| I seem to remember the good old days, out till 3:00 | | | | apart, so Vern revs his engine, and the cuda revs his |
| AM every night, and the most important thing of all, | | | | engine, and the race was on, we chewed the cuda |
| was learning about American muscle the fun way, by | | | | up and spit it out, but the excitement hadn't even |
| experiencing it first hand. | | | | begun yet, one more totally amazing thing was going |
| I fell sorry for the kids of today who may never | | | | to happen before we'd get back to our hang out on |
| understand the thrill of real American muscle; my first | | | | the side of the road. |
| learning experience was brought by way of a 1968 | | | | On the trek back to the hang out, of course we got |
| L88 corvette, my god what an awesome car. | | | | stopped by another traffic light, and Vern being the |
| My best friend at the time had just bought a used | | | | man he was decided that he needed to really see |
| one, and it was around 3:00 AM in the morning, I was | | | | what the car would do, the light turned green, and |
| standing on the main drag with all my friends, and | | | | Vern eased off the clutch and the car started to roll, |
| who pulls up, but Vern in his new L88 corvette, I | | | | and the he dropped the hammer, shoved the pedal |
| was leaning against my 1969 Z/28 which by all rights | | | | through the floor, the car immediately started to do |
| was a very mean car, but next to the L88 corvette, | | | | 360's in the middle of the main drag, the first thought |
| it looked like a dog. | | | | through my head, was we're going to die, it's all over. |
| I got in the corvette to go for a ride, my first ride in | | | | It sent chills through my body, as he shifted through |
| a corvette ever, and learned very fast what that car | | | | the first three gears before pulling the car out of the |
| was all about, we pulled out on to the main drag, and | | | | mad spin and back to the straight and narrow, and it |
| right next to us was another friend of mine is his 426 | | | | saddens me to think that the new generation of hot |
| Hemi coda, and as unwise as it seemed to me at the | | | | rodders will never have an experience like that to tell |
| time Vern decides to have a friendly race against him. | | | | their children, yet I still hear all the time how much |
| We pulled up to a red traffic light, in the small town | | | | better those new cars are "HUH". |
| that we lived in, and the lights were exactly 1/4 mile | | | | |
