What's your view like at work?

We're renting space in a hangar we're sharing with others until our new hangar is built. I get to see this everyday

It's a replica powered by a carbureted 351 Windsor. It hasn't been driven all winter and the owner is working on getting tuned up for the summer. Yes, the sidepipes are real!

Ever since I was a young teenager my plan was to build one when I could afford it. Later on I ended up becoming friends with a guy that owned an original 427 and a replica that he claimed was faster than the original. He had a buddy that owned an original GT40 and they'd terrorize the highways after midnight. He brought the replica to my shop one evening I was working late and let me drive it all around for a couple hours. That's when the adage "with absolute power comes absolute responsibility" hit home. I know there are faster cars, but I still haven't driven anything that fast or anywhere near as exhilarating as that was. I'd be a total idiot if I owned one of these. Just so damn badass
