It ran 14.40.Dave powered the gears like a pro.I was sold.He gave me a great deal and I couldn't get to the bank fast enough.
It seemed like an eternity before me and my dad went to pick it up.I remember I was shaking all the way there.We finalized the deal and I went to get in the car.My dad stopped me and said "I'll drive it home".Emoji When I first went to look for a car my dad said "and I don't want to see any Hot Rod or a fast car".Emoji When my dad saw the car for the first time,I couldn't believe he didn't realize it was fast.We drove to the highway and when we got on the on ramp my dad nailed it.The car put down 2 nice black stripes on the pavement and actually got a little out of shape.Oh sh"t.It's all over now.I was so close.I almost had it.I figured he was going to get off on the next exit and take it back to the dealer.Emoji
Surprisingly he didn't and we made it home.He didn't say a word and walked over to me and yelled "I told you nothing fast!"He kicked me in the ass and lifted me right off the ground  It gets better.Stay tuned.

Hey Zig,
Good to know you are still out there. I won't let Davey see this or his head will swell.
