I saw what I perceived to be an ideal moment today to capture video of my car in the elements accompanied by my latest composition. The video and the music seem to compliment each other. (No Shelbys were harmed in the making of this video.). This is what I hear in my mind when I see a neglected or abandoned car left in the weeds to disintegrate. It not only looks like but also sounds like a broken dream to me.

Best,

Richard E.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

That is cruel and unusual punishment.  All that is missing is a snowman behind the steering wheel. 8)

Thanks Richard. I enjoyed that.
Every post I make comes with an implied request for corrections. I'm here to learn.

Most welcome cj750.  The car was not out long.  Just enough to capture the moment.  The snow was soft and mildly wet.  Half of me did not want to do it but when I looked out the window I assessed the situation and sallied forth.  The snow rolled off the body easily once back safely ensconced in the garage.

I've found out that in 49 years of ownership, snow or rain won't melt the car.
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎
