Rocket Car Dreams:
I used to dream of flying high,
Up above the road,
I'd take my sky blue Monte Carlo,
And swoosh right on by,
I had a mad scheme for electric rockets,
That would zap the very air,
And I go swooshing thrillingly,
Oh somewhere way up there,
And you see a '72 Monte,
Whoosh right over your head,
I had a zillion fantasies,
Of showing up Mustangs shiny red,
And when I'd found my girlfriend,
It wouldn't matter where she lived,
I'd pick her up in style,
And we'd travel for lunch a hundred miles,
While the stereo was rocking,
And when we landed everyone would stare,
It would go right to both our heads,
How silly such dreams might seem,
Until I learned to write a poem,
For now I can live them out,
And let my imagination roam,
So if you should see twin oval tail lights,
Red up in the sky,
Be glad it's not my headlights,
Swooping at your eye!

I owned a sky blue 1972 Monte Carlo
back in the early 1980's, and it had a huge motor &
was very fast. (454 CI w/ dual 2.5", headers, TH-400, 4.11 posi, 4bbl)
The motor was from a pickup truck, and I still miss that car dearly.
I had an idea for an electric rocket years ago, (Which actually would've
worked, but not enough to move a car.) One of my favorite fantasies
was to build a rocket car & go flying overhead freaking people out
and having fun. Alas, the car never left the ground, but it left my hands.
