Yeah....... Thinking before acting.......yeaaahhhhhhh.......
So, I just got The Chicken back on the road last week, after being off since last December. So, I've got some time to make up.
Last Saturday night My wife & I do Home Depot (got a bunch of wood all over the inside of the car) and then the 24 hour Walmart. It's about 12:30 or so and I decide to go through town instead of straight home. I come up to a light to turn left and a 3rd gen is already there.... the light is already green to go left so I round the corner on his outside (two lanes to turn left) and gently run past him. He pops back up to my side and they grin at us, he gives it a little pop... I just hang behind his quarter for about a quarter mile.
I certainly wasn't going to race in town ...... however, I just can't stand it .... I MUST do something ..... Just a bit before it narrows to one lane, I HAMMER 1st gear and pass him (The Chicken is VERY loud when I hammer it)..... just for about 100-200 feet .... not to race or say I won, or anything ... just to show how fast I was and how LOUD I was.....
look in the mirror and see blues......... right behind me
I gently pull over on a side street.... he comes up....
"So , what was that all about....?"
Ummm....well...... stupid .... just got it back on the road .... ummm...????
"Who's that with you...?"
My wife....
"Where you been tonight?"
Home Depot & WalMart.
So he takes my stuff and I was relieved when he returned in like one minute (always a good sign). "Now, I don't need to make a long speech, do I?"
Oh..... NO SIR!
(I already got the speech .... from my wife....)
