Just being honest. When one of the first cars I drove was my dad's award-winning '66 Fastback with a bored Chevy 350 with a GMC 4-71 blower bolted atop of it....tied to a turbo 400 tranny with a kenne-bell switch pitch dual-stall speed manually controlled torque converter....a youngster's initial impression of the "automobile" is "Gee, so this is a fast car." This inaccurate depiction of one's normal view of a fast car is then seeded into my psychie...as deep down I know I am always going to try to relive that childhood feeling in my own car...which will never happen.

Having a dad who owns a couple of "one-of-a-kind" cars that make one want to re-invent the "oh shyt" bar is part of reason I blame him for my heavy foot.
