I know what you are saying. Just at that moment when my 98 V70 T5M crosses over to boost and the front end rises up just a bit and I feel myself pushed back in the seat ... at that moment I can begin to let go of my diesel which would be passed by the 18-wheelers going uphill.

69 Firebird, huh? My first car out of college was a 69 Pontiac Le Mans, 2-door blue with white interior, 350 c.i. HO engine cranking 330 hp thru a 3-speed Hurst shifter. No power steering, no power brakes, no A/C .. all the horses went to the wheels. Man, that car would fly. Traded it in for my first Brick (1974 242).

Strange .... I can hear Barbra Streisand singing, "Memories ... like the corners of your mind ...."

Nostalgically,
