All three of those Chevelles pictured in my post are extremely well known....including multiple feature coverage in a few national car magazines.

When I come down the street in one of the cars, all the kids that are out playing RUN to my driveway. They always get a smoke show.
I need to go for a ride in that Nomad Tony. I remember the first time I saw it at Frankenmuth..what shocked me the most was that you took it to go get the BBQ. You just threw it in the back end. That was when I realized that you were really a cool guy who enjoyed his cars.

Well,thank ya. The dogs really like to go for rides in it. Only thing is, the male Shepard makes me power-shift it all the time. He likes that.

Man, that can get quite expensive Ric. Hopefully I won't have to do that.

That last burn out I tried to do on the street I shot the driveshaft out the back of the car. (that was a little embarrassing.) I don't rev it up and dump the clutch anymore. Luckily, I don't have to. I just let the clutch out easy now, get 'im rolling, then hammer on it. The back wheels spin up just fine. ...and without all the shock to the driveline. Gotta love the torque of a big block!

That was the long answer. The short answer is YES! I still lay some down from time to time!

I still do some, but not as many now that I buy expensive tires.
