24 years old and cruising around in my '56 Dodge D500 looking for 283's to demoralize. The only way to tell that the Coronet two door "cheapliner" had anything other than a gasping flathead six under the hood was a little crossed flags emblem on the left front corner of the hood. It had a little 315c.i. hemi in it that was factory rated at 260hp.

So I had a bit of an unfair advantage. Is there a problem with that?

Also, stuck in a job I didn't like in and industry that didn't interest me and freshly dumped by a girl I thought was the only woman in the world for me.

....... You gotta take the bad with the good, don't you?
