Factory five FTW

[seanLFCcoyne]

I strip away the old debris

That hides a shining car

A brilliant dark blue cobra

From a better vanished time

I fire up the willing engine

Responding with a roar

Tires spitting gravel

I commit my weekly crime

Rush's "Red barchetta" should of been " Blue Cobra"

They don't just make the ground shake,

if you are standing inside while this monster passes you, you can see the windows being pushed towards you slightly :D

Any man who does not at least feel something when seeing and hearing this car is a faggot.
