i drove my 78 chevy truck 1 1/2 hours each way to work for a year. Granted a built 454, no overdrive and 3.73 gears made for 9 miles a gallon; it was all worth it when people tell you your nuts for dd'ing that kind of vehicle. BTW, i drove that mutha fukka like i stole it chirping the tires goin into 3rd on a automatic everyday
