Well see Spore people are wise...drive new cars instead of old classic hot rods that you have to work on all of the time and only get 7 miles per gallon fuel economy...LOL
The car is a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle naturally aspirated. The 138 number in a vehicle identification number referring to the model of Chevelle. A 136 car is just a plain old Malibu with a skinny block Chevy. A 138 car is a true Super Sport SS car which had the fat block engine. Something akin to like in a Honda B16 and B18 considered by Americans to be "skinny" block where a H24 is considered akin to a "big" block. Yeah I know they are on K motor now but I'm old school guy...
Don't worry man I have you covered on the automobiles just stay tuned! I have literally hundreds of snaps of hot rods and all sorts of automobilia and I have a few video clips we'll see about getting thrown up (or at least links) that will really blow your mind...
PS Where there are hot rods there are women! The only thing I like better than cars... hehehaha
Many American muscle cars of that era were actually underrated on their ponies a lot of that to do with Ralph Nader who wrote a book called Unsafe at any speed which shined a spotlight on the US auto industry and it's safety record (apparently they didn't learn anything from him either because there is great big scandal with GM and others at this time). Anyways because of Nader we started to see seat belts and safety related things like that mandated by the government. So to keep Nader off their backs and also to keep insurance rates affordable for their customers the big auto makers seriously underrated many of the HP figures for their higher end muscle cars.
I am somewhat familiar with this COE deal you all are up against. I feel like it is probably necessary for SP because of the situation. In fact as much as I love automobiles I prefer to walk or ride a bike nowadays. Fortunately I am able to do this because I don't really go anywhere anymore except to work. It is hard to live in America without a ride though unless you live in a major city with good mass transit systems. My community is a small town of 20K people just outside a mid sized city of around 500K - 1 million people so it is a bit easier for me to walk places. Whenever I have lived in Tulsa though I have pretty much always needed a car.
BTW I drive 1987 model Chevy S10 pick up truck...maybe next year Sick 10 gets V8 and some spray to make her run like a striped @ss ape!
OK we shall lay this thread to rest then...
