    1. that would be the COOLEST! Damn shame that more great stuff like this wasn't saved for a museum, or was photographed and featured in an article about the golden age of demo derbys, when jalopies were dirt cheap in the era when junkyards were everywhere.
      Now? It's all just history, and there are no jalopies, no junkyards, no demo derbies, and the gas engine is looking at the next thing, all electric car laws.
      We just might be dinosaurs

  2. I prefer being a dinosaur. After all, they were around for a hundred and sixty million years. And they have provide us with fuel for years to come. I guess that makes me a racist. Or should i say racer?
