Default Made my day

Today on my lunch break, I went to a local Kroger because I needed to get some Cheeze Whiz!!! Well as I am in front of the Kroger, a Mom and her little son and daughter were letting me go by. I could tell that the son was just astonished by my car. I circled around and left it in first gear and when I slowed down, I let it engine break. Engine breaking in 1st with 410s and LT's is just orgasmic. As I park, I'm like right across from them. I can see the son just staring and smiling. I gave it a little rev and his eyes light up like a freaking Christmas tree. I turned of my music and got out of the car. Figured I would say something inspirational.

Me: "You save your money now! Don't go buying a bunch of toys and you can save your money and get a nice car like this!"

Little Boy: "Oh, like Batman?!?!"

Me: "Yup, like the batmobile!

Made my freaking day guys!! Hope everyone's hump-day is going as well as mine!!

pretty much same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. going through the neighborhood and pull up to a stop sign, little boy and girl with their dad walking and the kids jump up and down "look daddy its the batmobile". Some times I think I want something newer that doesnt rattle and shake so much and doesnt leave you smelling like gas, but then I walk out to my car and think damn she is fu(&!n sexy..... I still want a vette though.lol

When I first got my 80 Trans Am a kid was standing in his front yard and waved so I hit the gas and he was so excited. It was a great feeling.

Cool story. When I had my car, I remember the neighborhood parents yell at their kids as soon as my car would start. "Get off the street"!

How do you confuse a 4th gen F-body with a 1955 Lincoln Futura?

How many times have kids been standing on the side of the road in a neighborhood and they give you the "spin em" signal with their hands? Happens to me all the time. The hear the train a coming! I love picking up my 12 year old daughter at her school and firing it up. All of the boys jump and then start smiling. It's a great feeling. Try that with a Honda!!!

Its all about the younger gen , we cant let them grow up and drive hybrids
My sons first ever race was when he was 6 riding passenger booster seat in a ws7 lined up against a ws6 on a 4 lane divided highway and we ran several times from dead stop and kick downs. I know he will never forget it. He also did his first "tire smoking" donut in said ws7 along with numerous burnouts and blackmark sessions. AWESOME, I wish I was my dad.
