Do kids do that anymore?

The other night about 7:00 I decided to cruise town in the Mustang. I had just washed it and it was bright and shiny red. I put the windows down, turned up the music and headed downtown. Just as I turned the corner and went past the big windows of the bank building I looked at the reflection of the car in the window. I hadn't thought of doing that in years. There was a time though when My sister and I would wash and wax our Dad's 56 4 door Chevy and do just that. We would spend hours washing and waxing and spraying the wheel wells white and then we would head to Salem to cruise town and watch for our reflection in the windows. A 56 Chevy 4 door post and a 3 speed on the column might not sound like much but we couldn't have been happier. Those were the days of the 4 on the floor. My sister, Sue, got quite good at faking a 4 on the floor with the 3 on the column....well, you had to be there. BFF.

Nothing is cooler than the reflection of your bright red TR6. I curse James Smith's name every day...
