Last night we , my wife and I, decided to get a pizza for supper. So I call and put in the order. I will pick it up, so I decided to take my baby the Porsche on this trip. It was a beautiful night and I hadn't taken it out in a while so I jumped in and off I went to pick up the pizza. I was just cruising along at a moderate pace most of the way. As I was turning on to the highway I am saying to myself "self lets get on this baby and have some fun. Mash on the accelerator and off we go, first gear 50 mph, shift into second mash the pedal again, go ,backfire, go backfire. Something is very wrong with this car. I make it to the restaurant, Elm Street Grille ( who has the best pizza in the area) and park the car. I call AAA, they will send someone in 45 minutes to pick the car up and take it to my mechanic. 40 minutes pass the guy comes with the truck to flat bed the car. And as he is loading the car onto the truck every person that passed made a comment about the car on the flat bed. "Nice car, I bet you get good gas mileage on the back of that truck". Ha Ha you are so funny. "Hey you won't put any miles on the car that way". Ha Ha, funny. People are so hilarious, remind me to laugh when I get the bill for this repair.
As I was riding in the truck to my mechanics garage, I keep thinking back when I was younger and the wrecks that I use to buy. Things like this use to happen all the time. In fact it happen so much I knew the tow truck drivers first name, we were old pals. We dropped the car off and headed back home to eat our cold pizza and think about the repair bill we will see in the near future.

You know, I would suggest a nice shiny red wagon that you could keep in your garage. It uses less gas and breaks down less than the Porsche. Just a suggestion.
I should also mention from numerous past experiences that it is quite embarassing to explain to AAA that the license plate on the large vehicle they are coming to tow says "DOMINATE".
Poor, Poor Bilford!
I can't wait to hear "The Rest of the Story!!!" Your life experiences lately can rival any soap opera on daytime TV shows ... maybe you could get on Oprah or Martha Stewart with a topic of "How to Overcome Adversity with a Smile."
By the way, what's the speed limit on the roadway where you mashed the pedal, did 50 mph in first gear and shifted into second and mashed it again? You couldn't have been speeding could you?
I'm sure some of us wil be happy to remind you to laugh when you get the bill for this repair ... Just tell us when you get it and how much it cost!!!
Keep that chin up .......
