Yep. And that is the reason I will not buy a muscle car of
any type.

Funny that you say that. The true "muscle car" era was very
short-lived.
It's origins was in the early 60's with limited availability
to the
consumer - manufacturers had to build a minimum number of car
models and
engines (427 Ford, 426 hemi Chrysler) engines a year to
qualify as
"stock" for NASCAR racing purposes. The 1964 Pontiac Tempest
GTO is
considered by many to be the first mass produced "muscle
car". (It's an
interesting story how how John DeLoreon managed sneak that one
by the
Board of Directors at Pontiac). But, by the end of the 60's
the fed had
started imposing emission requirements that lowered
compression ratios and
horsepower. By 1972 there was no longer a true stock "muscle
car".

Now, within the past 5 years or so and due to advancements in
engineering
and engine design, there are some current model cars that can
outperform
their 1960 something counterparts. For example, the new Dodge
Charger R/T
with the mini-hemi is faster than a '69 Charger R/T with the
high output
440.
Not by much ... but it's faster and handles much better. Same
is true of
the limited production version of the new GTO.

So .... you may be driving a muscle car and not even realize it.

I can burn rubber with my 6 cylinder 2005 Mercury Sable. ;-)

Grow up and act like a man.

Kevin, you and Don are quickly becoming the primary idiots of the
newsgroup. Neither of you knows when to shut up and let things
just do by.

This is classic!! How funny. Let's see, we've got Bert, who
blindly and
ignorantly calls me Kevin every post, saying that *I* don't know when
to let things go!!! How stupid can it get, folks?

Kevin, you keep responding to posts that according to you don't
apply to
you. How much more fun can this be?


Are you really so stupid that you can't figure that out? YOU, being
dumb as a post, respond to ME, to my posts, and ignorantly call me
Kevin. Grow up.

Kevin, you need to go out and get a cup of coffee and wake up I
believe you are still asleep or still in a stupor *from you drinking*
and smoking activities on your drive to work.



D'oh! I try to compliment you and you prove me wrong already.
eg "*from you drinking*"



Some months ago, Bert posted that he quit high school to join the marines.

More recently, Bert posted that he was graduated from high school.


I believe the former, not the latter.


He may have completed some kind of equavilant program while in the
reserve. What else did he have to occupy his time while hiding out
stateside.
