Muscle Car Wars.. 2014..
Wow, never in the Muscle Car era have we seen such an resurgence so to speak with the Muscle Car Industry. thanks to us baby Boomers- , that are reliving - mid life crisis, about the cars we grew up driving racing and of course showing off.. Some of my favorites back in the day were the Mustang Boss 7o's,, or the Pontiac 60's Pontiac Fire birds, the Dodge Charger and Challenger and of course the Corvettes. The Corvette is the true American Super Car.. Great looks, power and proven durability and style. I really liked the last 7o's early eighties style.. It made such an impression I ended up buying a black Toyota Supra back in the day , it was a 86 style,, looked like a mini corvette, still one of my favorite cars, if I could..I would get another one.. just for kicks and giggles,,That car was fast and agile .. but in a smaller version of the Big Corvette.. ah. those were the days .. But times changed and so did the Muscle cars.. recall the ugly days of Mustang, Camaro, Pontiacs,,, late 70's early 8o's.. I think were the ugly times,, But those days are over.
Today , we are seeing a transformation and resurgence of the car wars ,, I thought we were in gas crisis? But anyways.. The Muscle Cars today are faster , stronger , and have better gas mileage than the old days go figure.. Black beauty , my dodge challenger muscle car can get 25 mpg , if I cruise around the freeways.. . why? or how? My car has eco boost, which is a system that goes into 4 cylinder effect .. cutting gas usage very dramatically. I use it most of the time. But when I don't my mpg can be in single digits.. yikes.. But anyways.. The way the Mustangs , Camaro's , Corvettes, Vipers , and such are building faster and more powerful cars,, is just amazing.. I mean,, gas is nearly 5 dollars a pop. and we have making muscle cars? It makes no sense, but if theres a market and apparently there is.. The baby boomers want to enjoy their later years with cars they used to drive or dreamed about driving in their youths.. and we muscle car fans are enjoying it .. I enjoy seeing the Corvettes, the Mustangs , Camaro's , Vipers, GTS, NISSANS.. etc on the roads,, I get a thrill.. and when they want to race?? Well what do you think I would do? Theres something invigorating watching a fast car move. Its like watching a beautiful woman dance. its something to behold. I'm not sure how long this revival will last, but for the lucky ones with muscle cars.. Enjoy it. because senses , or dollars at the gas pump will prevail. and the muscle cars we drive,,, will end up being week end show off cars , instead of the daily driver ,that I use mine for.. But as long as we can.. or I can.. I'm going to drive my car around and letting people see the muscle car images that a lot of us used to see as a youth. I know we can go back in time.. but having a throwback retro muscle car is the next best thing.. Cruising down the roads, blasting Van Halen, ACDC, METTALLICA.. is what my muscle car yearns for.. But most of all listening to my Hemi powered , loud and proud car rolling down the road.. just makes me smile, even though the neighbors look and smirk , or just plain hating on me, because I'm driving what they call a loud , noisy , attention grabbing , obnoxious hot rod, that does nothing for the environment and adds danger more than safety on the roads. I have served this great country for over 20 years and made sacrifices to my life and family, so why can I have the car of my dreams and live the remaining years enjoying life. I gave my life to protect this country and now I'm driving one of the Iconic Muscle cars today and enjoying how all the others are producing the fastest cars available to American Muscle Car fans.. I know this war will not last forever , but I'm glad I got mine.. and who knows.. Maybe I can talk my wife in getting one ,, when it time to get another car.. But that's another venture and discussion that will take a lot of talking . hehe.. But for now.. Everyone Enjoy the Muscle Car wars and what kinds of cars we are seeing and driving. Because we all know .. It will end and these Cars will become classics.. But you something.. That's what Muscle Cars are.. Here for awhile.. make an impression. than become the weekend warriors.. and classics.. until the next Muscle Car wars.. or maybe... The Muscle Car wars will last forever or until we have baby boomers still interested in the Muscle Car vibe.. Its really hard to explain the Muscle car craze.. ....Other than.. Enjoy the cars of today and if you get a chance to drive, test drive any of them, please do.. It might make you a Muscle Car crazy person like me.. Its a passion and desire I enjoy everytime I take black beauty for a cruise to the store or the gym.. Until my next blog.. Enjoy driving and be safe!!
