Pound down a 6 pack of bud ice and go street race a couple mustangs, it will make you feel like you are 16!

Especially if you get busted by the cops, they may even make you feel like you were 12

Nice vid! I would think twice about getting rid of the car. Put it away for a couple of months and see how you miss it. Keep it a driver and enjoy it. It 's a real nice car that they don't make anymore.

Could be, I dont know what a Grass Valley switcher is though Ham radio friend of mine works at one of the local TV stations and thats the satellite feed control room, thought it made a cute intro.

I never dyno the car so I cant say really, but 3300 lbs @ 138mph is around 580rwhp according to the calculators.

Its a somewhat popular bootleg from the Lonestar Roadhouse in NY, 4/26/93, it was a rehersal before their 25th anniversary tour. I'm not a huge Tull fan but I collect bootlegs
