1) Better era for Music
You can’t compare this:
and this:
With this:
And this:
2) Better era for cars.
What would you really like to drive?
This?
And this one…
Or you rather drive this..
Or even this one..
And to close this post, 2 things the 60s had that you cannot find now.
“In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.”
Douglas Adams
Thats what came to mind.
“These boots are made for walking” was a #1 hit in 1966. Air-cooled VW’s, the Honda Z600, just about any Fiat or Renault. from the 60’s. Now there are 4-banger Civics with more horsepower than a 60’s 289 Mustang. Now we’ve got 305HP Mustangs with gas mileage equaling a 60’s Beetle.
I’ll agree that “don’t send my friends to get shot by Viet Cong” is a better cause than ‘forgive my student loans’ though.
Honda Civics may go faster, but will never impart the respect a Muscle Car of that era will. The latest Rice Burner will not turn any heads in 5 years but drive around with a Charger R-T from that old era and mouths will drool and girls will feel the rumble of that engine give them a tingling sensation that will make them blush. They were unforgiving animals that would kill you if you did not respect them. Double points if you were cruising while the 8-track was playing Crosstown Traffic.
Hell an old Ford couple, like the Eliminator from ZZTops beginning days at MTY.

I saw one being driven while I was on to the way to my friends house last weekend. Purple and yellow paint. It was quite literally a traffic stopper…seeing as how I nearly missed getting through the light after it turned green because people were staring at the coupe.
ooops..that’s COUPE..not couple. Oh and miguel? they do still make women like that. I know a number of them. They’re pinup models in the classic sense of the word ‘pinup’
for starters I give you Miss Amanda Lee. Enjoy the vids!

The music alone is alluring. Makes you feel like you shouldn’t be watching at all which makes it more enticing.
There’s a balck rat-rod that drives around this town – some High School kid knows what cool really is, and it’s not an iPad…
The Mustangs are still hot…I like the 66 but I think I like mine better.
