I don't know who sang it, but the car was a 'Vette, and the girl was a
brunette.  And the gas station attendant had her in 1963.  I am sure that
Dan N can tell us who sang it, I am thinking Waylon Jennings??

I only envy her truck because it is bigger than mine.  I don't envy her
gas mileage, but in a way, I envy the dual exhaust when she pulls up....
As soon as the Scout is running and in an acceptable roadworthy condition
(both mechanical and in looks *grin*) I won't have that envy.  Matter of
fact, I think that I will definately be able to go more places than she
can.  Wait, I know I can.  I can get into the Badlands, she can't.
Hahahaha.  The Badlands are about 45 minutes from me, there was a story on
them a couple of months ago in FourWheeler mag.  


Dan Felix - with one more digest to go before I am *completely* caught up!
