I felt much safer in those 1970s Caddys/Electras/Bonnevilles/Furys/LTDs than I feel in modern air-bag cars. It was pretty tough to roll one over, too.

Both Motion and Yenko would build a V8 Vega for you. Do-it-yourselfers had to climb in and out NASCAR style a lot. The V8 motor would twist the Vega body enough to jam the doors shut. Reinforcing the frame before installing the V8 would prevent the jammed doors.

Vega. Melting your cylinder heads es muy macho.

"Connecticut Scooter Pros has it listed for $1999"
That is over 500 bucks south of what the Taiwanese scooters sell for.

I rode my scoot to the polls this morning for early voting. Then onto the post office and hardware store for a few things.

Tougher than me, hillbillybob. If it's under 40d, I don't get on the scooter, even with my wind shield is mounted.

A legalized speedway bike would be a blast around town. I saw a pic of a legalized one in the UK.
THE 500CC Jawa, both old and new versions, have no gear box. You would need to rig a cvt to reach more streetable speeds.

Rio Grande, because Ben Johnson was in it. My uncle used to take us to the drive in to see those movies. My parents hated drive ins.

In the hot summer, it is actually feels cooler to me to take the scoot on short trips. The car becomes an oven in the summer heat.

I made a grocery story run on the Buddy for some cillantro. Short ride, but I was able to try out my new helmet.

Cool find. Too bad they never made the Honda Gyro with a bigger engine.
