'Twas the night before Christmas... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

this was posted last year, but it a goodie.

'Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light,
Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,

I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this darn 73-87, even with its big blower,

As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The 73-87 erupts in clouds of tire smoke,

Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,

Racing ahead I'm the star of the action,
But I know I'm in trouble when that V8 gets traction,

Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing,
My mirror is blocked by my shopping cart wing,

I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep that four banger straining,

In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast,
And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past,

Don't bother with third, cause now its too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,

Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler,

"You can't win them all," he says in a fling,
"You may not win any, in that silly thing."

I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow..... it will be a better night.
