    It's great that you came across a pic of your Dad's old Mav though.

    very nice looking car

    i would join it.. but i prefer this forum.. great people, and in the past when i have joined a forum, i usually get the, "your a new guy, so shut the hell up" attitude

    not saying that would happen there, but of the 4 vehicle forums i have joined in my life, only 1 has been nice to me

    Nothing cool 'bout a 'maro being in front of a Maverick. It might blow up and one of the pieces hits the Mav. lol.

    it sure is funny.. looking back on those old pictures, i notice that all the cars had big tires, raised up higher than normal and they all had the hot rod look to them

    now a days, cars are lower, and have smaller tires on them

    call me silly.. but i like the look of the cars back then

    My guess is yes because everything was a stick back then. they were faster that way.
