LOL! As a matter of fact, I did whip it out once..a table mechanic named Dan and I BSing cars one day, he fondly remembering a bother's '67 427 'Vette. So, I looked up it's stats from an old Road & Track test, made print outs of the data sheet above and that test. Amazingly, 1/4 mile times, 0-60, 0-100 identical. Dan laughed his ass off, took the sheets to show to his brother. I posted this here some years back..do a search if you don't believe me.
But no, I don't keep it in my Jack Justis case with my Keith Josey custom pool cue. The Josey is among the 3 butts and 5 shafts my case contains.
Grocery clerk? Cindy does the grocery shopping. Gas station? Mostly spend that time explaining that there was an old movie made as the reason for the "Bullitt" on the faux gas cap. Most of today's youthful pump jockeys never heard of Steve McQueen or any of his movies.
Now..on to the price of tea in China?
