Is that an oxygen bottle next to him? Incase of a fire I assume.
Co2
It is used for things like air assist on the clutch and brakes....possibly chute deployment (probably in fact).

That thing most likely has a 3-4 disc clutch and no way it is going to make enough vacuum for power brakes.
So.....Co2 pressurized system.

The fire suppression bottles are almost always red due to SFI regs.
Co2 bottles are grey...

 
It's all about perspective. Compared to the cars of the day they were quick. It's like comparing a ww1 bi- plane to an f-16. Time marches on. Today's thrill is tomorrow's norm.

A ‘70 Cheville SS will turn my head faster than just about any other car.

Yesterday, I saw a guy run a Ferrari (296, I think) through the car wash. I would never run a 70 Chevelle through a car wash.
 
Fast is indeed relevant. You have to remember they had crappy brakes, crappy suspension and so so steering. Trust me, if you’ve never gone over 100mph in a car from the 50’s, it can be down right terrifying. Comparing it to doing it in a modern car today is like comparing an elevator ride to going in an atlas rocket.

This is true. I drove a ‘66 Mustang in high school. I opened it up one time, and just glanced down once to see I had speedometer pegged at 140 MPH. I couldn’t spend much time looking at the speedo, because it was all I could do to keep the damn thing on the road.

Sometimes I’m very surprised any males from the 40’s-60’s survived past age 25.
(69 Mustang @126 for me)
 
Agreed, those oldies had some power but forget turning or stopping. I put disk brakes and heavy sway bars on the Chevelle which helped drivability a ton. Still had trouble getting that 396 to hook up even with big 295s in the rear. It must have had 4.11 gears because it turned 2000rpm at 50mph in 4th gear. Super fun to drive in a straight line. Shouda replaced steering with rack and pinion. I put her on the 1/8 mile track a few times and ran in the mid 7s so not fast compared to modern muscle.

@Dirty D tells me all the time. it's not the looks, it's the personality.
Side note - this chick was MADE for doggy style :rolleyes:

Not when the job is "customer facing..." (i.e. employee deals directly with end user customers). I came along on Wall St. right at the time when the transition to "casual" attire was just starting. At first, everyone (not just "customer facing" employees but everyone) had to be in full business dress. I recall going for my first interview with HR in a pair of grey dress slacks. a white dress shirt with tie and a blue blazer. Insufficient! The recruiter told be point blank, "you need to be in a Suit!" I came back for 2 more interviews and certainly never made that mistake again! Over tme, we adopted "business casual Fridays" etc. (dress shirt and slacks but tie optional, or a polo shirt). Eventually, the IT staff were able to wear business casual all 5 days per week, especially those who were moved to the IT campus in NJ and did not interact much in NY. That said, if you expected to be "customer facing" for your job or you might be interviewed by the press, etc., you were expected to be in Business Dress for that. And anyone at a higher management level should automatically assume they'd be subject to press interviews, so Busienss dress for them always.

Unless the employee's customers are all "ink" artists, themselves, I think the employee would be in for a tough road in getting this job.

"Look, fat, get off my plane!": Who could forget this classic line from President Harrison Ford?

"Yesterday, December 47th, a day that will live in infamanarathgary, America was attacked by the air and naval forces of the Empire of Mexico.": Franklin D. Roosevelt with one of the nation's most somber messages.

"Ask not what your country can do for you… ask… ask what… ask not what you can do for… ask things.": John F. Kennedy with an inspiring word from a golden era of history.

"That depends on what the definition of 'start quote' is 'end quote' is.": Bill Clinton got himself out of hot water with this shrewd observation.

"Read my lips. No... new... hotel junk fees!": George H.W. Bush telling us all how to be prudent.

"Speak softly and carry...ah...well, anyway.": The encapsulation of Teddy Roosevelt's foreign policy that has guided us for decades.

"The only thing we have to fear is... pause.": No wonder FDR got himself elected an unprecedented four times.
