Drag Racing Diva

On the way back from my doctors appointment (all is well with the baby and we find out whether we’re having a boy or girl on Dec. 4), I was sitting at a stoplight in my minivan when two “good ole boy” pickup trucks pulled up on either side of me.

As we waited for the light to turn, they sat there staring at each other and revving their engines (I think they’d been racing). For a fleeting moment I thought about revving my engine, too. I didn’t do it, but the thought certainly made me giggle.

However, when the light turned green and the trucks took off, I found myself slowly yet deliberately accelerating my 3.8L V6, 250 horsepower, 253 lb.-ft. torque, DOHC 24 valve engine (I have no idea what any of that means. I just copied it from the Hyundai website).

Without appearing to be intentional (I think), I reached other side of the intersection first and they may very well still be choking on my suburban mom minivan dust…

I know...I know...I need professional help.

But it was fun.
