Well, OK then. I kept at the back because she was driving that SUV thingy with kiddies in it. I didn't know anybody very well or how the driving thing goes at these meets, so I just kinda hung back & made sure she & the young 'uns were OK. That high center of gravity in the SUV can make for some really excitin' twisties.
Things were going good until that friggin' traffic light. 
Hey there's Jim....and there goes Jim.  
<crowd whispering>, "Wait, come back Jim... Oh well."
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I kinda figured that is what you was doing, I really appreciated that, cause none of the other guys would do that.

its not the first time that has happened, but I try not take my driving skills too far. I was always taught to be on my P's and Q's. and yeah i have a heavy foot. but next time I will not take the truck down that road. the other road that we went on last year on the ride down from franklin, tn..... that was ok cause it didn't have that sharp of curves, but this one was a whole nother ball game.
yeah the blonde learned her lesson......

I'm scared! I envy you though....I wouldn't have gotten near that road with anything like a truck......I hate driving my dad's Expedition because it is so high and I can't take corners like in the Contour.
