1960 VW bug with the mighty 36 hp engine. 0 to 60 was maybe, if no headwind. With a tailwind it was 72 seconds. With a headwind it was not going to happen.

77 Camaro, rust holes.

While tectonic plates could beat it in zero to something, it was mine and got me off the ranch. I loved it so. I bought from a friend of my father's who was transitioning to a job in DC: $139 scooters, the price of a one-way ticket from LAX to DCA in those days.

The first car I owned was a 1953 HenryJ. I wasn't old enough to drive it off the farm.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1604252767.jpg Dad sold my HenryJ when we left the farm. When I was 16 I bought a 1960 VW Beetle for $600. |
Like this one..but with air in the tires and much more rust.
(I considered this color to be "red". Friends always called it "orange". It was a issue of contention.) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1604253243.jpg |
