Happy St Patricks Day - and Happy Birthday " black beauty !",,,
Well for a day all of us Irish or not , can share in the festivities.. Well quick history lesson. St Patrick's day or the feast of St Patrick,, who died according to history ,, between AD 385461.. Well anyways,, St Patrick is supposed to commemorate Saint Patrick , who taught , preached Christianity to Ireland. It also to celebrate the Irish culture and heritage. Which is celebrated around the world , with parades and festivities.. The Shamrock , or the wearing of green originated to explain the Holy Trinity to pagan believers. terms like Luck of the Irish came about , with the wearing of green. Like the color of money , Green is supposed to represent prosperity and health.. Like a green garden , or lawn.. Thus the short and brief history of the celebrations of St Patrick..
Now ,, to my meaning of St Patricks day,, Well 3 years ago from today ... Months before retiring , my lovely and devoted wife ,, took me, dragged me to the dodge dealership in temecula ca.. and off we went, but to be honest , my thoughts were camaro and mustang,, even to that day.. In fact I drove by the dealership , because I still wanted to look or test drive the mustang and camaro again,, but wifey insisted we try the dodge challenger,, Earlier in the week , she saw a toxic range Challenger with a black racing stripe,, but we got there too late,, sold,, not surprised,, not that i come to think about it,, well anyways,, we drop by and the first salesman,,, doesn't even give me a second look.. but the next one,,sales man,,, glenn, was more aggressive and gave me a run for my money,, We boxed around ,, testing each others knowledge, and he showed me a muscle car , with the chrome nag wheels , but no leather seats, and all the Fancy instruments stuff that the current car I have now,.. But i thought its a muscle car, the simpler the better,, But wifey , saw " black beauty".. Pitch black with red hash mark stripes.. now remember,, it was a rainy day and the cars just didn't look as spectacular,,, as you would think,, But I get in, and it was like love at first sight, the salesman grin,,and said 'thats the top of line RT , and he started explaining the remote start , the dvd, / sirius radio ,, etc ,, blue tooth.. leather seats,, heated seats, and i was hooked before the test drive,, but he said ,, lets takke a ride. and what a ride?!?! Like i said it was raining, the roads were wet. and off we went,, he took me to a back lot area ,, track area,, and he started doing donuts.. and speeding like we stole the car.. then he stopped and said,, its your turn.. at first i was shy,, but soon afterwards, I was doing the same thing,, but I stopped because wifey said,, don't wreck it,,!!, haha.. but anyways,, I loved it,, the feel of the car on the road,, the speed ,, and the handling were something special,, Like I said many times over .. I drove the Chargers, Camaro's and mustangs,, and i was thrilled to drive them.. But as sal , my long time friend, or Alvin,, the European car addict,,, You know when you found the car of your dreams or b my case budget,, and I always thought you pick the car,, its almost like the car picked me.. now. the whole day negotians Witt he car salesman and wifey was long and drawn out.. But after wards,, I was smiling and driving home in a new 2012 DODGE CHALLENGER RT, PITCH BLACK .. meaning the darkest black they sell.. No metallics. just dark black,, like my hair,, well except fr the shades of Gray.. but a beautiful car in deed.. and now St Patricks day 4 ever,, will be the day I celebrate the Irisg heritage , but also the ownership day of my beloved " Black Beauty!" and thus the many blogs about the events I endure owning this car,, to the cops ,, following me,, to people following me,, to car wrecked near the challenger and a near death, experience when my car was nearly side swiped in San Diego I nearly could of been crushed, because my co-worker was distracted by my car,, yikes,, but anyways, as we celebrate St Patricks day. I will also celebrate my bad ass muscle car,, and take it for a spin ... and proudly drive my car today,, and enjoy the fact ,, God has blessed me with a great family,,, and wife. and of course health,, Bit also,, a car or like my wifey calls it ' The mistress or the other woman.. because I pamper , love and take care of that car,,more than myself.. and anyone that knows me well.. I love myself.. so this car gets alot of tender loving care,, its really hard to explain.. just ask someone with that special car and look into their eyes,, and see how much pasion and effort they put in, making their rides,,, their own... Its an addictive feeling and a cool feeling to have,, knowing ,, you have something that is an extension of ones personality,, and its a apart of every car guy or gal that loves their car or truck.. Its a passionate love affair that never ends, ad one thing,, car lovers have with one another,, there is never enough pictures,, taken or times in the day to talk or share about our cars and trucks,, if you want to start up a never ending conversation with car lovers,, start talking about cars,, or let them talk about their stories,, it will never end.. haha,, Until my next BlACK BEAUTY BLOG,, ENJOY , DRIVE SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE.. and if you dare,, ask one of the car lovers about their cars and take a ride,, who knows? You may catch the fever that alot of my classmate's from the Aztecs years,, that is having a car that is fun to drive and has style and looks ,, that make them proud car owners!!
