My friend Red and I are at this car show last fall. It's Red's first with his rebuilt Nova with a 408 Stroker.
Pretty nice.
I got my car parked and we both head down the line to look at the other cars at the show.
We come up to this Stude Lark and start admiring the paint job and what looked like a pretty nice resto.
This kid comes up and starts talking to us about the Stude and says he's here with his Grandpops and they rode up together.
Says that when the Old man dies, he gets the Stude and since Grandpops is a "really old dude" it could be his anytime now.
Red and I look at each other and then Red says,
"Nice!! And how old is Grandpops?"
Kid says, "pretty old, must be 60 or somthin...".
(I'm 61 and Reds 62)
Yes we laughed.......and then I stopped and looked at Red and said "and what the hell are we laughing at"?
Pretty nice.
