A local guy that owns a 1968 440 powered Coronet R/T CONVERTIBLE 4 speed (a very rare car) sent this to me. it described an Oldsmobile so of course i had to modify it a bit for this forum.
Twas the night before Christmas and out in the garage,
There wasn't a trace of a Honda, Ford, or Toyota (used to say Dodge but we couldn't have that)
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
So I figured I'd mess with the Hemi a bit.
I popped the release and lifted the hood,
When a deep voice behind me said "those dual quads look pretty
good."
Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,
And there, by the workbench, stood ol' Saint Nick!
I stood there a bit, not to sure what to say,
Then he said. "Don't suppose that you'd trade
for my sleigh?"
"No way, Santa" I said with a grin,
"But if you've got the time we can go for a
spin!"
His round little mouth, all tied like a bow,
Turned into a smile and he said "Sure! Let's
go!!"
So not to disturb all the neighbors retreat,
We quietly pushed the R/T into the street.
Then, taking our places to coast down the hill,
I turned on the key and let the clutch spill.
The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.
With tires a'screaming and headers aglow,
We headed on out to where the Hot Rodders go.
And Santa's grin widened approaching his ears,
With every shift as I banged through the gears.
Then he yelled "I CAN'T RECALL WHEN I'VE FELT
SO ALIVE!"
So I backed off the gas and asked Santa if he'd like to
drive.
Ol Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!
The Hemi exploded with a sweet exhaust sound!
And when Santa popped the clutch the tires shook the
ground!
Power shifting into second, again into third!
I sat there just watching, at loss for a word.
Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, it's one heck of a
night"
