The car is from yesterday, a long time ago yesterday. I wonder if he has had it that long; or wanted it then and can now afford it; if he feels like yesterday when he drives it today. Back in the early 1980's I went out with a women, whose husband had bought her a mid-1960's MG convertible (I know its complicated, she was a she, and yes she was married, and yes she screwed around - a lot. We were young and reckless.) She would put the top down and ask me to drive, with the music turned up, she felt like she was a teenager again. Shirley would be about 84 today, I wonder if she still feels young.
It's a nice memory. Do you have contact and know if she is still alive? I guess not.
ReplyDeleteLost contact a long time ago.
DeleteI hope Shirley Is still tooling around with the top down and some young stud behind the wheel.
ReplyDeleteI bet she is,
DeleteOh, you wild thang you!
ReplyDeleteA long long time ago
DeleteWhat a great catch! That car is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fun
DeleteI have a friend who has a vintage Porsche that looks much like that car. It's a light powder blue and he named it Priscila. So when he's driving around new Hope, one will hear, "Oh I see Priscila is out today."
ReplyDeleteAnd not the queen of the desert.
DeleteI have an Auntie Shirley who is 83 now, but I'm pretty sure she's not the same woman :) Somebody rear ended BH a couple of weeks ago. Crashed into my Buick, you pervs! We have been informed that it is totaled. I hate car shopping! Oh, well, Subaru Forrester here I come.
ReplyDeleteShirley was from Indianapolis. Sorry about the Buick, enjoy the Subaru.
