Plus.. If the "poping" bugs ya? yer too fuking young...Buy a damned Honda.
Some of us remember "lakepipes" and sparkplugs in the tailpipes made cars fast. I tells ya, some of you young pups are starting to bug me..
Hey Bust,
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I stuffed a 427 into my 67 Camaro in high school and had myself a blast back in the day. In those days, I lived about 15 miles from Woodward Ave. in Detroit and used to love cruising on the weekends.
Zilla,
The only sucking sound I heard from that Camaro was gas tank draining. I think that 427 got gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon.
Anyway Bust
You mentioned, "lakepipes." Maybe you could help me out.
I'm getting ready to use the old classic song, "Little Deuce Coupe" in my reading class. I'm a reading teacher and my kids enjoy reading the words as the music plays. We'll be studying the words of the song coming up soon, and I was wondering what the words, "she purrs like a kitten till the lakepipes roar" meant. I was assuming that lake pipes were some sort of straight pipes or something. Since you've been there and done that, could you shed a little light on that for me?
