In The Garage, A Forgotten Race Car?

Wow!

Inspecting a Dayton home I got excited as the overhead door slowly opened and I saw the Indianapolis banner. It was for the race car that raced around Indianapolis in1998. The red roof of a car in front of the was barely visible from where I stood.
The sleek red roof, covered in dust had my mind imagining the V8 racer, the sculpted bodywork, the powerful sound of big exhausts…. For that moment my imagination raced, fantasies took over, my love of powerful cars blinded me and it was time to get back to reality and inspect the garage as I realized I was looking at a two door Jimmy with flat tires.

Since then there have been numerous magnificent cars. Just off off Dorothy lane there was a house with two beautifully built muscle cars that are raced regularly, it’s every kids dream to have a racing car and growing up and getting old does not necessarily change that dream.
