Sleek, Black All chrome and Horsepower Sitting at a stoplight I look over and grin Come get some Changes to green And I let loose 700 horses grab The street And I scream I AM THE BULLGOD G-forces push me back, and its like sex Metallica Screams through the Speakers They understand 0 to 60 in a blink 16 year old in a Mustang hangs his head I laugh and rip rubber Again in third gear And hit the button Nitrous I hit a hard left Sliding onto my street Slow it down Kids play here And heart racing I park my minivan And go inside to see my girls [This message has been edited by Jason Lyle (03-17-2003 08:07 PM).] |

Who said James Thurber was dead??? lol Too many afternoons I have myself been driving that Cherry Red 64 1/2 Mustang and looked down to see the dash of my Cavelier. This gave me a laugh I had been needing for a couple of days. Thanks Millions. ~You might say I'm a Dreamer, but I'm not the only one... |

Oh, I do so know what you mean! I've done the same thing! With a spoiler on the back and 4-on-the-floor, I scream those tires and peel away in my new "4-cylinder" Pontiac Sunfire! Happy trails! Earth Angel |

Having once driven a hopped up 73 Plymouth Satellite with power and a cam that bumped like it had hips.... I KNOW WHAT YA MEAN!!! Love the poem, the ending cracked me up!  Once a cop pulled up to me at the traffic light while I was on my way to work. Billy Idol was blaring so loud I couldn't hear what he was yelling at me through the window - I turned the speaker down and he said... Nice Car! Turn down the music... its only 7:00 a.m. (hehehehehe) |

Jason, I love this...and that ending was so cute. My brother had a Mustang. That was a pretty little car. My late husband and I had a 87 SS MonteCarlo turbo-coupe (the kind they had to make a certain number of for Dale Earnhardt to race in Nascar with that year). It was black with a red pin stripe. I just sold it a few months ago and hated to get rid of that car. When it was new, I got my first two speeding tickets in it. That thing would run when it was new. LOL "Love makes the world go around" |

How about a '58 Del Ray Coupe? - just kidd'n - By the way, anybody know what I'm talking about? So rare, I haven't seen one since I sold mine. Think they all went to the crusher . . . w.g. |

Jason, you had me going here. I personally get into the muscle cars myself (And under their hoods) Mustangs are my favorite and I could imagine my self cruising in one and blowing the shorts off the other guy challenging me. You are such a chameleon with words! I laughed myself silly, you bad boy! |
