    The one I'm living right now. I know how precious each day is and I enjoy each one like it's my last. Some ups and downs, of course, but for me, it doesn't get any better.

            I honestly cannot think of any better time to live than today, and be doing what I am doing. Since my car is an Escort, I get to do the same type of things a '60s rodder did, though in a different manner. I have the ability to communicate with the various people who know what they are doing through the internet. I can go fast, slow, I can road race drag race, and go all out at land speed events. I want to be me, in the present day, and just trying to go a little bit faster.

              Now this is a hard one. My first choice was hot rodding in the 30's and 40's or stock car racing in the 40's and early '50's. But I think I would really like to be in the pro rally scene back in the early '60's. I can imagine doing the Monte Carlo Rallye in a (real) Mini Cooper, a TR 4 with a hard top, a two stroke Saab, even a Mercedes or Peugeot sedan. Those were the days.....I think.

                        You should read the book about Mickey. Very good read.

                          I checked other. It's a toss up between Trans Am racing through the late 60's, or running AA/Fuel Altered.

                              would you rather be dale earnhardt or tim richmond in 1986 ?
                              did tim richmond sell his soul to the devil in 1986 ?
