[Shotimes] OT: F1 Slowdown

[Shylo McKinsey]

Well I don't know about that. I'd honestly take my
dad's 351 '69 Mach 1 over my SHO. Too bad I have a
higher top end then he does, but with a swap of the
tranny...

Guess I'm stuck (car of my dreams-wise) in the 60's.
One day I'll own a Dodge Charger with a 440. Paint it
orange, and weld the doors shut. Now if I could just
find someone good at painting flags...

;-)
