When I was in high school my best friend and I would create similar outfits and wear them at the same time. I guess that made us a little cheesy. But, every Friday night we would take forever getting dressed and doing our hair just so we could go out to the local bar and beat the boys at pool, while simultaneously flirting with them. And although we could be TOTAL girls, make no mistake, we could punch you out with little effort if you gave us a reason. One of the most popular offenses: flirting with another girl, or buying her a drink or touching her. Oh, we could flirt all we wanted to, but you, if you were our steady, could not! We thought we knew how to control ourselves much better than you. That being the case, we also felt we could be total bad ass drivers. Actually, we lived only 20 miles from Charlotte, N.C. and EVERYONE was into cars and driving! I learned a lot about cars during those days. As soon as we were able to obtain a driver's license, we started saving for our cars. Our very first job was at a carwash, and it may sound funny, but it was a really FUN job! Co-ed employee situation, outside, playing with cars. Lots of towel popping, water fights, and laughing! But we also took pride in our work, seeing who could grab the best cars and acquire the best tips! At some point when we past that first year of parental worries, we started going to the
race track every Sunday and racing our cars. My BF and I were determined to beat anyone we could. Be the best. Our boyfriends would get stuck taking care of our cars and repairing them if we blew something. FUN TIMES. To this day NASCAR racing is a huge part of her and her son's life, and me, I don't follow every race, but almost every major relationship I've had included car racing of some kind, so I have stayed on the outside fringes. My ex-husband taught me how to get the most out of a Porsche 914 and when we met, he owned a bad ass Roadrunner. I attend MOPAR Nationals from time to time. Lots of good looking men at car races! TOMORROW, DANICA PATRICK is going to get onto the Daytona 500 track, and I will be watching and cheering her on. FOR ALL MY GIRLS and for MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER! AND on Sunday it's the annual Daytona 500 race, so I'll be watching and reliving that rush, and maybe having a piece of Lemon Meringue pie.
