wish i could find that article. anyways, at the time i remember my feeling was it seemed like, to me, the only cars that seem to last that long are ugly cars.

yea i remember that, it was some pickup truck he had since the late 70's

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
