The car that made Flash famous

The car that made Flash famous On a cold DEC night after Christmas the GASYOAS Lincoln and the Hula girl were just minding their own business keeping warm in a church parking lot. When along came a homeless guy that needed a girl friend reel bad. Without even asking he forced his way in the car and along with the shaking Hula Girl was gone in 60 seconds. This was a pretty clever homeless guy, he unloaded all of Flash's worldly possessions and made enough for a couple tanks of gas and a new wardrobe down at the local Salvation Army. In his Glee in obtaining a new ride and some really sporty clothes he decided to treat himself and his new love to a bottle of Boone's Farm. As he indulged he found that the Hula Girl was still really afraid and wouldn't drink. All she did was shake. It is now New Years eve 2000 and our shady homeless friend still has not managed to get the beautiful Hula girl to talk to him. In his frustration he took what little funds remaining to bring in the new year just the right way and acquired a bottle, from the cellars of Thunderbird, this was nice since the price was only 60 twice and he would certainly have all the right moves down now to win over his beloved Hula Girl. Still she wouldn't talk or drink and refused to ride in the front seat with our shady homeless friend. Off into the darkness he drove, his new wheels straining from the 35 MPH top speed that he could obtain due to clogged catalytic converters. During his idle time he would stop and gulp his T Bird and marvel at his Lincoln. Between idle time just before midnight as his joy was just about to gush over the incoming new year he passed a sleepy but still alert Macomb County Deputy who noticed the Hula Girl in the back waiving for help, at least this is what he thought. It just didn't seem right to him a girl dressed in a Hula outfit in Michigan in January so he decided that it would be reasonable to pull over the Lincoln and get to the bottom of this. To his great surprise when he turned on his lights the big Link just continued on down the road at a blistering 35 MPH rate of speed. The thought had crossed the deputy's mind that he may become as famous as Mark Furman if he could just get this low speed chase on video. Sure enough that is exactly what happened and as the chase unfolded and a host of Sheriff's cars crept south on Van Dyke towards the Friendly Detroit City limit they could wait no longer as they looked in through the back window at the shaking Hula Girl. They, the Deputy's knew that quick aggressive action was needed to bring this slow moving situation to an end. So ram the Lincoln they did, from the back from the right side, from the left side and finally in the front bringing it, the Homeless and the Hula to a halt. This was all done at quite an expense, three busted up county cars, road clean up from the broken glass, pieces of Cop car and T-Bird all over Van Dyke. This must have been a pretty uneventful New Years because every TV station in Detroit was broadcasting the slower than O.J. chase. It was a windfall for Flash, although he lost 1000 dollars worth of tools, the eight hundred he had invested in the car, had to pay for towing and storage, he got a new wardrobe and his beloved Hula girl back, although she still shakes. It just goes to show ya, good guys always take it in the end. As for the homeless? Well he got to spend New Years cozy and warm as a Guest of the Sheriff. And to the Deputy's dismay, no book deal no high profile court case with judge Ito, he only got a small piece on the local news for arresting the first Drunk Driver of the New Year and was never heard of again. The county? they learned their lesson and will now pass out new Shopping carts and blankets to the Homeless, it is much cheaper than tearing up three cop cars just to house a Homeless guy. The Hula girl? Well she was a star and a hero and continues to bobble throughout the Midwest and Canada. The GASYOAS Lincoln was towed off into the sunset never to be seen again. Remember GASYOAS stories may be boring but living the adventure never is.
