The next weekend I was over at Rachael's, and one of her roommates is a big guy in his 40's who does dialysis three times a week, and loves to regale me with stories of the 455 Pontiacs he had in high school.
I coerced him into a ride in the Valiant, and after 3 or 4 first and second gear squirts he was laughing and carrying on about how great if felt to really get smacked in the backside again!! I've always loved making memories for others... it's one of the gifts of the car hobby that should never be taken for granted!
