PISTON HOUNDS CAR CLUB

    This page is obviously a works in progress.  Give us some insight.  Are the moon landings a hoax?  Should we have dropped Jane Fonda out of B-52 over Hanoi?  What about those scoially irresponsibel guys in Detroit who sold too much horsepower to too young of men?  And why did they leave the greatest automotive legacy on the planet...                          The American Muscle Car.

     Most people will tell you that the most expensive part of a car is the paint job.  We are the guys that say "the paint can wait".  We think a can Rust-Oleum will keep away the dreaded cancer until we can scratch together enough money to take her to the body shop.  We are the guys that walk through the speed shop and look at the shiny new cylinder heads and carbs and think about squeezing out a few more horses.  But the rent is due this week so we walk out with some some steel wool for the chrome so we don't leave empty handed.  We look through the magazines and think, "Damn that car is cherry" and wish ours looked just like it.  We think about what color we would make our car and scheme on ways to put a few bucks towards it.  It brings us down a bit, but all we have to do is look out the window at that slowly rusting hunk of American steel sitting in the driveway.  The thought of sliding behind the wheel, cranking her over, and listening to the motor roar to life is all we need to remember why we love that slowly rusting hunk of American steel.  That is why we love our cars and they don't have shiny paint jobs.

Here is some good 60s stuff
