BLACK BEAUTY - AN AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR STORY ..2014..
In America,, youths especially the ones in the 70's and 80-s WERE honored to see and drive some of the most classic cars of all times.. Its funny, when i was this young teenage , Van Halen listening , keg drinking guy from Cali.. I thought that those cars would be there forever..?? I mean why not.. The Mustangs , Camaro's Challengers , Chevelles'.. etc WERE the best cars ever.. I recall driving my neighbors BOSS MUSTANG..I was forever hooked on Muscle Cars.. I dreamed one day I would get one.. I mean my classmates were driving them.. Why not me? Well parents.. Mama were scared to death for me to own one.. So destiny... forbearance.. or what... I never owned one... Until I retired from the US NAVY.. and my beautiful wife said one day.. Lets do it.. I mean buy that Dream Muscle car as your retirement gift.. Well.. The problem was.. what Muscle Car to buy.. the Iconic Mustang that is seen everywhere , or the Camaro.. with the release of the Transformer movies.. or the Challenger that I saw on FAST FIVE AND SIX.. you guys remember... so.. off to test drives.. No doubt .. The Mustang was the faster . smoothest and electrifying car to drive.. It just felt like a race car and felt like you were the boss.. but.. I still had the Camaro to test drive.. man.. that was fun too.. But i felt like somethings missing.. I wasn't totally wooed.. or what.. so on a rainy St Patricks day 2012.. I finally got into a Suped up Black . with red hash marks stripes Dodge 2012 Challenger.. Like i said it was rainy and roads were slick.. but after driving and sliding all around the so call race track in temecula parkway.. I was hooked.. I said this is it.. It had the power , styling and room , back seat and truck space I desired and wanted.. It was fast, powerful and smooth. It had a cruiser like feel , but a pedal to metal feel when you wanted it.. and since then.. the looks and aw,, and attention I have or should I say My car gets is uplifting...
I get thumbs up at dept stores and the streets.. Its really uplifting that People love Muscle cars.. But here in Socal .. people love cars,, and muscle cars have that extra hook , everyone loves.. Its like looking at a woman with nice curves in the right spaces and great front and rear ends and of course great performance.. Its something I enjoy everytime I start up beauty,, she revs up with that muscle car sound and roars down the road with pride.. But what makes me laugh or smile,, is when these guys in regular rice burner cars or throw a away cars and try to race by me.. really? come on people.. can you just admire American muscle without trying to tempt me.. ?? Its a daily thing I go through , but its fun, because its the it factor that this car has.. People feel threatened or they feel they need to show me something. If anything it just shows me your insecure dreamer that needs to get REAL.. but ITS OK.. I know i have a bad ass car , as my old friend Al,, calls it.. I know what i have and I am proud of it.. No need to prove myself,, But at times. I let it rip.. especially after cops pull over someone. I push it up 120 and above. I know.. that's fast.. well if you have a regular car,, it is.. But this car can go fast,, and get there quickly.. so there..
Before I go I want to pay tribute to Paul Walker the FAST AND FURIOUS STAR,, I want to say my condolences to his family , friends and many fans.. I really dig his movies.. Ever since I saw the first of the movies , while I was stationed in Japan.. I said,, I will get a muscle car before my life is done.. and now that I have it.. I'm enjoying every minute and second I drive the muscle car machine..I know .. Its a risk to drive fast and I'm not going to lie.. I speed many more times than I should. But if you had the power and torque that this car has.. You would too.. Black beauty not only looks good , but performs even better. So if you should see me around cruising around San Diego , Temecula,,, etc.. wave and smile.. because behind the tinted windows is a happy guy from SOCAL.. ENJOYING HIS DREAM CAR,, that my dream girl.. wife bought for,,,me.. I'm blessed to have her and beauty in my life and my family that seems to love the many blogs, pictures and family outings.. with beauty as the Star.. You cant define when a ride has it,, But based on the smiling faces and thumbs up I get whenever I take her for a spin.. BEAUTY not only has it , but she already ready to show it!!!! So to speak... Americans love their cars and I'm no different .. Its an addiction, a passion, that enthralls everyone,. and I'm glad I'm able to share my experiences with those fans of THE SOURCE AND THE TALES OF BLACK BEAUTY.. FOR THOSE THAT LOVE TO DRIVE.... WE SALUTE YOU.... DRIVE SAFE AND DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!! UNTIL MY NEXT BEAUTY TALE.. TAKE CARE AND ENJOY.. BECAUSE I DO EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!!
