That's what I suspected. Friday as I was leaving work I was in a line of traffic at a stoplight. I had the windows down and could smell that someone ahead of me had something cool out for a cruise. As we turned onto Kellogg Avenue, I saw a 1968 or 69 Olds 442 two cars ahead of me. Looked like it was a grey green color and was nicely kept. I couldn't get within 100 feet or so because the car in front of me was puttering along, but the construction meant that he was in front of me all the way down to I-275. As I got on the ramp, traffic cleared, and I expected him to punch it, but he just cruised on out US 52.
