As I reflect on the stirrings of my own “midlife,” thought I’d share a special childhood memory: dad’s 427 GT cobra, my brothers and I feeling the coolest we’ve ever felt (even today), sharing the single passenger seat and center column/roll bar, punching eachother and burning our legs on the under-door exhaust pipe when climbing out. While dad, license plate “BALISTC,” blasted this song on repeat (sound on), setting off all the car alarms on the block with the vibration of the revving engine, from school to home, to grocery store and back to mom’s house. Didn’t stop us Payless velcro shoe wearing chubby, pasty, Catholic School kids from being “stupid effing wettos.”
