Bullitts & GT500s

It was minus 30 Celcius here last week (which I now know is - 22 F). I was coming home from work on Hwy 2, in my work truck, when what passes me in the snow. A GT500! Red with white stripes. Not the most common vehicle to see in the snow. So I catch up and run the plate thinking it was stolen. Nope, out of Leduc, Alberta. In the last few years I had thought of buying one (where I was going to get the money, I don't know). I kept hinting/asking the salesman about how possible it would be to drive in the snow. He thought I was nuts. Guess I'm not the only nut. A few days later I came up behind a Bullitt. It made me think about where these cars will be in a few years, and if in thirty, whether they'll be barn finds? Hope I live long enough to find out. Then I can tell my grandkids, who I know will be fanactical about cars (like me - wishful thinking), all about the muscle car revival. Not much to report on the SSP/B4C front other than I'm thinking of selling the B4C again. Old Timers Motorcross is calling and I need cash for a bike. Till later.
