Holiday blast from the past

So how many here remember when I wrote this? It was back in 2000! Geez, 7 years since then, where does the time go.


Twas the Night Before X-mas

Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light.
Up pulled a rumbling V8, and no cops in sight.
I will try, I will try, with this 2 liter motor.
To beat this damn Lightning,
with it's vacuum-like blower.
As the light goes to green and I pull like no joke,
The Lightning erupts in a big cloud of smoke.
"Rev Smasher!, rev Twister!, rev Stroker!, rev Blitzin!."
I yelled to the names of my 4 VTEC Pistons.
Racing ahead, I'm the star of the action,
but I'm in deep ****, when that V8 gets traction.
As I grab second, the RPMs sing,
My mirror is blocked by my shopping cart wing.
I now hear the roar, of the big Eaton gaining.
All I can do is keep those 4 pistons straining.
In a second the shockwave hits with a blast,
My chinese stickers go flying, now a thing of the past.
Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate.
Looking up at the tail lights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler.
"You can't win em all" he says in a fling
"and you may not win any, in that silly thing!"
I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow... it will be a better night.
Then next night we meet, once again on the road,
My new coffee-can exhaust, blows steam in the cold.
I revved up agian, this time sure I would win,
But that damn Lightning kicked my ***, again.
The driver rolls down his window, at the end of the strip,
And yells "I just blew you away with my new PSP Chip!!"

Happy Holidays From Power Surge Performance

Good One Sal Merry Christmas to You & Lisa, Ralph and the Family

I miss You and PSP big time, we could really use a trust worthy L mechanic here in LI again But I'm sure the weather is a hell of a lot better where you are (Thumbs Up) Although today is smoking and I've been out in the L all morning, must have left 500 ft of the Nitto's out there amof

Health Wealth and Happiness in 2008 to You...

I remember reading that a few years back; but, I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote it was out on Long Island though.



Merry Christmas, Sal! And all others reading this thread as well.
