Muscle Cars

Post by MetDream »

Summer Time is Classic Car time in Northern Nevada. Last weekend was the big finale to the week long annual Hot August Nights Celebration of the Classic Car. Hot August Nights is party time in my family. The relatives fly in and my uncle leads the pack to go walk the "show and shine" i.e. car shows. When I go with him, my favorite old cars are the classic Muscle Cars.

Yesterday, while at the dentist finishing off the dental work from last week, I read an Car and Driver magazine with a special on Muscle Cars. My question to you are the "muscle cars" just an American thing? Or do you guys in the rest of the world into them.

My favorite muscle car: Chevelle Super Sport. I like the '69-'71s the best.

My dad was always a big fan of muscle cars and we've been to multiple shows in the western part of the us, there aren't many shows in europe I guess, but it's not typical american

I love muscle cars, I'd take one over a Rice-burner any day.

I was going to put a big custom V8 in my stock looking VH Commodore, but then I got dinted so I decided to forget it for this car - and of course insane Petrol prices makes it pretty much unreasonable to drive something like that anymore :(
