Cleats by Bill Hinds for August 10, 2024

I was sure, when I was Jack’s age and fingering my favorite Hot Wheels, that I wanted to drive a gold lame finish McLaren when I grew up.

That’s interesting… when I was a kid I liked sports too. If you look at my picture you’ll see the 1972 MGB I purchase in 1972. Before that I owned a 1967 Mustang.

Jack doesn’t care about gas prices, just as long as the car makes him look super fly.

“What’s the price of the thing?” “Who cares?”

Probably gets around eight gallons per mile.

I’d like something more practical, like a Mustang GT with 470 horsepower. And the best part, even parked, it looks illegal.

My Mazerati does 185 – lost my license; now I don’t drive…

Why did they think he’d say anything different?

He should do more reading. There are electric cars that can beat that 0 – 60 time right now. Who knows how quick they’ll be by the time he grows up.
