Yes and I am even partial to a nice straight axle setup!As a matter of fact I am going to do one within the year hopefully because I never had one and I think they are cool!Belaire,post a couple of pictures of that Henry J you had,I seen one somewhere and that was a cool looking ride.I do not have a plasma screen in a vehicle but my Wife does have a tv with a vcr player and on long trips I do actually watch it sometimes.Laid back there one day and watched American Grafitti turned out to be a really nice ride home!I very seldom listen to the stero in any of my classics because I like to hear the sound of the car.Although I do carry csome cassette tapes of the Beach Boys,ZZ Top,Led Zepplin,Bachman Turner Overdrive,Kentucky Head Hunters,even a few old doo wop tapes to boot and a few others to listen to when the mood strikes!

Don't get me started on the crap they're doing to cars and trucks nowadays. Performance add ons like turbos and suspension and braking are fine, but these huge wheels with no tire, tv's, dvd's, video games, huge stereos, carbon fiber everything! That stuff is a huge waste of money. And where are these kids getting the money from to dump into their cars? Some of the kids in our local Camaro/Firebird club are paying $4000-6000 a year for insurance on a late model Camaro/Firebird! Who can afford that and the car payment? But my 88 4Runner does have a little bling itself with the big 3" chrome exhaust tip! Don't blame me, it came with the cat-back exhaust.

When you see some 20yr old kid dropping 100k into his civic, you gotta wonder what this kid does for a living. Like to see that car at BJ and hear what their "experts" have to say about it.

There seem to be a lot of kids that get access to a fund on their 21st birthday... I know of one local kid that as soon as control was turned over to him, he blew it all on a ricer. It was nice for about a year... but then since he ran through all the money setting up the car, he no longer had any money to maintain the car... now that it is 3 years old, it has a number of crappy things about it that he can't afford to fix.
