    That’s a badass Vette !! Gotta respect a guy that has committed to daily-ing a C3, 80 miles a day ……. I hear’75 was a big comfort year for the driver experience lol

      I vaguely remember riding in a 75 stingray as a kid , I was so awestruck that I didn’t care what it rode like ! I found later on that the C 4,5&6 are a little rough on the long hauls when your 6’5” 😮

    AMC is making a comeback...especially the 4x4 Eagles.
    I bought a 2 door brand new in 1984 because I had to cross the mtns from Virginia to West Virginia several times a yr....
    I had my wife & 1 yr old daughter with me one such trip & we got caught in a blizzard ...the weather said "flurry's" .
    But thats mtn weather for ya. Very unpredictable.
    Although to route we took was a snow route , the roads were not plowed .
    Near the top of the pass we found a mom & pop grocery store open & we stopped . The snow was a foot deep at this point &
    Those folks were shocked to see a traveler in this blizzard . They invited us to stay til the roads were clear , but as luck would have it , a plow truck stopped by at 2 a.m. and we followed him over the mtn...
    That Eagle never spun a tire . It probably saved our lives that night ...More than one had been caught by storms over the yrs & not survived ...
    My daughter is 34 yrs old today . She doesnt remember of course, but she turned a yr old at that mom & pop store . They were a nice old couple & got a big kick outta my daughter & the fact that she turned 1 in their store...
    She has a stuffed bear still to this day the old folks gave her for her 1st b-day...
    True story ...

I am going to take a guess as to his frustration and say it was waaaaay up there, because I heard a really loud yell, and the old one looked like a missile headed for space 😳, rolmao
    I looked for it for days with no luck.
    BUT, when I was 14 by accident, I found it! 😂😅😂😅
    So I brought it to him, and said, "hey I found it!!". Well, the car was long gone 10 years, but the look. 😳☠️☠️☠️👁👁
    It definitely was not of joy. Then in a calm eerie voice he said, "it took you long enough. Now do us both a favor and put it back." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
