My very 1st "ride" was back in the mid 70's and my father was friends with a guy that had one. He came by my parents house and told me to hop in. The 1st thing I did was burn my calf on the sidepipe, so we were off to a rocky start! Then he drove out of the driveway and down our street (with my buddies in awe of me....) and all of a sudden......I was "bitten".
.......Fast forward 30 years and a buddy of mine that runs a "Specialty" car dealership in town got a used SPF in on trade (for a Viper GTS.....what was he thinkin'!), and he called me up. It was a solid Black car built in 2000 with a 408 stroker built by Comp. Motorsports (now Perf. Engineering) with 500HP. I went over to his shop and took it out for a drive that I (along with people on the road) will never forget......including the guy in the Z-06 that I dreadfully embarrassed in front of his girlfriend (hey, HE'S the one that wanted to play - not me!). After that day, I knew I had to have one.
My next drive was with Dean @ Dynamic Motorsports in the same white 351 car that Mr. Blykins drove. It took me a year, and selling off a couple "other cars", to finally get one of my own.
........Once "Bitten", there's NO turning back!
