Drive faster, it looks like he's still ahead by a nose.

The car looks great.

He has an advantage on me....he has TWO engines...I only have one.

Yup, two Pratt & Whitneys, built on a handshake. Those were the glory days of aviation.....

Main Propulsion: 2 Pratt and Whitney J-58 axial-flow turbojets with afterburners
Take-off Thrust: 32,500 lbs. each engine (65000 lbs. total)
Maximum Speed: Mach 3.5 (2,500 mph)
Maximum Altitude: 100,000+ ft.
Range: 2,500 miles+ without refueling; intercontinental with refueling

That was one heck of an airplane. Too bad they were all decommissioned. Except for one or two that I think NASA still has.

Hey TEX JIM... YOU have tinted windows... does it affect your NAV? owners manual says it might affect the GPS.

Does not affect the GPS at all.
I "THINK" that the GPS antenna is under the passengers side of the dash... but don't quote me on that.

REMEMBER...do not get ANY tint that has METALLIC content in it. It could cause a problem, not only with the GPS, but with the rear window defroster.

I really like the dark tint, especially here in Texas where it is routinely well over 100 all summer long.

The BACK window is limo tint..the side windows are lighter but still, MUCH darker than factory tint.
The only slight problem, is backing up at night.
The dark tint makes it hard to see what is behind you.
