Dead IROC

[MAckDaddyKid2003]

On the way home from work today Im driving my IROC through town minding my own business when a deer desides to take a good up close and personal look at the front of my car. Besides the ruined hood, bumber and lights there's deer **** all over my once perfect IROC. I guess I can finally get the custom hood i always wanted besides a new performance radiator.

Hey Tracy, I'm in Delafield - about 3 miles east of Oconomowoc on I-94. If you ever get out this way, shoot me an e-mail and we can meet up...


BTW, MackDaddyDude - That's one @&%% of a #%$&@ing car collection!

Thanks

Same goes for you... Anytime you're in Madison.... I actually live in Verona, just southwest of Madtown. My unkle stopped by today in his 1962 Ferrari GTO. He's quite the collector as well. I'm just a poor boy myself. I wish he hadn't sold the 2002 360 Modina he had, THAT was a sweet ride. The day he brought that one by I had to call God and tell him his car had arrived. Jeesh!

He's got a very early 60's Testerossa (1 of a hand full still around) and a newer Testerossa too. Plus some GT 60's ferrari racer, but I cannot recall the model. The GTO is the best. He's also owned a host of other cars in the past ranging from vettes and vipers to Porsche Turbos and his current truck, a H2. He seems to have settled on antique Ferraris now. He sure is fun to watch. The new house (castle) he is building has a room in it to park the GTO in. It has 2 fireplaces and a bar in it. He calls it "the man room" LOL.

Hey tabahr, have you ever heard the song "Red Barchetta" by Rush? You'd probably like it. It's about a Ferrari


My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...

Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.
