A Day in My Hot Rod It was a nice sunny day on the 30th of Juno, so I decided to take my Hot Rod and visit my friond,Jim Bates,in Miami Beech, Florida. I know I would have to hurry if I in- tended to arrive there at 8:00 o’clock in tho morning and arrive back in Vermont at 12:00 o'clock that night in time for tho late show. When I got in my Hot Rod tho d-w was still on tho car seat, because it is a convertible, so I put a blanket undor mo, took a little snack (eight salmi on pumpcrnicklc sandwiches, threo eases of Hires, and two dozen bags of potato chips) in caso I got hungry. I pressed tho starter and my 550 h.p. engino started to purr. Then I was on my way, but first I had to tank up on gas. As it was a gas eater, I knew I would need around 100 dollars for gas. It was 8:30 when I started on the high- way for Florida, I was cruising along at around 150 miles'an hour until I got to a city and had to slow down a little, but the traffic was light and I made it in ? hours to Miami Beach, and I was roally gassed man; I moan gassed!? When I got to Jim's placo I had supper and we decided to go around the beach and got a look at the beautiful chicks, nr I moan sights of the city. Wo decided to go for a short swim)after about an hour of swimming I romcmbired I should have started back a half hour ago, so I said good-byo to Jim and his family and off I went. Going homo was a lot worso than coming. The traffic was vory heavy and I know if I wanted to get home by twolvo I nad to hurry, When I got outside the speed limits I stepped on it and before I knew it I was doing a cool 200 miles’an hour, and I was passing cars right and left-daddy-ol And when they saw my little Irvender and tangerine hot rod bomo they just pulled over and stooped. There was one wiso guy who thought ho wouldn't lot me by. He had a I960 Oldsmobile, I had to put it in passing gear, but when I passed him I was going so fast he itdrrt even sec mo go byu He kept looking behind him. Tho only time I had a close call was whon I passed a car- op a curvo are great big trailer truck was coming, I couldn't slow vp and go bac.c into tho lane, bccrusc a car was right bohlr-d me, so I stepped on it but my engine died right d wr. I said oc myself, Oh oh, this is iti But it was a high trail- er truck and he wont right over me I The only thing he did to tho car was to take- off my con- vertible top- and then, of course, it started to rain and roally rain. I didn't have r top to put over me, so I just kept on going on North. When I got to a nico long stretch I stopped on tho old gas Paddle, but my engine died down again, and I looked and discovered that I was out of gas, I had gone a 100 milos on an ompty gas tank. It just happened T was near
