It really is an amazing car, given 445hp, it's performance and it's fuel
economy.
I should drive it all the time.
A car like that should be in a better climate.

Let me store it for you here in Florida. :-)


You wish. It's one of my only joys in life.

Took the Goat out for it's monthly turnaround today and stopped by my
younger (Eisboch Jr's) house. He's too young to remember or even know of
old school muscle cars. He thinks his high revving hemi in his Durango is
the balls.

So, when I left his house, I had to show him what old, low RPM, high torque,
American Muscle was all about......

Nice and straight. Interesting asphalt curbs.

I'm not sure I "get" the photo...are you referring to the tire marks?
I could do that with my 65 hp, 1953 Aero-Willys and, in fact, frequently
did, in first and second gear, but not third gear.




It had posi-traction and you could break lose in first and second?

Thought you were referring to the ability to lay down a strip of rubber
from the tires. About every stick shift I drove could do that, and so
could a few auto transmission cars.

No, my Aero-Willys did not have posi-traction. :) But I did once do a
360 with it on wet leaves on Ellsworth Avenue, just before Whalley
Avenue. Inadvertent, of course.

Did you guys see the tv program on 'drift racing' a couple days ago?
Now that seems like a waste of tires. Appears to be popular in Japan.

Not enough horsepower, hey? :)

Trade up to an Aero Willys.

Boy, now that's a knee-slapper, W'hine.

My Aero Willys had a lovely back seat, in which it was easy to get laid.
That, to a high school sophomore, was a tad more interesting than
spinning tires on pavement. Hell, it's more interesting to me now.
