You could buy a 59 Bel Air with 7 different engines, including turbocharged. My favorite was the 348 Tri Power w/ 350 HP. That was huge back then and way more than the Corvette.59 over the 2009. Hands down.
No child car seats or seat belts or bike helmets. On vacation we walked country roads ARMED with .22's. We climbed high trees, and swam in lakes without lifeguards or boundary buoys. We stayed out past dark. It's a miracle I'm alive!
