It's early in the morn. Had to run out. I pull up to a traffic light. Next to me is a cherry GTO. Driver and I exchange smiles. Light turns green and he lays a big strip of rubber. Made my morning.

When I got back home I pulled out a 45 with that song that I got as a promo from GM years ago. The flipside has them running a GTO through its paces at the Milford proving grounds. It came with some cool posters which I think I lost.
For some reason I always preferred the 389 instead of the 421. Maybe because a friend of my Dad's had one (with the column stick shifter) and let me try it out a few times before I was legal to drive.
Years later a friend bought one of the top racing GTOs around here from the owner/builder. That's when I discovered the marvels of a Hurst shifter with an engine that could probably fly a small jet.
Notice how the driver in this video crabs that he could only do 140mph on that last bunch of turns.

Another one of my favorites was the AMC AMX with a Ford 390. Talk about a small, overpowered, car that was tricky to handle.

I have done just that with kids and grandkids. Just so they know how to handle driving. Snow tricks are even more fun. Yeah, I know that was a newer GTO. Kids have never had an accident. I have. I just try to pass on knowledge and a respect for commonsense. Each person's capabilities and reactions are theirs to deal with.

This vid ain't mine, but conveys the fun. It ain't just me. I remember one night that we're cruising through South Dakota in a "prototype." I'm snoozing in copilot seat when Kathy says she's a little tired and is going to step down and set cruise control at 110mph. "OK. Just don't get us in a ditch. I'm going back to sleep." Cheap thrills.

True story. As always, know your limits and skills. Enjoy another sunrise or sunset on SBH.

Just rummaging through some old Motown stuff. One of my favorites:

If in the area, check "the home of Motown" (My sis and nephew paying homage.)

Great picture! Great song! When we were first married, my sweetheart was in a band that practiced at our house. They referred to it as Soul Club. As in, "Soul Club's here tonight."
"No Soul Club tonight. Hazel's in labor." Hazel was the lady saxophone player. "I'll be Doggone" was one of their signature selections. In fact, I can hear it now.

As a punk kid I got to play with some of these folks. What a long strange trip it's been.
