A week on duty, and overworked at that. On a Monday evening, beer is good. Life is grand. And during the week...
You regular guys here will recall a thread quite a ways back about Superman's son who totaled the Gen 3 Trans Am on the mountain road near here, and the lucky kid and his passenger weren't killed. Trees beside the road are a formidable obstacle.
So Superman put him in a Buick Electra or some kind of land barge to get back and forth to school and work, rather than take him everywhere he needed to go.
The kid tried autocross in his mom's Mini, turned some good times, and he wanted a ride to do cones with. He saved up his Bojangles money and bought this:
$1700. The battery was wandering around in the trunk, an explosion waiting to happen. Superman fixed that. And the wheel bearings and lots of things.
So, Kid goes off to the mountain road again in the Miata, with Superman's GoPro camera mounted on the hood, ready for some fun.
100 yards from where the kid totaled the Trans Am, the timing belt on the Miata breaks. Call a rollback. Again. Superman thinks the motor's ruined, hasn't looked at it, thinks a valve may have mashed a piston after the timing belt broke.
So we're all standing there outside the house in the dark two nights ago, rollback, flashing yellow lights all over the neighborhood, and Superman says, "I told him when he got that piece of shit he'd better have his checkbook ready."
WHOA. Superman doesn't cuss. Never heard him cuss before.
Maybe the kid should just stay off of that road. But I'm not superstitious or anything....
