As a young teenager thrilled with cars, I was spellbound when my best friend's oldest brother showed us how to tune the carburator of his father's car. And after, when Dennis took Darrel and me for a ride in that 59 Chevy, he proved to us, indeed, he could get it to go over 100 mph! Holding on to the bottom of that back seat as hard as I could, I tecognized the passion that I shared with my new hero, Dennis.
