Owned by a Little Old Lady!

[TexP5]

Embarassing morning...Diriving to work and get into a traffic snarl on a freeway on ramp. Two overpass lanes merging down into one to enter the freeway. So it's backed up like always. I look in the rear view and there's an old lady who's gotta be 70 behind me sitting there looking pissed off. Things are moving slow and she's gesturing and shaking her head. Things move forward and finally we're coming to the actual freeway and some open lanes. As we accelerate she's waving her hand at me in a "Move it, Move it" sorta way.

I'm trying ya know, but I'm in the P5! Well damn she slams her foot to the floor in her big old Mercury Marquis, pulls out to the left right in front of oncoming traffic and blows by me shaking her head in disgust like I was the little old lady

I was laughing and thinking how cool she must have been when she was younger but man I was (owned)

Everybody Sing!!

INTRO:
It's the Little Old Lady from Pasadena!


VERSE:
The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)


But parked in her rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny red Superstock Dodge

CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard


It's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena!


VERSE:
If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)


Well she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator!


CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard


It's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena!

{ INSTRUMENTAL BREAK }


VERSE:
The guys come to race her from miles around
But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down!


CHORUS:
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the Little Old Lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard


Go Granny Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!
(Come on Granny, Go!)
Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!
(Come on Granny, Go!)

Pronounced like "meana," to rhyme with "Pasadena." Get it?
ALTERNATE VERSE (studio outtake):

You can catch her all the time just gettin' her kicks, now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
With her four-speed stick and a four-two-six, now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny go)

You know to save yourself some embarassment you could just say you got owned by a 5.0. Still true, just missing ALL of the details.

P.S. My 80 year old grandma drove a WS6 for 4 years, she just traded it in on a Kenny Brown Marauder this year. So if you are in central CA and you see a crazy old lady on your ass. MOVE! My g'ma don't mess around. I won't get in the car with her anymore because she scares the s*** out of me and I used to road race motorcycles!

that doesn't even matter. Any big V8 would toast us!

"why even menton it at all?

AGR whaddya mean? Why did I share the story? I thought it was pretty funny...Yeah the car blowing by me was no surprise, but the old lady and her attitude were a piss. I could almost hear her thinking "Get that Japanese POS outta my way dammit!"

 

[Kooldino]

Not really. You'd own a Marquis w/ your MSP...and even a lightly moded MSP can take out a Mustang GT.

(except.... a Maruder, I suppose!)

Yes.......and I have a friend with a GT that thinks it owns the world. You know, one of those guys that gives no 4 cylinders any respect!

Jacking my own thread...

AGR I love that McLaren avatar. I had a Hot Wheels version of that car when I was a kid and it was one of my favorites. I'm envious of your collection. I've got a bunch of Matchbox cars that I saved from childhood, and tons of racing history books but nothing like your stuff. Your wife must be great!

 

[cbcbd]

the only thing missing from my car. Basically the only reason (I believe) why the Subby WRX wagon got rated above ours in some comparison a while back. I'm getting tired of having to rev to 4500rpm in every gear just to keep up with traffic.

 

[TexP5]

I drive Houston freeways every day and NEVER feel bad about keeping up with traffic. I sold a Volvo 240 to get the P5 and one of the reasons was that the Volvo was just SCARY slow around here. The P5 does just fine as long as you keep the revs up and I don't mind that. This lady was just a little impatient and had a lot more Zoom Zoom than me.

Thank you! My passion for Motorsports runs deep. Here are some recent photos. I'm really wanting one of the new Exoto Cobra 260s in racing livery. Collecting a little over 10 years now. My wife? Oh yeah! She's wonderful!!
