Re: Mercedes eye-roll. Need opinions
The TC post reminded me of my first introduction to the world of fast cars. I was 7 or 8 years old and my I was with my dad. We always would go look at car together and he finally found something he thought he could talk my mom into buying. He had spotted a Red Dodge Spirit R/T, 1992 version. It had the 2.2 DOHC turbo, intercooled, Getrag 5 sp, wood grain delete. We pulled onto US 31 and he nailed it. Getting planted into the front passenger seat is something I will never forgot and seeing the smile on my dad's face. Mom agreed, it had air bags and ABS I think was his rationale to her. She understood what it could do. Anyway its a special time anytime we can go looking at cars together. I am hoping to be able to get him to do Tail of the Dragon money and time permitting. We are planning a week long road trip to the bad lands and rockies in the early summer. The Spirit was one of the fastest cars I have ever been in my young age includeing a 78 400 Firebird Formula, Slightly tuned 67 Olds Toronado, 63 Fairlane with tuned 260, 353 Galaxie, and Supercharged Buick Riviera.If I could find another R/T or Daytona R/T turbo I would jump on it and begin my collection.
