Can You Smell It?

Can You Smell It?
O.K., I'm no grandma behind the wheel, but I'm not out there cruising, looking for red lights and Chevys neither.
But Saturday I went to a wedding. On the way to the reception, a co-worker and his wife pull up next to me at a red light in their Grand Cherokee. He honks and points up the road. I know, I know, not much of mark.
My girlfriend looks at me and tells me to "do it." After realizing she meant hammer it and not the other "do it," I proceeding to put the pedal horizontal.
As I've said, I love the speed and all, but I rarely do this. Well lo and behold, I left some rubber at the light! A Super Cab with 17-inch wheels and ORP! Never would've thunk it.
My girlfriend was all a-twitter. Goes without saying, with that reaction, I'm gonna need new tires real quick!
Da chip...it works.
