Glad to hear everything worked out, Lex! On a side note, Hot Rod Lincoln was one of my favorite songs growing up, and is firmly ensconced on my iPod! We left San Pedro late one night;The moon and the stars were shinin' bright.We were drivin' up Grapevine Hill,Passin' cars like they were standin' still.Then, all of a sudden, in the wink of an eye,a Cadillac sedan passed us by.The remark was made, "That's the car for me."But, by then, the taillights wuz all you could see.Well, the fellers ribbed me for bein' behind,So I started to make that Lincoln unwind.Took my foot off the gas and, man alive,I shoved it down into overdrive.Well, I wound it up to 110;Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.Had my foot glued right to the floor;I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more."Now the fellas thought I'd lost all sense;The telephone poles looked like a picket fence.They said, "Slow down, I see spots."The lines on the road just looked like dots.Went around a corner and passed a truck;I crossed my fingers just for luck -The fenders clickin' the guard rail post;The guy beside me was white as a ghost.Smoke was rollin' outta the backWhen I started to gain on that CadillacI knew I could catch him and hoped I could passBut when I did I'd be short on gas.There were flames comin' from out of the side;You could feel the tension; man, what a ride.I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by.All of a sudden a rod started knockin';Down in the depths she started a rockin'.I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.Well they arrested me and put me in jail.I called my pop to make my bail.He said, "Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin',If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"
