As most of you know I've been using a bicycle for my total transportation
since 96' but last week my friend won a new Saturn in a casino drawing. She gave
me her old car, a 92 Ford Escort, you guessed it, she won that in a casino
drawing in 92' I remember taking a new car trip with her in 92' to Misquite
and her parking at the far end of a parking lot to avoid dents. Same thing with
the new car.
Now here's the problem. I rode my bike up Boulder and up Pecos with a nice
tail wind pushing me. Stuffed the bike in my "new" car trunk and began the trip
back home. I was on Charleston in the middle of a block doing about the
speed limit, coasting in 5th gear when a pickup truck with the suspension that
would enable him to easily drive over railroad tracks, followed me for a while
then roared around me as if it was the start of the Indy 500 with Jean Scott
saying, "Video Poker Players Press Your Max Play Buttons." The really
sickening thing was he could clearly see the light ahead had just turned red so he
had to slam on his breaks right away. It was like that all the rest of the way
home from several motorists.
Here's my idea. I'm going to put a sign on my trunk "BAD ENGINE, PLEASE
PASS" That way I can drive nice and speed limit slow and save gas.
