This is like Chuck Norris saying that wireless power meters (they send the data electronically to the power company, as opposed to having someone go check them out) would make our lives miserable. (Chuck Norris actually did write an article stating as such)

This continent? Do you really have to ask? Of course, I'd drive almost anything across the U.S. given the time and money.

As much as I'd like to see a car without any electronic nannies, government regulations demand that traction control and electronic stability management be equipped on all vehicles. Sure, you can turn them off on the more sporting vehicles, or program them out, but still, it's more electronics to worry about.

Looks like he could have used some pace notes.

I'm 6'1". Sure, my '65 Mustang puts my legs out of position when I use the brakes, but that can be fixed with a tilt column. My knees have never touched the dash. In my '94, my legs don't hit the dash. That's because I adjusted the seat. Lots of room for me, and my passengers just sit sideways in the back seat. My…

Amending my previous comment: There is no rally pac. Saw the steering wheel spoke dividing the gauge cluster, thought it was a rally pac. Nope. A close look does show the long speedometer and warning lights, though, confirming that it is a 1965 gauge cluster.

Yeah, I was never too fond of it myself. I'd probably just replace it with one of those billet grilles.

Well, this is kinda where all my knowledge is concentrated. It gets a bit fuzzy after 1970.

I'm seeing a Warning Light gauge cluster (3 gauge with sweeping speedo), and a Rally Pac, not a 5-gauge. Also, those are definitely 65 fender moldings. Pictured are the 1966 "ornaments."

This is a 1965 289 with the GT Appearance package. The hubcaps, fender moldings, grille, and instrument cluster all indicate 1965. The warning lights seen in the gauge cluster are indicative of the 3-gauge cluster found on the 1964.5-1965 model years. The grille has the "Corral" mounted to the top and bottom, while…

Yep. The 5 gauge cluster was part of the GT Appearance package. Also, the fender molding on the "scoop" is distinctively 1965. In 1966, the molding had three long bars coming off of it towards the door. In addition, 1965 Mustangs had a hexagonal grille pattern, while the 1966 had horizontal slats.

Just to let you know, it looks like the top floor is off limits to non-permit parkers. the lower floors are pay parking

Duggans is also insanely busy. Had dinner there last night, and it was a half hour wait for a table. Also, the parking lot was full.

I can talk to a few friends of mine, see if they'll join as well. I'm gonna be there around 8am or so.

Suppose that could work

I'll definitely be going. Not sure where the best spot to meet will be, but I'm showing up damn early.

How could I forget about that? Rock walls on either side of incredibly narrow streets with motorcycles travelling at 160 mph...

How is Pikes Peak different than, say, Baja, or Dakar? Drivers have died in both those series. What they lack in cliffs they make up for in opportunities. However, in Pikes Peak, you know the course beforehand through practice runs, or at least you're supposed to, as this article states. There have been similar…

Can we mod said car until we reach 10K? Because I know of Mustangs that will slaughter the course for under $10 grand total.

That'll be great, until Google Navigator takes you through the ghetto. "Where's my 'Avoid Ghetto' option!?"
