Stangely enough, cars that are being made today have the same engine as ours (3 litre V6), cost twice as much, and don't go as fast! Then again, the car we have would DIE in any collision - it's only 1 ton after all. Still, it's fun to watch the expressions on peoples faces as we go zipping past them in the old 'box on wheels' while they have the new cars that are supposed to be fast...

I think it's Yucatan, Kaz, but I never won a metal for spelling.
You might see more scenery at 100 km/h.
Back in the days when cars had breaker points and carburators, Chrysler built an engine called a "slant six." It was an in-line overhead valve, engine that leaned to one side slightly. You couldn't wear one out. In those days the rule of thumb was that a 4 cylinder was good for about 60,000 miles without major work, a six was good for about 80,000 and a V8 could break 100,000. The old slant sixes often ran 120,000. They were 225 cubic inches, so not powerful, but they would last. My father had one that went 125,000 with terrible maintenance. The body was shot, but he sold it to a guy who wanted the engine!
Next time you hit the trail, come to Tennessee. We have great highways, beautiful scenery, and friendly people. And don't miss Georgia, if only to buy a tank of gas.
