The best view of all.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

You are doing 65 mph.  Put the phone down and grab the steering wheel! ;D
Just nuts.

65mph at only 2000 RPM? AND the temperature is showing stone cold.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Awesome view.  it's got to be a blast to drive with the tasteful mods you made. I put 16k miles on my convertible in 14 years of ownership.

Streak and smear. Lol.  Try a good coating of Rain X.  It saved me once before when I got caught in old red during a torrential downpour.
