She says it was a long time ago.
She says it was nothing special.
And "I'M SUPPOSED TO BELEIVE HER???"
I was flipping channels this afternoon and came across a Speedvision
show about the Dodge Daytonna and Plymouth Superbird. As most children
of the 60's will attest, the end of the decade with it's Muscle car era
was a golden time for any pre-*** wanting to drive. The '69 Boss 302
Fastback Mustang, the Camaro, the 'Cuda and....the Superbirds. It was
a magical time. But since I grew up in a very small town, I never got
to see many muscle cars up close. I honestly got to see a 'Bird only
once on the road. We were traveling to Montana or Yellowstone and I was
up top in the camper. Suddenly we came around a bend and it flew
by...Brilliant Lime Green with black-painted headlight covers. The
Wing, the Snout...I talked about it for days...and...as you can tell,
never forgot it.
So here I am watching the show, My wife comes in and I immeadiately
start bugging her about the AeroCars. She hates cars in general and
racing in paticular so any chance I get I start a racing related
conversation, just to bug her. Well today, she paid me back....in
spades.
"Look at the Wing!" I spouted...
"Oh yeah, kinda like the one I rode in when I was 14."
"WHAT??"
"It was some Ugly Orange color with a black stripe around the trunk."
"That would be the Daytona!" I says...
"Whatever, it was nice and loud with lots of performance stuff, but
the guy was kinda wierd, we did a lot of kissing and that was it.."
"AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?????"
"What? About kissing a guy 25 years ago?"
NO! That you actually RODE in a Daytona...I can't beleive it. Ya
think ya know someone and then,,,then they drop a bombshell like that on
ya......"
I've spent the rest of the night all wierded out. I don't know how to
deal with this...
