My new E55 Wagon--a story by Mrs. Schiznick
Pete is just leaving the gym and driving on Oak St in somewhere USA
He has just spanked his bother in law in 3 straight games of raquetball
Off to the office he goes for a 9:30 teleconference
He is high on life as his 2004 black vette just got the $16 car wash the night before
Including lemon scent and some shiney tire stuff
His cd player is blasting the Scorpians
Pete is feeling most confidant.
It's a beautiful sunny morning
things are about to change....
Our Mrs. Schnick has just recieved her NEW E55 estate wagon the night before
A wonderful valentines day surpirse from her loving husband
The "dragon wagon" as she now calls it has also left the gym
Mrs. Schnick has also just finished working out
1 advanced spinning class, followed by yoga and then an advanced level III combat aerobics/self defense class that she taught last year
A quick fruit smoothy and she's off to her court case where she looks forward to putting some scumbags away for 20-30 years.
She has an unprecented trail attorney winning record of 22-0.
A petite 5'1" and former cheerleader for Univ of Wisconsin, she is hardly thought to be menacing to anyone or any driver---especially our boy Pete
At the intersection of Jones and College the two cars meet side be side at a stop light
No one is in front of them
Both have motives unknown to the other
Pete--to impress this soccer mom with his black corvette
He turns up the volume... "here I ammmmm rock me like a hurricaaanee"..
He looks, no he stares at the wagon lady and thinks
(damn--that's a nice paint job on that wagon)
He stares at the dragon lady hoping to get eye contact
The dragon lady on the other hand has motives all her own
She can't wait to tell the Mr. about smoking a vette
She thinks she can easily get the Mr. to pony up for the AMG driving school if she plays her cards right and smokes this turkey
She looks over at Pete and does her best "Ooohhh what a pretty car" look
The sucker falls for it
He races his small block engine
vroom, vroom
vrooooom, vrooooom
Dragon lady looks over and starts laughing
She quickly punches in the code for dyno mode (getting it correct her first attempt) and starts a monster smokey burnout
Pete is beyond shocked
Dragon Lady has Whitney Houston rocking the cabin. She is locked and loaded. A brief thought enters her mind--a scene from Rocky where Mr. T enters the ring "I piddy the fool who steps into the ring against me"...
she laughs to herself as her grip strengthens on the wheel
A quick thumb movement and her multidisc player is now searching for Classic Van Halen that she remembers from her sorority house keg party days
She bumps the volume up
The burnout ends and Pete is uncertain what to do
He must defend his corvette manhood he thinks.
The light turns green.......
Both dragon lady and Pete floor it
It is a crisp, cool morning about 40 degrees
From the start the dragon lady is all over it
She feels one with her machine as Eddy, Alex, David and bearded dude with the jack daniels bass guitar erups into rock and roll at it's finest
The E55 is launching forward like the Millenium falcon in hyper drive
Pete, on the other hand has a nice view of the temporay tag on the back of the Benz
He is dumbfounded as to why he has this view (maybe he fell asleep for a split second he thinks) He presses the gas pedal even harder
Our girl dragon is steering the beast like Kenny Bernstein at the Gatornationals
She has her high heeled shoe mashed against the pedal and the chances of her letting off is like is like hitting the Ohio lottery twice in a row
She glances down and much to her surprise the speedo reads 140
Is that kilometers? she thinks
She looks down again. Mph. Wow. She smiles even wider.
Pete is now straining his laser corrected eyes to even see the wagon in front of him. It's a small speck that looks like it's in the next county
He turns off at the next side street, picks up his cell phone and schedules an appt his his therapist.
Pete is not feeling well anymore
He resumes his drive to work
Arrives and pours a cup of coffee
Over at his computer he types in "Mercedes Wagon" into Google.
He must find out more about what ate his lunch (and breakfast).
The End

Reminds me that I need to download some Scorpions and decent metal to my MP3 player...speaking of the 80's...you guys hear that Colin Farrel and Jamie Foxx are lined up to be the new Crocket and Tubbs (a la Miami Vice fame)?
I'd like to see what ride they'll be cruising in...
