Perhaps nothing in the automotive world carries as much dramatic tension as the start-up of a great car. The whine of the fuel pump, the prayerful turn of the key (or push of the button) the whir-er-er of the starter. And then: GRAWWWWM!
I'm taking the advice of Goodspellar (aka Walter Röhrl's Left Foot), who inspired today's QOTD. The Shelby American Museum in Boulder, Colorado must be an amazing place to work, if just for the possibility that someone might let you fire up a Ford GT40 MkIV once in a while, and then die of ecstasy. I guess it's more like a temp job.
