1977 wow! Good year! That’s the year I was born!

John want’s more horsepower.

1977: He buy’s him self a used 1970 Chevelle SS for $2,500.00 for an extra $800.00 put’s edelbrock headers on it, straight flow exhaust, performance cam, a holley performance carb and airfilter. Fills up gas tank with premium for $5.80 turns engine on, he hears and feels the rumble of his big block V8, he smells the raw fuel blowing out the exhaust, he smashes the gas and away he goes sideways all the way down the street leaving two patches of black rubber all the way down the street and a cloud of smoke in the air. The cop see’s him and gives him a thumbs up and yells “nice car!”

2007: Can’t afford the gas or insurance on a V8 has to settle for a 4 cylinder but he refuses a FWD car. He buy’s a 240sx. Has to swap engine, upgrade turbo, downpipe, exhaust from front to back, performance muffler, FMIC, hotpipe, blow off valve, ignition coils, fuel pump, rad, injectors, mafs, stand alone, do tuning blah blah blah etc. etc. etc. $11,500.00 (includes price of car) later Fills up tank with ultra 94 for $70.00 pulls out on the street, can’t go fast because a speeding ticket will almost double his insurance rate, a cop see’s him, pulls him over because his car is modified, he get’s 3 tickets (unnessesary noise, inproper bumper/ground clearance and inproper air intake) and he still needs more horsepower.

I guess there is a flip side to this:

1977: John takes turn too fast with Chevelle SS, car flips over ends up in ditch and writen off. John discovers car only goes fast straight. Cops charge John with careless driving.

2007: John takes turn too fast with 240sx, he doesn’t notice, car rides like it’s glued to the pavement, he learns to drift, John discovers 240sx can go just as fast around turns, he now speeds up to take turns. Cops can’t catch John, crown vics and Chargers can’t handle.

I see a patern developing every 10 years:
1977:- John is born
1987:- Buick Grand National (enough said)
2007:- John’s 240sx get’s an SR20DET
2017:-John’s son is born in the back seat of his 87 Grand national
