You dudes needs to start lathering up the cocoa butter like us blacks do. Stay extra greasy gents! Keeps that skin glossy and those balls moisturized.

I actually do use moisturizer and it does a lot of good.

This TV star couldn't read a book until he was 31. Can you guess who it is without looking it up?

Did he end up playing Herman Munster?

Another great era for automobiles is today. My wife's G05 X5 40i gets twice the mileage of this Shelby, does 0-60 one and a half seconds faster, and it's way safer in the event of an accident.

Don't get wrong, I love the muscle car era, but the vehicles we have available today are simply awesome.

Not too many things made in 1966 compare that well to things made today, but what the '60's introduced automotively were some of the most varied and interesting performance cars ever seen. Attending the 1966 SCCA runoffs (back then, held in conjunction with the USRRC), we watched in awe a Shelby GT350 runaway with the win in B production. It sounded great and looked so planted in the turns. To think that Ford dealers were selling them or that one could rent one from Hertz boggled the mind...although as a 17 year old I wasn't eligible.

You can rent the modern version now if you’d like.

The bad news is, time flies.

The good news is, you’re the pilot.
