Rust Rivers and Dents

Rust and rivet lots of dents
Where have all the dangerous cars went?

I know i drove a lot in the bad cars in 1990s
But was I the only one?
That had inspection stickers from the decade past
Twenty dollar tires you prayed would last?

Have your neighbors identified you
By the sound of your slipping fan belt
Or your back firing 4 cylinder yelp?

Did you ever keep gas
To prime your carborator?

I had a car with a hand choke
Honest, no joke!

That Van that shot fire
Was probably too much
But it belong to the church
So Faith trumps Luck!

Did you keep a screw driver
To spark the starter?!

The Air conditioners
Never worked
That didn't matter
I kept the heat on all year
So the engine would not overheat

Clamps and hoses
To cover the leaks in your brake lines
Popping the clutch
Was always a good time!

It was easier If you parked on a big hill!
That is if you didn't need
Chalk blocks because the
Transmission slipped when in park!

Air shocks keep you from
Buying new springs
Rivets and rust make
You look mean

All the cars now are so nice and clean
I still like to See cars with
Rivets dents and rust!
But I am glad I No longer
Drive cars that bust!!!!!

Saw an old green van on Route 1 South just before Jamestown RI exit.  Brought back memories.
