Not me, but my friend and neighbor Mike.
He spent the whole summer re-doing a 1967 Barracuda 273 Hi-Po,
4-speed fastback. Painted it just like the Mopar Missle, with Cragars.
Looked beautiful. re-did the engine himself, including putting in a
Crane 'Fireball' camshaft, headers, etc.
First day of school, he drives it in. everyone OOHs! and AHHS!.
On the way home from school, I'm riding in the school bus, and who comes up behind us, Mike in his Killer Cuda.
It's a 2-lane road, and he's waiting to pass, finally he gets his chance, and pulls out alongside the bus, and he guns it, but the car doesn't pull,
he's now side-by-side with a 'Wayne Bus' full of high-school kids.
The bus driver floors hit, as everyone is yelling 'Don't let him pass' maybe we were going 50 MPH, and we start pulling away from the Cuda. He couldn't pass us, and he backed off. The kids on the bus were roaring, and cheering on the bus driver!
That Cuda was 'cool no more'.
