WWE, 5/16/12, Cars and Trucks

Challenge:

Write in any form you desire about: Cars and Trucks

*****

"This here's a might fine muscle car." The mechanic said this whilst kicking my tire which immediately went flat. I looked at my 45 miles per gallon Kia Rio and pondered, thinking perhaps I should change my dress for a leather jacket and maybe joining the tattoo parlor. "Yup, I'll have er fixed up fer you in no time." This time he kicked the front tire which also went flat. "That'll be $500.00 up front and you can pay me the rest when I'm done."

Many of you know I'm stupid, but I'm not dumb. So, I looked around and asked, "Which one are your working on? Is it the BMW, the Audi or that great big truck?"

"Now, pretty little lady, that's my semi and you cain't get no better than that. Cepting if you want me. Now give me a little kiss. A little kiss'll give you one of them discounts, ifn you know what I mean."

Hmmm. Two flat tires, an incapable mechanic and I'm in stilettoes. Oh well. I ran to the semi, left the Kia behind (oh my) and backed the semi through the garage door. Was I wrong? Maybe. I miss my little Kia. Yuck, I hate to think what he may have done to the rest of the tires.

Whatever! You know that old saying: Keep on Trucking and it's not that hard to drive a semi in stilettoes....

Kevin, do you mean you hate to write 'what a kick' or a response to the challenge? I hope it's both.

Pam Brittain May 16, 2012, 5:31pm UTC

Wait, you're not commenting on my challenge. Thanks, Kevin. I still want to hear your story.

Pam Brittain May 16, 2012, 5:59pm UTC

Kevin, it took me a good 1/2 hour, but what you said finally 'kicked' in. Groan.

I now have a very odd image of you at the wheel of a semi in my head, but a delightful story.

Pam Brittain May 16, 2012, 7:15pm UTC

Gee, A.F., thank you. I used to drive a great big school bus with teenagers in it, all the way to Payson. That should count for a lot. Especially when they all grouped up in the back and started swaying in unison, yowling like cayotes.

I'd love to see if you really know how to back up a semi. Cool story.

Pam Brittain May 17, 2012, 2:35pm UTC

What? You doubt that a 95 pound old lady could do that?

Fun tale, but watch those heels in the floor mats.

Pam Brittain May 17, 2012, 2:36pm UTC

David, I can't believe you're more worried about the floor mats and me. Sob and sniffle.

I have a better idea what she should have done with the stilettos! I like this Pam.

Pam Brittain May 17, 2012, 2:36pm UTC
