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