Brian's Story
OK i saw this and wanted to share it with you
twas the night before Christmas
and in the garage the presents were wrapped and the light were still lit so i figured id mess with my Chevy a bit.
i popped the release and lifted the hood. when a deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good" well as you imagined i turned pretty quick and there at the workbench was good ol st.nick! he stared at first not sure what to say then finely he pipped up don't suppose you would trade.forget it Santa i said with a grin but if you have time let' give her a spin.his round little mouth all tied like a bow.burst into a smile and said cmon lets go! so not to disturb all my neighbor's retreat we took and pushed the old Chevy quietly into the street.then taking are place's to drift down the hill. i turned on the key and let the clutch spill.the sound erupted...Expand for more
and took Santa by surprise,but he liked it a lot by the look in his eyes.with cold tires spinning and header pipes aglow we headed on down to lower river road.and Santa's grin widened approaching his ears,with every shift up as i went through the gears.then he yelled "cant remember when I've felt so alive" so i backed off the gas and asked him to drive.ol santa was stunned as i gave him the key's as he walked round the headlights shaking at the knee's.then the big block exploded with side exhaust sound. Santa let out the clutch and tore up the ground.power shifted to second and again into third,i crabbed for the handle at a loss for words.with the tank reaching empty Santa returned to his sleigh. never to forget that ride in my 56 del ray. i heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight merry Christmas Brian it's been one hell of a night!
