It was worth it

Several months ago I won a Surf City Garage car care kit during a call-in contest on SpeedFreaks. It's show quality wax and cleaners. I spent the last 3 days cleaning and waxing my SLK 280 just to pass the time and enjoy the sunny afternoons. I wound up putting 3 layers of wax and detailing on the Mercedes.

Tonight I got a craving for some vodka martini's but I was all out of olives, so I made a quick trip to Brookshire's. I pulled up, got out of the car and before I could shut the door a really good looking blonde about 20 years too young for me walked up and said "I really like your car".

I should have invited her to join me for a ride, but the conscience battle scene from Animal House was running thru my head. Instead I just said "Thanks" and walked away.

Needless to say, I should have listened to the guy in red. Instead, I'm drinking a couple extra martini's than I originally planned.

    It's easy to think of what ya 'Otter' done after ya didn't do it.

    Or vice-versa.


    (Yes, I do realize the pic is of Tom Hulce/Larry Kroger, not Tim Matheson/Eric 'Otter' Stratton...just sayin'.)

    Otter drove a Vette. Of course he was a douche.

    True, the most painful part about driving a 'Vette is the mandadory dongectomy - 'cause everybody knows...
