Didn't you run a picture of yourself, thus posed, not too long ago?

Indeed I did.

I probably have one next to my 1971 Volkswagen Beetle, but I wouldn't call it "super cool" in any way.

I'd sure like to have a couple of those, especially the Plymouth 'Cuda or the early GTO. I wonder how many of those people still have that car.

My guess would be none of them, but maybe somebody was smart enough to keep one.

I had the Barracuda, first version with the largest back window. It may have been super cool, but I wasn't. It did get me cross-country from Cleveland to Stanford, California - longest drive of my life. I don't think there's a photo anywhere of me with any of my cars, which now number 7, if I didn't miss one.

In the 70s, I had a '72 Plymouth Satellite, white top over black body. 160 mph on the speedometer, and Ginger used to cruise at 100 mph on the highway. I was more conservative, however, keeping it under 70 (lol).
