It is amazing watching how tastes have grown into something respectable (Berto, Scotty, etc.) yet we still maintain a fun factor in things. It also has to do with our environments and the ever-changing real world factors.
I love my car. It's the longest I've owned any one car in the 20+ I've had and I don't plan on getting rid of it. Is it fast? Yeah, although not the fastest around. I don't care. It makes me happy and it still gets plenty of attention plus I enjoy driving it.
It's been a long road since my Z28 and Radio Shack/Arbys/etc. I'm really happy on how I, my vehicles, and CR have turned out overall.
