OT: Cheap cars (was: 1%...)

And where in the US (other than maybe a private track or open desert) do you do 190 mph? Lats time I bounced my speedo off the 150 peg in my 70 Roadrunner GTX in the way-out secluded desert (about 1978) I got nailed by a state trooper and the fine kept me from buying gas for a few weeks. He clocked me at 162 on radar, freshly cal'd. Nice to have that speed but it really serves no purpose on the highways. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Chris Kennedy -> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 4:54 PM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: RE: OT: Cheap cars (was: 1%...) -> -> -> R.D Davis wrote: -> -> [snip] -> -> > The look on the face of a Porsche owner when an ancient rusting hulk -> > of a US automobile embarrasses him by leaving him in the dust -> like that -> > is quite funny to observe.
