Firbirds are fast

Anyone that knows Brian knows he loves car. Sure most of the ones he brings home are old and rusty but thats men right? He was a little uspet that I sold his 69 Camaro after he got hurt last year. So to make it up I would give him a little money here and there until he has saved enough to buy himself a 67 Firebird. It has had a few thing tinkered on by some of his friends but it just sits there and awaits the time until he has some extra money for parts. When you are a car guy you seem to have car guy friends. They talk about cars about as much as they talk about their children and have as much pride in the little things their cars do just as they do with their kids.
His buddy Darrell has a 68 Firebird and wanted to take him for a ride in it. Every time I heard about it I got a little nervous about how exactly he would get into the car.
I was not home when this all happened, I pulled up to the house to see two guys turning around in the driveway. Not knowing who the passenger was I gave it a closer look. I was in shock to see Brian sitting there acting like nothing was out of the ordinary. They peeled out of the driveway like a couple of teenagers.
It took a little more work to get him out of the car and into his wheelchair becasue his seat was much lower than his wheelchair was.
He had a great time riding around and I am so glad he was able to do somthing fun.
