Back in the early 70s my friends Granny Smith gave him her white 4 door 61 Caddy. It was the shorter 4 door though. Absolutely the sweetest ride around back then. The air was icy cold, the power brakes would put you through the wind shield. Remember the car wasn’t that old back then. It was a cream puff! We used to cruise a lot in the ol girl. One time it was a rainy late afternoon we were cruising slow through the foothills of Altadena and either KLOS or KMET was playing, Riders On The Storm. I’m sure we had a spleef buzz going on. It was one of those perfect moments.

This car checks all the right boxes for someone who's GENUINELY enthusiastic about cars. It's really all about the experience. Not carbon fiber, not turbos, not awd, not extreme G's in the corners. This is why I say Musto gets cars. I think he's having a hard time telling people and conveying to people how awesome these things are because realistically. You're only watching a video. But when I watched this I smell the exhaust, the ground shaking beneath my feet, and the massive amount of torque that car uses to get down the road. Cars are visceral. They appeal to the senses and I think Willy REALLY gets that. It doesn't have to be the fastest thing in the world to be more satisfying.

***** What does that have to do with the car? Seriously!?!?!?! What does that have to do with his outlook on cars? It sounds to me like you're just looking to smear the dude, not only that I have no clue why he's a registered sex offender and I really don't care. If he's served his time and served his debt to society why are we bringing it up? Did you see him rape another child? Do you KNOW he did anything to the first child that got him registered? Why are you even bringing this up? There's plenty of child molesters that aren't registered sex offenders because they haven't been caught. Jared is a great example of that. Demonizing this dude for doing whatever he did in a system where you can be registered as a sex offender for claims with no evidence and using that to demonize people is a JOKE!! It makes you look not only stupid but ingorant as fuck to the reality of the world men live in.

I love the '61 Caddy! The only thing I don't like is the hardtop roof profile. They raised it a couple inches higher than the '60 model, so it makes it look a little gawky. I bought a '61 Caddy convertible back in '99. That baby looked sharp with the top down! When the ragtop was up, it still had a nice, lower profile than the hardtop.
