Hot Rod's

My son's firs hot rod was a 1969 Pontiac Firebird.  What a car!!  It had a 454 with four barrel carb.  All high performance parts!  Would pass everything on the road but a gas station!  It was a money eating thing, but he loved it.  If he and one of his friends were going to town for the evening they went in his buddy's truck.  If somebody went to talking trash, they would come home and get the Bird.  I always told him not to race for free!  It cost money to fix what you break and I don't pay for your racing.  That old car taught him more than one lesson in life.  Taught him one about watching who you out run for fun.  It could just be an off duty policeman who is the dad of the girl you're flirting with.  Yep, get you a ticket the next time he sees you in town.  They grow up way to fast!  I'd like to listening for that old Bird to be pulling back in the driveway.
