Loved this as a kid, it’s not so funny on this side of life!
Sure looking forward to the weekend, how about you, Connie?
I've been working steady mostly 70 hour weeks forever it seems. We just bumped another 30% onto a contract so will be at least another 5+ weeks. Probably more because of doing some local stuff a few days here and there. Those are a welcome break from the 740 or so mile round trips into Texas and New Mexico. As good as it is for us I pray for drought breaking rains for our southern neighbors.
I should clarify my choice of music. It is not really a car song but many years ago I was a steel hauler in the oil patch and the 'large car' I drove was a big ole red W900 KW. Had all the rigging on the back, jin poles, two winches chains boomers...but what made it stand out was the custom made bug deflector on the front end. In stylish script of contrasting color were the words 'The Breeze'. The old truck made it seem easy, the largest load I remember with it was approx. 25 feet wide, 17 feet high and 180 feet long weighing ? 250 thousand pounds. Yes it had rear steering.
(((Hugs))) to you Kathy. I hope your spring returns to normal and all else is as God intends.
WOW, that’s a big haul!
Supposed to have a bit of snow the next 3 days. We passed a new records weeks ago. Running out of places to put snow from the driveway.
((HUGS))
Thanks, unique, for the happy dudes.
Arrowhead.....#300!!
Oh sooooo much needing this weekend Jinx!
I heard him on a talk radio car show with Jeff Brooks years ago telling the story of the song. This was in the late 90’s. Said he still had the car
Just finished reading Hooked on my iPad. It ended too soon. I wanted more.
Awaiting the next.
Have a nice, if rainy, weekend.
“Panama” is about a car that Roth saw race in Las Vegas; its name was “Panama Express”.
Thank you for your selection U-238! *Hugs*
Just a “hi” to you because I’m never here!
I’m a day late kathy but I’ve always liked American Pie. Probably many others did too. I don’t like many ‘car’ songs, they seem more ‘made for the guys’.
Thanks so much Kathy!
OH WHAT GREAT FUN! Thanks so much for the drive down memory lane, Kathy.:)
There was that song about “the little Nash rambler” that was fun. Hot Rod Lincoln is the grandaddy, though.
“Freeway Jam” by Jeff Beck
BTW, I thought "Summer in the City" was a convertible-riding song, but when I looked up the lyrics, it said "Hot town", not "Top down". LOL!!
