That Adonis guy?

I don't really get his whole deal, how he fakes all those weird diets and theories just to TRY to be different and weird.

I don't understand this post or him.

I am repulsed by him and his ramblings.

My car: 67 Ford Mustang, Fastback. Brittany Blue.
Still have it today. Back then it had 68 rims on it, because my aunt (who I inherited the vehicle from) didn't know any better and someone told her those were correct. After high school I spent $2200 redoing the entire interior....top to bottom. Then put American Torque Thrust D's on it.
Right now, it's in the garage awaiting a 450+hp 351W. No front end on it, and I'm restoring it ground up!

A crappy green 1978 Subaru station wagon that burned oil, similar to the pic below. I had to put the seat all the way back. Looking in the window from the side, it looked like I was driving from the rear seat. It got 30 plus miles per gallon, though, so would be a pretty good ride today. It was a chick magnet!

Would you like to have that today?

My very first car was a 1959 MGA. It was so cool. Convertible and the windows didn't roll down, you pulled them out and put them in the trunk. The horn was a button on the dash, had knock-off wire hubs, even had one of those bars you stick in the front and crank the motor in case the starter didn't work. Didn't synchro so it was weird to drive. I then got a 66 Mustang 4 speed. It was an awesome car with headers, a McCleod racing clutch, Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley 4 barrel carb. It was really nice but then wrapped it around a light pole as I was going to race my friend and his corvette.

I switch back and forth all the time.
My work truck is a 9 or 10 (depends on the tractor) speed transmission, clutch. My personal car is an automatic, with the ability to use clutch-less shifting.
When I jump in a car, I have so many things running through my mind. Clutch or auto? Shift with or without the clutch?
Once, when my car was in the shop, I drove my Dads T-Bird. I drove about 35 miles from work to home, and I realized I didn't use the clutch ONCE. Force of habit I guess!

I don't think anyone in the U.S. takes offense to be called a "yank". Hell, we call everyone else douche bags. $:-\$

TA, I usually don't converse with you.

But

You do know

That my physique smokes yours?

I mean, I'd never even bother to compare, bc its obvious.

But you engender this response.

And haha, yeah, I do look a bit like uncle rico. Funny!

Moosejay, you always post cool stuff. But don't you mean your physique smoked adonis'. You can't compare the two now. And I think that is his entire point. That you might live a little bit for the past. No offense.
