Damnit Cap'n.... Your story has kind of ruined me. I was just putting up Christmas lights on the house... garage doors open, radio playin, frosty adult beverage in hand... Springsteen's Born To Run comes on the radio and I immediately imagine the Lil Red Minx. Somehow that song will always be associated with a car I've never driven but feel like I know. I have realy enjoyed your tale.
