Still tryin' to figure out how to be the man I wanna be, with the help of some good friends.
Workin' hard.
Playin' hard.
Who the hell...

Just a kid, stuck in the body of this fat bastard...
Still tryin' to figure out how to be the man I wanna be, with the help of some good friends.

Aha, shades of the Original Blues Brothers-movie!
You know, Dan Akroyd still has the original '74 Dodge "Bluesmobile". Last I heard, it was in one of his brothers-in-laws' collections???
Yep. That's cool. I see guys drivin' old cop cars around here now and then, and think of that movie. I wonder if they take out the cool cop gear before they sell them? Black folks love to take those old Fords and trick 'em out. repaint 'em and put HUGE friggin' tires on 'em.
I don't know about the "new" computerized models, after carbs---but the old, pre-'80's models were sold with the spotlight(s) intact, the suspension unaltered, and the engine tuned-DOWN, with a "civilian" distributor, and a restrictor-plate on the intake, a la NASCAR. They'd use those funky-lookin' five-sided bolts, so's ya' couldn't get a wrench on 'em, to change-out the plate.
(Nothin' a nice, smooth-runnin' drill, an' a good-quality set of "easy-outs" couldn't fix, though!)
But, damn, they'd eat the gas afterwards!
I'm sure the newer ones, with the on-board computer-injection, have a chip or two that's been changed---especially in the airflow-sensors---so as to "dull-down" the horsepower...!
Of course. Cops can't let us little folks have too much fun. I've got a good buddy who was a cop in San Antonio back in the 70s (and MP in Nam in the early 70s). He tells some hilarious stories.
