A classmate came rumping into the parking lot in a nearly new Z28 same color with tan interior and a four speed. He said hop in and we went for a spin. It was my first ride in a Z28 and the fastest thing I had been in prior was a 271 Hp Mustang. Even though he was still getting used to it I could tell it was extremely fast. A week later he out ran the fastest ride at school, a 55 Chevy with a built 350 and 4speed. Then the week after that his folks were coming up on the main drag from a side street and he went by sideways grabbing gears and they took it and sold it and bought a 66 Chevy SS with a 327 powerglide.

Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
