You're welcome Tom.

Steppenwolf... I remember my aunt and uncle sneaking me into “Easy Rider” at the drive-in on the floorboard of my uncle’s new Chevy 4X4 PU. This was 1972 (1973 body style truck) and the movie had been out a few years of course. I was seven and my aunt had my eyes covered through most of the movie. Damn Hippies! LOL! In late 1971 he bought a new 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda 440, auto, purple with the white top, stripes interior and a set of rally wheels. He set me on his lap and let me drive it. That was the first time I ever drove a car over 70mph. My dad had let me drive before but only a real low speed, because he was saner, maybe? In 1977 my uncle bought a new 400, 4-spd black and gold TA. Man was that cool riding around in with “Smokey and the Bandit” out. It didn’t have T-tops though.
