- A while back, I had in my possesion a 1984 white Mitsubishi Colt,
- a small Japanese vehicle with reasonable maneuvering power. At the
- time, my girlfriend had in her possesion a slightly larger grey dodge
- of a more obscure make and model, which I forget.
-
- SO:
- A few months before getting a new car, I took the Colt out, and
- had it painted. First, two-shades greyish-green, light-battleship
- grey (top and bottom), and then---a large red "meatball" (Japanese
- Rising Sun) on either side. Along with this, I mounted for a hood
- ornament a target sight, and stenciled several shadows of automobiles
- along the sides, just by the door...
-
- MEANWHILE:
- My girlfriend was taking her dodge, and making appropriate
- American markings on the side...
-
- It all came to a head on the freeways. We'd put on pilot caps
- and goggles, and our nice leather flight jackets...Imagine the faces
- of the other motorists, as a nice, wheeled, Japanese Zero comes racing
- down the fast lane, followed closely by an American persuer...I would
- dodge into another lane, slow down, and let her pass, then pick up
- on her tail...when we borrowed a CB radio, we would call ahead threats
- and let truckers ahead wonder about it, then zoom past.
-
- One cop laughed so hard, he threw away the ticket.
-
- One time, after zooming around a clump of cars for a while, we
- zoomed ahead at high speed. She kept going, and I pulled to the side
- of the road, putting on a backpack and tying a *large* sheet to my
- back.
-
- The last thing the puzzled motorists saw was a downed Japanese
- Zero on the side of the road, and a poor pilot trailing a parachute
- trudging dejectedly to the call box.
