I'm gonna live to regret this....

With appologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein as well as Julie Andrews: Sung to the tune of 'my favoreite things'..................Sung to the tune of ' my favorite things'


Ancient Ford pickups with bias ply tires, flatheaded engines and cloth covered wires,full floating axles with overload springs,


These are a few of my favorite things.

Flatbeds and flaresides with six volt ignitions, bench seats and cab lights and crash box transmissions, Faded out paint jobs without any bling,

These are a few of my favorite things.


Wheels with their hubcaps and stock looking looking dashes,NOS fenders with no cracks or bashes, mufflers and tailpipes, not tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things....

When the clutch slips, when the seal drips, when I'm feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things and then I doint feel so sad......and then I dont feel so bad

that's really clever. you should maybe copyright with a right to use clause for the site. I'd like to submit it to my efv8 club newsletter if you'd let me. I could see that in an advert.

Thanks,

Happy Holidays
Bill

OK you ready for a challenge? Come up with a verse of your own..... I like the old heavy dutry stock trucks..... But maybe a darksider might come up with some thing else.......


Darksided pickups with crown vic suspension, high polished paint jobs too costley to mention, pulling some leafs from my factory springs, these are a few of my favorite things......


Or how 'bout.....

Trucks i with no carbs 'cuz the fuel is injected, PS and PB, it's almost expected, Big blocks with oversized pistons and rings, Therse are a few of my favorite things.......

When the door sags, when thebrake drags, when I'm feeling sad.... I simply remember my favorite things and then I dont feel so sad.... Told you in the morning I was gonna feel like crap, Happy Holidays~!!!!!

Talking

Driving with one eye 'cause I've double vision,
Blow in this tube - you can start my ignition,
Blue and red lights and the panic it brings,
These are a few of my favorite things.


Let's be safe out here. If you drink, stay at home. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones! .

I'll go;

Eight bolt wheel patterns with no widow makers
Vaccum rain wipers that don't clear a thing
These are a few of my favorite things

When the bowl cracks, when the ground arcs, when my compression's low
I simply remember my FTE things and then I don't feel so bad
