a guy on "Wrecks to Riches" just said "The Camaro is the quintessential muscle car". I don't think I'll ever watch this show again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had a 1976 Camaro Rally Sport that I loved and wish I still had. That was an awesome car.
But the quintessential muscle car? Mmm. Probably not. What do you consider the QMC, Laga?
Excuse me, I need to go check eBay Autos.

Until 20 minutes ago I would have said the Mustang but if Wikipedia is correct, pony cars are not muscle cars. I always thought pony cars were a subset of muscle cars but if not I gotta go with the GTO.
Also I'd heard of the Rocket 88 a million times but I never knew that many people considered it to be the first muscle car or how darling it was!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Lots of folks worship Camaros, Laga. They have suddenly become iconic for some reason.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to think so too. Apparently there is one Mustang year/model that some consider a muscle car, but that's it.
Of course I'm more into old luxury cars than muscle cars.

Muscle...cars. (Oh, I'm not so clueless as to be totally ignorant, but...) This odd fetishizing of cars just confuses me.

A while back the NYT had an article on gay men who are into old cars. Apparently gay men tend to be into old luxury cars with lots of chrome and fancy accessories. It's weird, as I'd totally fit in with those kind of old car collectors.

Maybe it's the Dead Milkmen song "Bitchin' Camaro" that makes me think they're laughable.
I'm not sure why I love muscle cars so much but honestly I get a warm feeling just hearing the words "muscle" and "car" together. Growing up we never had one. The coolest car we had was an MG Midget but my parents sold it before I could form memories of it. I did ride on the floor at my mom's feet when I was an infant. Maybe the engine's purr is in my blood.

I do love the sound of a big old American V8 firing up....

If you could have any car, money and mechanical needs being no object, what would you drive?
