Daytona is on a distinguished road
3? What're we allowing a bunch o' little kids on here now?

When I was 3, 'Nam was still going hot and heavy. Bell Bottoms and Tie Dyes were more than a weekend Greatful Dead Show fan fashion. Nixon was bugging the White House. Gas and cigarettes were still dirt cheap. Video games didn't exist. 8-track tape players were the premium option in car stereos. Broadway Joe and the Jets were the team to watch. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin both died (followed soon by Jim Morrison who's been playing dead for the past 30+ years for tax reasons). The only things the US imported from Japan in any decent number were a few toasters and the occassional Vietnamese wife for the returning GI. Olds really built rocket cars (442's, etc.). And the hottest custom car jobs involved paintings of vikings on the sides of vans (leaving room for the crescent moon bubble windows, of course) and blown big block MOPARS and Chevys with wide rear tires on Mag wheels extended several inches out from the fender walls.
