I was home from college, out with my younger brother (and a few of his friends, HS seniors) in his candy apple brown (primer) 1968 Mustang coupe with a Cleveland 351, stock all the way (other than the Bondo). We were out on the local strip and at every red light, he'd line up and just blow people away ... didn't matter what they had -- vette's, GTOs, whatever. Wasn't just the car, he really knew what he was doing. After each time, he'd look at me kinda sheeply and say "I don't normally drive like this."
To which I eventually replied, "When are you ever normal?"
hehehe
