Me neither. With endurances races, I watch them, but I’m doing other things around the house while I have the tv on. I’ll watch it in passing or if I’m relaxed, I’ll doze off (off and on) throughout the race. They’re always showing highlights, so I seldom miss anything.

On the way home from breakfast this morning I saw what looked like a 69 COPO Camaro. If we wouldn’t have been on the freeway, I’d have stopped him and asked.

What kind of Camaro is that? Do you like the Cybertruck? I see those all the time around and in my area.

A COPO Camaro was an option you could get back in the day. In 1969, GM had a corporate mandate like all car companies have. Back then, GM’s mandate said that no intermediate car could be built with an engine larger than 400-ci (cubic inches). But certain dealerships like Don Yenko’s Chevrolet found a way around the mandate by dealer installing a 427 under the hood. They had been doing that to Chevrolet muscle cars since 1967. But individual buyers got wind of it and also found the loophole and started doing the same thing by filling out COPO (Central Office Production Order) paperwork. Then, they too could get a factory installed 427 put under the hood of their new Camaro, Chevelle, or Nova.

Nah. I don’t like EVs, man. Tesla’s Cybertruck looks like a doorstop. I think it’s a great utility, product like vehicle, but poorly styled. No thought put into the design at all, to me. If any of my advanced ID students put something like that on the wall, I’d tell them to rethink and rework the styling. I don’t like Elon Musk, either. As a result, once I do buy an EV, when I’m left no choice, it won’t be a Tesla.
