‘Twas the night before Christmas, and in my garage…
OK - I know seeing this again may be tiresome to some, but I still get a kick outta it....
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and in my garage…
…there wasn't a trace of an Audi or Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit, So I figured I'd mess with my Corvette for a bit.
I popped the release and lifted the hood, When a deep voice behind me said "Hey! Looks pretty good." As you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, There by my workbench, stood good Ol’ Saint Nick!
We both just stared, not sure what to say, Then Santa piped in: “Like to trade that for my sleigh?’ “Forget it, Ol' Claus” and I started to grin.. “But if you have time, we could go for a spin!”
His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, burst into a smile when he said“Well come on, man - Let's GO!!" So as not to disturb all the neighbours' retreat, we pushed my old Sting Ray quietly onto the street.
Then taking our places to drift down the hill, I switched on the engine and let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted caught Santa’s surprise, but he liked it a LOT, by the look in his eyes.
With cold tires spinning and hot headers aglow, we drove on and out to roads only hot rodders know. Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears, with every shift up as I went through the gears.
The old man exclaimed "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!" So I backed off the gas and asked "Would YOU like to drive???" I think he was stunned when I gave him the keys… As he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!
That big block let out a deep exhaust sound, When Santa jammed on the power, the tires tore up the ground. Power shift into second, again into third! I grabbed for the handle, at loss for a word.
With the tank reaching empty, Santa returned for his sleigh, never to forget that ride in my ’65 Sting Ray
But I heard him exclaim, as he blasted from sight, "MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL, It’s been one heck of a night!"
