Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2007Dirtied my pants
Going from home on the freeway with 2 lanes each direction on the way to the car races, I was all alone - nothing to see either ahead or behind. As there may be traffic entering at the next ramp (uphill), I slowly drifted to the left to leave room for any joining vehicles to have an easy time. As I was about halfway into the left lane, there's the frantic sound of a motorcycle horn next to my left knee. I whip the car to the right without looking, sliding the rear, then straighten it out then whip-snapping almost back into the left lane. Then I realize that there is a motorcycle ad on the radio!

I absolutely hate that... since I'm always driving in heavy traffic, any SFX on the radio of a police siren, screeching tires, etc. always creeps me out. nate Another reason for a radio delete plate!....lol Bob40 >> Going from home on the freeway with 2 lanes each direction on the way >> to the car races, I was all alone - nothing to see either ahead or [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > nate > Another reason for a radio delete plate!....lol I sold a '60 Hawk to a funny little fellow a few years ago. He didn't want a radio in the car because when he had a '53 he got so involved with the music on the radio that he lost control and wrecked the car. He was a music professor at a small college. Paul Johnson "He was a music professor at a small college." _________________ The first owner of my car was also a music professor...at the Juilliard. Sure enough, it has a front clip. Friends don't let friends ride with musicians. I've been alarmed by special recording effects ever since Artie Shaw started doing that siren thing with his clarinet... > I sold a '60 Hawk to a funny little fellow a few years ago.
