Posies Driven Dirty Tour 2009 Day Six

Seems each day starts off with a song. The appropriate tune leavin’ Winslow is clearly the Eagles hit about standin’ somewhere…
I broke Posie Protocol and hooked us up with an additional non-Posie planned stop at my buddy Rodney Rucker’s garage before we headed out of town. Rodney is one of the craziest car guys I know. He loves Movie cars, in fact he owns the original Great Leslie which was the big white touring car Tony Curtis drove in the 1963 movie The Great Race. Remember every time Tony Curtis smiled big his front tooth would sparkle? Rodney also has the evil Professor Fate’s (from same movie) black scissor car complete with heat cone and retractable cannon in front. He has some of the most outrageous big vehicles using WW2 tank motors, and supercharged crazy stuff you have ever seen. One year Rodney drove one of his super dooper super charged Peterbilts on the Great Race. I think he told me that from coast to coast he spent something like $9600 bucks on fuel and that when it was only $1.50 a gallon! And all you folks thought I was crazy! (more…)
