I race them now and then in my DOTS featured datsun. They always win.

Lots of 60s GM iron on the street (Rivs, Buicks, Olds).

I want nothing more than a pink & black Roadmaster -- this thing is rad incarnate.

Just kidding. Pink OK for guys as long as it's outrageous, and this thing qualifies. My favorite guitar is pink; pink metalflake with a black/opal green metalflake back cut out in an oversize spaceage Rickenbacker 365 shape with pearloid bindings and pickguard. Nothing ghey about it.

I have a particular fondness for the Bay Area and old cars as daily drivers. Thanks for making the effort to do this so often for us.

There's gotta be a story behind it. Wife's car, maybe? Went through a phase in college and just got too lazy to change it? Got Punk'd on Overhaulin'?

Still, glad to know that somewhere in a corner of the world people still enjoy working on old cars. Must be automotive heaven over there in comparison.

Id love to have one as a streeter, but it just doesnt make sense in this part of the courty. Id have to spend endless time and money updating it.

Maybe when i have both, thats what ill do. lol
