I got to drive one once. OH THE THRILL!!!!!

I tuned one up for a guy, and he said lets go, and handed me the keys in Germany.

It was a six cylinder model. It sunk me back in the seat when I pushed down on the throttle, and
it cornered so well.

Did he let you take it on the Autobahn?

No, just went to the top of the local hill / Grape orchard and back. About 6 klicks as we use
to call it. (6 kilometers or 6 x 6 = 3.6 miles)

I am very familiar with klicks.

Growing up, I had a friend who was originally from a mid Appalachian state.

He would take me out frog hunting with his three prong frog gig.

I just never got this either. Tried the little frog legs once. Never again.

It seemed such a waste.

You need to get some of those Iowa farm pond bull frogs. They have as much meat on their legs as an average chicken and they are delicious if prepared right.

 

[menotyou]

OMG, they serve them here at certain places. I will take real chicken over those, please.
