Well I
am not sure if I figured it out the same as you did, but I do believe I found
what it has to do with Chevelles in my mind.
I
think it has everything to do with Chevelles. And a whole lot more! This country
was founded on and holds dear freedom above almost everything else. We have even
been known to spread a little around and fight for other's freedom while making
sure we maintained our own.
For
those of us growing up in the 60's the muscle car epitomized freedom. Especially
for the teen and returning serviceman from places like Viet Nam. It gave us
mobility and freedom to get around where we wanted and when. And did so in style
and a whole lot more.
It
also incorporated some of the best of American engineering and brought the most
powerful cars on earth to customers that couldn't get enough of them. For a
change they were being made because of what the customer wanted instead of
whatever the corporate board members liked themselves. Men like Delorean,
Iacocca, Duntov, and more had to fight to get the American Muscle Car into
production, only to be proven right by us and our free
choices.
Yesterday, Veteran's day, we thanked and remembered the military
person that helped to defend that freedom that made the Chevelle possible. Today
we are thankful for the military person that defends our freedom to remain a
free society and not allow others to impose their "religion" and ways upon
us. Surely, the freedom to do what we do with our Chevelles would be in
jeopardy at the very least without the American serviceman and woman.
May
we always have enough volunteers to defend our way of life. I served
my time and I know others here have as well. I know the tradition will continue.
I hope my great grandchildren inherit a life of freedom defended and
maintained by our ability to use our technology and power when necessary to
defend our freedoms and those of others. I hope to pass my Chevelle on down for
generations.
