Color Me Gone, Baby!

"What kinda sounds you like? Rock, soul, hillbilly...western?" That's exactly what any courteous GTO Judge driver should ask his passenger when reaching for the 8-track stash in the center console. Thanks to this YouTuber, we can all enjoy some Two-Lane Blacktop to get our Monday afternoon started right. This sequence has had a powerful effect on me over the years; back when I owned a slushbox-equipped Volvo 144, I would stomp on the gas, wait about ten seconds for the downshift, then scream "Color me GONE, baby!" as all 118 Swedish horses kicked- or rather, trudged- in (for some reason, it never occurred to me to do this while driving my GTO).
