PRIMER ALERT SUCCESSFUL IN NEW ENGLAND
The system worked. Folks responded with sightings of the missing coupe from all over the Atlantic Northeast: from as far north as Niagara Falls, and back to Worchester, the hot line rang with reports that the car, with various disfigured acromegalics at the Bell wheel, had been sighted...running hard...among a group of cars which had been disguised to look like real hot rods.
The pack of thievin' rats moved from place to place, eating BBQ in safe houses provided by similar disgusting misfits, sleeping only when it was opportune and -like a bunch of Clydes and one Bonnie- they met their end in Mass. Yup. It got ugly.
The California posse pretended to be drunk at the Oldtymers Picnic (they had been pretending like that a lot) and, under the cover of 1000 other cars, the car was quietly rolled away to a predetermined location, the Handsome California Guys blended (not so easily) back in to the crowd, and the ravaged oil-starved hot rod was whisked away for debriefing.
Debriefing, you ask? Yes.
Bun-hugger underwear had been found in the car. Under the seat. In the trunk. Hanging from the torque tube. These nasty remnants of the little coupe's life-changing experience had to be removed..... with sticks...... and burned.
All we can ask of the as-yet unidentified people on this months' cover shot is, "Have you no shame? Have you no respect? Have you no boxers?!!!!!"
The final indignity of the experience is that the culprits have been expelled from all NSRA events and they've taken Hop Up with them!
We'll let you decide for yourself, but we kinda think we'll take that as a badge of courage, though, and...when the Regional Hop Up Nationals are being set up..we'll set 'em up in the same town as the NSRA, same days, have camping, have a swap meet, and have a ball.
Take a little cream off the top, they say. We don't require much.
By today, the stolen car is back in the fold, being coddled, and being hopped up again: seems those cats back there stole the good cam and heads off the car and left some anemic stock parts on it....just so theirs would sound better!
Note to Ken, Keith, Dave, Ron, Jake, LouAnn, John, Matt, Nelson:
Remember: we're readin' your mail and we know you're coming out here to try to steal the car again and...we'll be waitin'for ya.
With Tangueray and tonic.
