I worked on '60s and '70s big-block MOPARs in the '80s, back when they didn't have all that bullshit like power steering and PCV. They were so easy and logical. My best friend's stepdad had a '64 Cuda; I was the only person he let drive it other than himself.

Do you have any pics of said Cuda? I’d love to see them if you do.

No, wait, I do have one pic that you might appreciate (not of the Cuda):

Inka, a very large black cat, lying belly-up on a board porch circa 1985. Yes, it's a trap: he was a mean sonofabitch, but he was MY mean sonofabitch.

One of the most funny racing things I heard was when I was a kid at local dirt track and a hemi caught fire. Some drunk guy just screamed “GO MOPAR” and that had stuck with me even when this happened lol.
