GENERATION GAP

PLYMOUTH NC: On Jefferson St. at Water St.

 

Ah, this Nissan 350 ZX brings back memories, er, at least a painful nightmare. I owned a beautiful, new 300 ZX colored in mid-life crisis red that I loaned to my to my son to take to his girlfriend's to show off a bit.

 

Well, long story short, within an hour he totaled it. Yup, just couldn't believe it; he wrapped it around an oak tree that mysteriously jumped out from the edge of a country road.

 

My Red Z was my baby. I merely wanted to show my son that finally earned he had my trust. Big mistake.

 

After leaving him I drove to the yard where the towing company left the car. On the way I prayed the car wasn't totaled. Then . . . then . . . I got there. I checked out the car and prayed the car was totaled.

 

It was.

 

Ah, the mistakes of parenting. ;-)
