Bullshit Filter Enabled

The 70's couldn't be beat, like Perry said. Cars, girls, music, and drugs! We were invincible. I won't list the cars I had but I'd give my eye teeth to have any one of them again. The times are gone, but the memories will last till our dying days.

Growing up in my dads shop I saw when the shift occurred. Up to about 1971 cars were “normal” then they went off the rails.

By 74 everything had massive bumpers and diminutive engines further choked by emission standards like “lean burn” and the glorious secondary air pump.

Ever count the number of front bumper bolts on a late 70’s Chevy nova?

That sounds about right. Looked like a battleship. Rode like one too.

Then there were those of us who played with MGBs and Datsun 510s in the corner of the shop where we built the SuperStock 'Cuda and Duster for bracket racing...

News sites….
Moving right along….

There is/was a cyclone up in north australia.
Ok the basic details like intensity/wind speed and what the locals could expect is important.
But 5 pages of garbage about climate and what not just shows how desperate the news people are to pump the fear out. Word Salad. Bullshit filter enabled.

Since we are bringing this thread back to the 70's, how about we each find a big storey that gets your juices flowing (no real juices were used in the making of this lame thread.... YET). Only choose 1 subject since the 70's was lacking important shit and we want enough to go around. There WOULD have been more and bigger headlines but most of yuse guys were busy punching computer cards instead of finding the cure for Cancer, ALS, or the Common Black Clap.

My 70's revisit is............
