In high school my folks had a gold '63 Impala - bro, I was pimpin' driving that to the Block (that's West Broadway for you youngsters) to find someone to buy for us on Friday night -
Yup, let's see - 2 sixers of Bud, pint of Tango, a coupla GIQ's - coupla bucks for gas....
Man, I wish I had that car today - I'd be low-ridin' all over town, my main - with rod racks on it, too...  |
