Has anyone else noticed the number of muscle cars lately? On my hill in downtown Seattle, I have seen, in the past two weeks:
- a blue 1970 351 Mach 1
- a gorgeous powder-blue Oldsmobile 442 (with a kid driving it who's got to be in high school, still)
- a silver Dodge Dart 440
- a red '67 El Camino
- a black '67 Stang in the process of restoration
- a pro-street God-Knows-What, black fastback with huge tires
- a pro-street Charger, red, with Mickeys and an insane cam
- a flat-black Dodge Charger with a rockabilly guy driving
- a red '68 Chevelle with tinted windows and a tech slip from SIR in the rear wing window
There were none of these cars around last year, at least that I'd seen. I've also been noticing more muscle on the roads around here. Is this the new thing? Replacing rice? Thumbing our noses at gas prices?
