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
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 pumping quite like sitting behind the wheel of a classic highperformance muscle car Third when you take a classic car restore it and muscle it up you really have something to be proud of Its a lot like an artistic ability for me like taking a blank canvas and creating an incredible piece of art out of it
One thing is for certain regardless of the reason a muscle car devotee is interested in muscle cars we all seem to talk the same talk and walk the same walk Dealing with muscle cars is an incredible social outlet Whether we collect restore show or race our muscle cars it doesnt matter Were all on the same wavelength and we truly enjoy looking at and chatting about muscle cars
Some enthusiasts have specific lines of muscle cars that they are interested in while others are just crazy about muscle cars in general Some like imports others like exports and most all muscle car enthusiasts have a strong interest in classics We can look at them talk about them drive them or just work on them Muscle cars give us something to look forward to something fun to invest our time and money into and the muscle car hobby keeps us out of trouble for the most part
