A clip from my youth...



For some reason, I loved this show as a child, I remember being 4 or 5 years old, wanting to stay up that extra half-hour past my bedtime on Thursday nights just to watch it.

One time there was a car show a half-hour away from where we lived. My parents drove us there. It was the usual old classic cars being displayed, and then there it was... The General Lee, a 1969 Dodge Charger in all it's glory, fully decked out and painted just like the real thing.

My parents said I didn't leave the car's side for over an hour, supposedly I was just there starring at it in complete awe. This car was one of my first childhood idols, I clenched the velvet rope surrounding the vehicle, and just looked at it... forever.
