I was a car nut at the time, and still am., 23 December 1998
Author: Tom Chenevert (markviilin@aol.com) from Dunstable, Ma

I was about 14 when this show first aired and like most teenagers I used to like the cars and the car chases. My uncle had a 1955 Buick Century hardtop and I would pretend that it was a Highway Patrol Car. I saw a few poor copies lately and the production values were rough but I still wish I had some good copies of the shows. Too bad they are not on video.
