Giddy-up GTO

. 

I had my share of the camaro's and a vette

 but I must say, my ~GTO was the best one yet

 A 67 GTO with a six-pack & four on the floor

 on Friday nights, all you'd see was its back door

 From the bright gold paint to the factory wheels

 it was a sleeper and it had paid for some meals.

 

.

Cruising El Dorado Park on a Saturday night

 on Studebaker road you could see it take flight

 My GTO had three two barrels and dual exhaust

 your foot to the floor, you could really get lost

 Factory chrome with a posi-trac rear end

 to make better than new, every dime I would spend

 

 When I pulled into the park, it needed no introduction

 it turned allot of heads with its Rare production

 A 400 power plant and a factory tach in the dash

 this sweet 'lil honey, made lots of cash!

 You should have seen this car when I took her in

 the biggest smile on my face, ...A wall to wall Grin

 

An 8-track tape in the dash that was right on queue

 through the speakers blasting "Run around Sue"

 Out of the junk yard from whence it came

 in my garage, this beauty would never be the same

 My friend said 'HEY' let me take her out for a spin

 little did I know, I'd never see him or it again.

  • Very descriptive, and a great write. I'm very sorry to hear about your car. I'm not overly a car person ((The most I know is that it has four wheels, a steering wheel... ect lol))

    I wish you luck in my contest,

    Sweet cars yes they are
    Sorry you lost your car
    My cousin had his in the grarage
    with a boat parked behind it
    While they where in the house
    Some people picked up the boat
    and moved it and stole his car
    Roses to you

    Great write, and what a great car. Always wanted a Judge, but now the prices have just gotten silly. Congrats on this piece.

    I had a chevelle and it had 3 on the column. I loved that car. Wish I still had it! This brought back many High School memories. Damb your GTO went fast 165..Phew. I love ya, bro.


    It can only getsbetter

    I smile and cry
    about times gone by,
    but I know I can depend on you!
    No matter what they say,
    if theres a way,
    You will do,all you can do.
    I say to my friend,
    our friendship won't bend.
    I charish each time spent together.
    Don't have to rhyme,
    your there and I'm,
    seeing the times only getsbetter.
    You hear what I say,
    Smile for me today,
    Don't frown about the weather.
    See what I have learned,
    don't think I'll get burned,
    Looks like times only..getsbetter!

    Your bro, The Shaker

    this is great Gets! I loved the pace, the sound of it and of course the very car of it so much! and the last lines really clinched it...I don't think that "friend" could've run away with any guy's girl and he'd feel any worse! you have to be one of the most elaborate page designers out here on AP! each image steps along beautifully with the poem...and that speed limit checker at the end was over the top!

    GREAT writing Gets! Enjoyed every line truly!

    Jo

    P.S.: what's an 8-track??? I know, I know! and 25-point bonus reward case you do too!

    I bet this was a fun poem to write and you did an exceptional job on it. I never had a muscle car until these last 7 yrs-they are fun. Best wishes in the contest-looks like a winner to me~vj

    Beautiful, though poetry. Reminds me of one of T.S. Elliot's pieces. Hope the meoories of both car and friend keep a smile in your heart.

    Memories of those by gone days of fasts cars and fast women (??). Liked the flow of this and the information thrown in. Great rhythm and rhyme and an entertaining read. Too bad it ended up like it did.
