Yesterday the hot rod power tour 2017 went right down our street

They rolled by pretty much all day. Many older cars especially from the 50s and 60s.

We watched for about 45 minutes. It got hot and there was no air moving cranking into the 90s.
And I remembered why I hate those old cars. I started getting nauseous from the gas fumes. Even got a little high.

We got away and went off the beaten path to get some food. That helped bring be back down. When we got home the fumes lingered.
Last night I had what felt like a hangover and I haven't touched a drop in 3 decades.

When I hear people talking about the good old days and their '57 Chevys, I say give me my hybrid with 50 mpg and breathable air.
