I guess we can all relate to this scene
This is what us hotrodders face on a regular basis. :rolleyes:
The night before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, and out in the shed
sat a tired ol Model Eh; Its battery near dead;
its hinges all rusted; its doors wouldn't close
The seats and carpets looked like Good Will clothes
Her tires had dry rot and the fuel tank was leaking
and a crank of the wheel sent the tie-rods a creaking.
So I threw on a coat with a weight in my heart;
and went out to the garage to give her a start.
The engine turned over, but there arose such a clatter;
I knew from that sound it was water pump chatter.
From under the dashboard there came a bright flash
the old cloth wrapped wiring had just turned to ash!!!!
I've had it with this ol A Bone I finally swore.
Enough is enough, I just can't take anymore.
When, what to my ol bloodshot red eyes should appear,
but a little old ghost (Hell I need a beer).
"Cheers" he said grinning from ear to ear,
"You need my help, see, I'm an ol hot rodder here!!!
"This one can be saved there's no need to grieve,
All you need is faith; Ya just gotta Believe"
A hammer. some duct tape, get me more tools!!!
When you work on these cars you just make your own rules,
We'll get'r cranked over and NO WAY will she stall,
but ya better stand back with your back to the wall."
A cough and a sputter- the exhaust note was stunning!!
I just couldn't believe the ol girl was running!!
The ghost winked, and said (kicking a tire),
"Whatever you do, JUST DON'T TOUCH THIS WIRE!!"
The old rodder vanished 'mongst the snorts and the farts,
but when the smoke cleared, he had left me some parts.
So I opened the garage door and put the top down,
put the pedal to the metal and drove outta town,
and I said to myself, as I missed second gear,
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
