A Corvette Christmas







‘Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage
There wasn't a trace of a Ford or a Dodge
The lights were all lit
So I figured I'd mess with the Vette for a bit

I popped the release and I lifted the hood
When a deep voice behind me said, "Looks pretty good".
Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick
And there by the workbench, stood good ol' Saint Nick!

We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say
Then he said "Don't suppose that you'd trade *that* for my sleigh?"
I replied, "No way, Santa" and started to grin,
"But if you've got the time we could go for a spin!"

His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
Turned into a smile and he said "Hey!, Let's go!! "
So as not to disturb all the neighbors retreat
We pushed the Vette quietly into the street

Then taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill
The sound that erupted took him by surprise
But he liked it a *lot* by the look in his eyes.

With Goodyears a 'cryin' and side pipes aglow,
We headed on out where the hot rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears....
With every up-shift as I went through the gears.

Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
So I backed off the gas and asked "You wanna drive?"
Ol Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys
When he walked past the headlights, he shook at the knees!

The small block exploded with side exhaust sound!
Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!
Power shift into second, again into third!
I sat there just watching, at a loss of a word.

Then I heard him exclaim, as we blasted from sight....
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT !!!"



Needless to say, the gifts were delivered much faster that year.



DRIVE SAFELY, and Merry Christmas!

Twas the night before XMAS and my wife wouldnt put out
I rolled out of bed and started to pout.
Went out to garage to sleep in the vette
turned on the tunes and heard some Joan Jett

Up on the roof i heard breaking glass
I ran out side and saw a big Torchred a$$

I saw this man with a bag in his hand
wondering what I got was it a CCA catch can?
He slid down the ole stack and fell to the floor.
I said hey there Santa its easier to use the door.

He laughed with a chuckle and said your right,
and told me the bag was full, its my lucky nite!

He reached inside and pulled out my letter
then gave me the first request, the LG header.
The second on my list if i do recall
was a new car cover to store in the fall.

I waited for more but Santas gettin slower
but out of the bag came my new Novi blower!!

I was a man in heaven with mods galore
i got everythign i wanted right there on the floor.

I was up all night installing my new toys
playing again like a little small boy

Awake form the noise the wife soon came down
I said hey look honey Santa was in town.

She said dont give me that you know its a lie
Your told old for santa now how much did you buy

I said no money was spent and you should be proud
now with these gifts the car will be loud

She still dont beleive all these were given to me
but i am sticking to this the story that they were free.

I do hope you all get mods under the tree for you
if not remember this tale it she might think its true!

 

Merry Christmas
