See You Down The Road

After many years serving the classic car community, Wisconsin Collector Car will be shutting down at the end of 2024. Thank you for all of the car show memories!

    You guys are cold, this poor woman has two kids.. To top that she has been oppressed for at least a couple hundred years.. I didn’t think she looked that old. On the other hand the poor thing never thought of how she was going to take care of those kids while she was making them. The new health care package should help her get housing, and a new car.. :laugh:

    According to Wikipedia!

    Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles.[1][2] At its most widely accepted the term refers to American 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s equipped with large, powerful V8s and sold at an affordable price for street use and drag racing, formally and informally. :woohoo:

    According to the June 1967 issue of Road Test magazine, a “muscle car” is “Exactly what the name implies. It is a product of the American car industry adhering to the hot rodder’s philosophy of taking a small car and putting a BIG engine in it […] The Muscle Car is Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face of the 98 hp (73 kW) weakling.”[7] Author of the book Muscle Cars the quote is drawn from, Peter Henshaw, furthers that the muscle car was designed for straight-line speed, and did not have the “sophisticated chassis”, “engineering integrity” or “lithe appearance” of European high-performance cars[7]
    However, opinions vary as to whether high-performance full-size cars, compacts, and pony cars qualify as muscle cars.[8]

    And there you have it.. B)

    Interesting wonder if Chevelles and Camaros get their own class too? If your going to do for one car do it for all..I don’t think that is a good idea…

    in reply to: Which do you like better – car show or swap meet? #36171

    Participant

    I like big national shows like Goodguys or Back to the fifties. Give me 10,000 cars to look at. Swap meets seem to draw some rather different characters that I’m unsure of. Most swaps seem to be a place to dump all the crud from your garage. I have thrown out better things then I see at some swap meets. It is fun to go and look at the people, better then the Mall sometimes…

    No the State should continue paying.. I’ve been a state employee for 31 years. If people want to complain about state employees I tell them what’s the problem couldn’t you pass the test?
