I build race cars Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,748 Joined: 31-August 05 From: Central coast, CA Member No.: 874	I got 73% I was on a roll for a while, got tripped up on the real early stuff. Mopar, Ford and Chevy are easy, boy there were some ugly oddball cars made back then. The first time I was 100mph was early 60's with my dad in a hemi DeSoto, taking the car up to grandpas farm to retire it. Brought home a 49 Chrysler New Yorker with a straight 8. I was riding with my mom in a 57 Plymouth, RF LBJ let go, wheel flopped over and ripped the brake line off - we were on a 4 lane divided so were probably going 65mph - she just calmly let it slow down and guided it onto the shoulder. I remember watching the shower of sparks behind us. I don't miss the old cars at all.
