Somebody once asked me why I was so fascinated with muscle cars. You know, its hard for an outsider looking in to understand why we muscle car lovers are so fanatical about our cars. Until theyve been behind the wheel of a newly restored 66 Pontiac GTO, they just havent a clue.
Why is it that we can browse through muscle car advertisements for hours on end? Why do we have to go to every muscle car show that comes near our town? Why do we drive out of our way to see some of the hottest muscle cars around? Why do we seemingly pour all of our extra money into our muscle cars?
Some people think a passion for muscle cars comes from peer pressure a need to impress other people per se. As a muscle car enthusiast I can honestly say thats not it, at least not for me. My interest in muscle cars dates way back to before I was ever concerned about what anybody thought. I have always found muscle cars to be fascinating and exciting.
First, muscle cars are original. Those who collect or restore muscle cars put their heart and soul into their hobby which makes every muscle car truly unique. Second, muscle cars are powerful. Theres nothing that gets the adrenaline...
