Same color combination as my first Cutlass in high school.

I did that exact same driving class at Bondourant, but in a Hellcat.

Except for the speedo shots having been taken inside a '69 or '70 Dodge Charger, very cool....

I saw that wasn’t a factory Cutlass speedo.

For me, that helps reinforce the 1 car length/each 10mph driving gap (or 1 second/each 10mph), leaves plenty of room for reaction/avoidance/stopping, especially in old cars. Newer cars mostly have superior avoidance capability but I still generally adhere to it.

Exactly how I learned to drive. Hands at 10 o'clock & 2 o'clock, one vehicle separation for every 10 mph. I still abide by this strategy today.

Look at the cars in the background. I believe one is a red car with the W30 stripe.
