I was just talking about racing as a metaphor within American culture... here's a song on the themes of freedom/submission, belonging/alienation, and sin/promiseland in this song yesterday in class. One of Springsteen's best ballads from the album [i]Darkness on the Edge of Town[i]--a live performance of in the year it was released, before a New Jersey audience in a small theater in Passaic. Listen for the audience response. The song is like an anthem to these dudes.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
