LET ME BACK UP A LITTLE HERE. Lets
you take the pull down seat in the trunk section in this blue '79
Caprice Station Wagon that faces the "back" window, but since you have
let me back up a little here, you'll see bumperstickers (I’D RATHER BE
300 FEET BEHIND YOU!) where it was meant to see windshields and I am
stepping on it. You find it funny and worrisome at once, for this is
real rear wheel drive, and my acceleration in reverse gear gallops over
the raised and bumpy railroad tracks so the Caprice goes airborne like
some major motion heckova hunkova truck commercial and your pants
moisten, you have suspended breath and your adrenals could sluice no
better if a flaming volkswagen beetle had to be lifted to save your own
little bundle of joy, for I have not turned my head to see the road in
front of you; I am using the rearview mirror and this is what I meant by
let me back up a little here.
Not to worry on this lightly
travelled straight and mostly flat road lined with a lot of nothing but
cotton fields and the occasional telephone pole should I lose control. I
won't, I promise, reassuring that shy of a steep embankment, it is
almost impossible to roll a Caprice Station Wagon. I did not want to
scare you so though and feel bad that your bladder has involuntered, how
pale you are, so now we coast. You take a deep breath in a relief that
I appreciate as most of all it is audience that I need for this little
backing up of mine.
Why don't we visit the drive-thru just like this:
you go first, I'll let the electric window down and please order me a
coffee along with whatever you like.
Do not try to escape or I will
close the electric window on you, its one of the few things General
Motors was doing right in '79 and you would be wise to take my word for
the python like grip the window crank motor is capable of stopping you
with - go ahead, get a Chalupa if you like and I promise to go slow
while we eat. Thank you for witnessing my backing up a little here,
please buckle up.
