Not with a whimper, but a bang!
This is R.E.M.'s best song imo. A comment I found on youtube about the song: From Wikipedia "Losing My Religion" is about "someone who pines for someone else. It's unrequited love, what have you."[7] Stipe compared the song's theme to "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, saying, "It's just a classic obsession pop song. I've always felt the best kinds of songs are the ones where anybody can listen to it, put themselves in it and say, 'Yeah, that's me.'"
Pining away !
I just listened to the guys singing this song at what is obviously a much later point in time and the song sucks in comparison to the original version. Different lead singer changed the sound a lot. I didn't know it until today but the band members of this group changed about as regularly as most people change socks and underwear.
Man, that car sure brings back memories ! SS 396
My cousin had one of those and it was a hoss (375 horsepower iirc). I made a trip of about 18 miles on a very crooked road with it in 17 minutes if they were telling the truth (I wasn't looking at any watch, just driving). Wouldn't try to do it today but back then I was invincible (and dumb). Only reason I did it then was because my cousin had brought a couple of young girls up for a visit and one of their dad's said she had to be back home by dark. We got down to the county seat and the water pump went out on it so by the time we got one and got it in it was getting late. Bobby (my cousin) knew that I knew that road lots better than he did since I lived here and went down there regularly so he asked me to drive. And get back as soon as I could. I don't think those two girls opened their eyes on the way back, lol!
One of my buddies had one and it'd lift the front wheels off the ground !!!
I would dearly love to have one today if I could afford the gas, upkeep and insurance on it. Or a Hemi Cuda. I ain't hard to please, ahaha.
Testosterone out the ass !!!
Your luck knows no bounds! You can buy one, this one is going to the auction block soon. One of a kind too. "...The only 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda convertible sprayed in “Plum Crazy” (and one of two originally built for export to Canada) will cross the block at Barrett-Jackson’s upcoming Scottsdale auction, as part of its exclusive “Salon Collection” of premium automobiles. The car in question comes with the 426-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 engine, dual four-barrel carburetors, the 727 automatic transmission, the Super Track Pak option and a power convertible top." auction date: January 19, 2013 http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1079713_rare-1971-plymouth-hemi-cuda-convertible-heads-to-auction
Bet it brings $25K --- and it's a rebuilt total loss ! But it's nice !
I bet 25,000 won't even begin to touch what it will bring.

I know most of the cars go through that auction for real big money.
