OK, Harreras, NOW you're turnin' my crank.
"You think you hate it now, just wait until you drive it."
Max, please review this entry for another thread prize.
OMG. The Wallymobile lives. LOL, gator.
I agree. It makes my Top Ten List but not sure if it wins the thread prize. That one still goes to Post 61.
And thanks to everyone here for lifting my spirits. MUCH appreciated.
And now we've got gator's contraption on our hands....
That's a VERY famous Safeway!
Isn't that where they started, "Singles Night @ Safeway"?
My Dear, THAT is what we are here for!
I came to FR to counter the non-stop libby abuse I get here in the Land of Fruits and Nuts. I found a refuge where I can never be too conservative. And... then, I found out that we can be conservative and fun at the same time!
Bless you all - you are my Christmas Present this year!
You lost me on that one. Help.
It was 80s-ish. If I recall correctly, spoked wheels. We sold it before I even touched it. :-( But I do have pics of it...somewhere.
My pappy said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin' ...
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!'
Well, you've heard the story of the hot rod race,
When the Ford and the Mercury were settin' the pace.
That story's true I'm here to say,
Cause I was a'drivin' that Model A.
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up;
That Model A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got 12 cylinders and uses them all;
And an overdrive that just won't stall.
It's got a 4-barrel carb and dual exhausts,
4:11 gears that really get lost -
Safety tubes and I'm not scared,
The brakes are good and the tires are fair.
We left San Pedro late one night;
The moon and the stars were shinin' bright.
We were drivin' up Grapevine Hill,
Passin' cars like they were standin' still.
Then, all of a sudden, in the wink of an eye,
a Cadillac sedan passed us by.
The remark was made, "That's the car for me."
But, by then, the taillights wuz all you could see.
Well, the fellers ribbed me for bein' behind,
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind.
Took my foot off the gas and, man alive,
I shoved it down into overdrive.
Well, I wound it up to 110;
Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.
Had my foot glued right to the floor;
I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more."
Now the fellas thought I'd lost all sense;
The telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down, I see spots."
The lines on the road just looked like dots.
Went around a corner and passed a truck;
I crossed my fingers just for luck -
The fenders clickin' the guard rail post;
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.
Smoke was rollin' outta the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him and hoped I could pass
But when I did I'd be short on gas.
There were flames comin' from out of the side;
You could feel the tension; man, what a ride.
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by.
All of a sudden a rod started knockin';
Down in the depths she started a rockin'.
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.
Well they arrested me and put me in jail.
I called my pop to make my bail.
He said, "Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin',
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"
Take a gander at post #183...if you dare.
MUUUAAAAAH, Fredhead. Just muuuuaaaaaahhh!
