THE DAY I BURNED OUT CHULA VISTA..
First of all , bro in law or long lost brother is something else.. I mean he did grow up in the country and has many stories that are outrageous.. But when I asked him to show What a American Muscle Car Legend can do.. I didn't expect this.. First off.. Burning out in a residential area.. Alley HE LIKES to refer to it.. it Crazy , reckless and dangerous.. But then again owning a Fast car in these day in age is reckless , youthful and aggressive.. But watching my wife and her family trip out on all the white smoke,, the squeal of the tires and the roar of a Hemi powered engine is what they secretly wanted to see. As for me.. I know I wanted it too. But the trip to Otay Lakes road going at speeds of 140 to 160 Mph IS WILD.. But I loved every twist and turn and the lessons about making fast turns and stepping on the gas pedal at the right time.. It was exciting and scary at the same time. The head was flushed with excitement and the tester one level jumped 100 times over.. The roar of a powerful engine and the running down the road as other cars looked like they were standing still was awesome.. I must admit at least for one afternoon I felt like that 17 year old kid speeding down Palm Avenue in South San Diego with my Pals. Guy , Mark , Russel , John, Teddy and the rest of the wild white boys I sometimes hunged out with. Those were the days,, Long hair, skinny ass jeans ,, big egos;; and NO FEAR FOR SPEED.. We were young and restless and enjoying the youth.. Like I said back in the day I saw many of the Great cars.. of the day,, Firebirds, Camaro's barracuda's, CHARGERS, CHALENGERS , MUSTANGS,,. you name it I saw them up close and personal.. I was always a fan of muscle cars and I always dreamed of owning one.. To wait nearly a lifetime ,, is beyond me.. I mean I have owned Rice burner Toyota Supras and Nissans Cefiros;.. But nothing compares to the real Kings of Muscle Cars.. American Muscle rules.. I love the mean looks and the aggressive body styles and of course the loud exhaust and that feeling " I'm a American Bad Ass!! Its a attitude that comes with owning such a car. But I always have preached " Its never too late!! Right now is the best time of my life because I'm alive and have the greatest wife and kids in the World.. I have the greatest family who actually threw a party for my car in CHULA VISTA.. The Many pictures and oohss and ahs.. are still fresh in my memory.. But that day with Justin, schooling me on the how to drive fast and furious was awesome..
The best memory was before picking up his ride.. I let him drive with my wife and girls in the back seat.. and those minutes speeding through Chula Vista was amazing.. The speed sign was flashing " SLOW DOWN!" because My brother Justin was probably traveling in 100 + on city streets.. oh what a laugh we all had.. and watching my wifes face as Justin speed like a devil with " Black Widow" at least for that afternoon.. was exhausting and exciting. It was a awesome day , topped off with the Party and pictures and my demo of th car features.. Like automatic start up ,.. DVD.. STEREO ..with a HARD DRIVE AND SAT RADIO AND plush leather seats.. Its really a Bad Ass cool car and I love how I feel and look in it.. MY FAVORITE BRO IN LAW.. next to Oliver is FABZ.. when he said.. " Mel you look good with this car.. Its really you!! Of course I agreed and after years of driving in first to last cars.. Pintos, Buicks , Toyota's , Nissans, Chevys, and now a DODGE CHALLENGER .. I have finally found the ride that fits my personality and style.. The Challenger has the sleek , mean sexy and mysterious look , kind like me.. But it also has the soft , luxury , cool interior , kind like me , you have to know me to love me.. First impressions is this guy is a cocky , loud and self centered arrogant prick.. well at times you have to be, But once you get to know this guy, you realize there is a methos to his madness, a kind , soft hearted , sensitive guy who has passion and desire for life. But like alot of people and Muscle cars.. is often misunderstood and often clustered as the stereotype.. But hey.. right now,, I;m happy and Im ready to enjoy my next life.. My years in the military is winding down.. and my years as a civilian with a Bad Ass Muscle Car , with a touch of luxury is gonna make my remaining years of my life , youthful , strong and fun.. I always like to have fun and enjoy life.. Some may call me reckless, useless and unwise with my money and time.. Well ,, if you feel that way.. fa wk you.. Your not a true American and Muscle car guy.. The American thinking is We are the best and we believe it!! I know that sounds arrogant , But its hard to be humble when your the best! For those looking for a car that is more than just a means of transportation.. Then I suggest test driving one of the few American Muscle cars out there,. I did!! CAMARO , MUSTANG , CHARGER, and finally THE WINNER in my humble opinion. THE 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER RT PLUS , WITH THE TURBO CHARGED HEMI V8 ENGINE , with CrusieJoe , Junel , Guy , John . Robert , Hernand , Jason , Rick , Fabio , I took all of your inputs and basically said" What is this car suppose to do for me?? Bottomline.. I wanted a flashy , luxury feeling car that expressed the sentiments" I''m Beautiful and I'm loving life to the fullest!! AMERICAN MUSCLE RULES AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO ALL OF YOU SEARCHING FOR THAT NEW CAR. TRY OUT A AMERICAN MUSCLE WITH LUXURY AND PRACTICALITY AND A SENSE OF SHOW OFF APPEAL.. THE CHALLENGER IS THE CHOICE AND I'M SO HYPED!! That day burning rubber in the streets of Chula Vista and weaving through 805 freeway and watching a law enforcement officer stand in shock and awe , as BLACK BEAUTY came roaring down the off ramp , was a funny scene indeed.. I will cherish that day and I'm sure I will have many more tripped out stories regarding " THE BLACK BEAUTY , AKA THE BLACK WIDOW.. AKA RT.. RT STAND FOR.. REALLY TRIPPY??? LOL.
