Nostalgia: Cheatin'

This has entertained me for the last hour. I would love to have experienced the cali drag scene in the 50's/60's. Hell now I think about it, Cali in the 50's would've been great; drugs, surfer girls, drag racing, motorcycle gangs, and hippy chicks!

So, what's changed?

Our drugs are better, our girls easier, drag cars are faster.
Biker gangs will still **** you off and hippy chicks are still too dirty to touch. And both probably have antibiotic-resistant strains of staph infection.

I wouldn't say our drugs are better, our girls are easier or our cars are faster.

I don't know if you've ever driven an 800hp roadster that ways under 2000 pounds before but it's way ****ing scarier than any modern car I've ever been in. Or a front engine dragster spitting nitro fumes in your face while you try to negotiate a quarter mile blinded by smoke trying to look around your motor and your wheels.

And talk to any REAL hot rodder from those days and ask them about the girls.

As for hippy chicks... some are scary but in Santa Cruz we've got some insanely hot ones wondering around.

Read up on your hot rod history dude. Respect it.
