When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

[tryg]

and for my 1500th post; a modified Christmas poem from an online source, changed for us:

-Twas the night before Summernats and I was caught at the red light,
Was a Holden V8 and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try with this small 2.0 motor,
To beat this damn Commodore, even with it's 5-litre big noter,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The Holden erupts in clouds of tyre smoke,
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four MIVEC pistons.

Racing ahead I'm the Star of the Action,
But I know I'm in trouble when that V8 gets traction,
Flicking to paddles, I hear the RPM sing,
My mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing.

I now hear the roar of that big monster gaining,
And all I can do is keep that four-banger straining.
In a second the shockwave hits with a blast,
And my CVT is flying now, a thing of the past.

Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler.

"You can't win them all," he says in fling,
"But you may not win any, in that silly thing",
I scowled and revved and let out a sigh,
And did my trademark high-speed CVT fly-by...
