'Gear Head' is the name we gave guys back
in the day who were into hot cars...
The guys I grew up with were different - they had GTO's and hopped up Chevy's and Olds' - cars that only had about 40 parts and they did all that shit in the street in front of their houses.
Car and driver magazine put out an article last year called 'The 10 Most Beautiful Cars According to Leading Automotive Designers'.
It's a good article and well worth the read. Find it here:
Ya know, it's funny. When we were growing up, my old man always gave every car we ever had a name, and it was always a girl's name like 'Nellie' or 'Bertha'. I never did that until I got this truck. It has 190,000+ miles on it and it runs like a beatup old prize fighter. I call it Timex. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. And whistling. And coughing. And farting and burping.
But the old bitch still runs. I'll drive that fucker 'till one of us croaks. Juss' sayin'...
