Adrenaline Rush
With a twist of the wrist
I turn the key
Right foot on the gas
Let that six pack breathe
The beast awakens
With a mischievous growl
Drop the clutch in first gear
And hear that Mopar howl
Crusin’ slow
Lookin’ lean
Wheels rollin’
Like a star it gleams
On the radio
The Rock & Roll plays
Taking me back
To select younger days
A direct connection
Between body and machine
That Pistol Grip Shifter
So smooth and clean
I hear the dual exhaust
Music to my ears
Still sounds so great
Even after all these years
Shifting through the gears
Feel that power pull
Being pushed back in the seat
Adrenaline rush on full
My pulse quickens
As the guitars wail
Shift into forth gear
Now I’m haulin’ the mail

Love this! I'm not even from this time period but I love older cars! I'd rather own a classic than a new one anyday! Especially one as nice as this. Your poem did it justice! Wow.
Thanks Christina, I had 2 Plymouth 'cudas back in the day. Kickin' myself now for selling them.
Wonderful piece, AP!
Thanks PB. Glad you enjoyed it.
Brings back some memories... good ones
Thanks Bill. I've always been a car guy and I wish I still had my 'cudas.
That beautiful '72 Cuda would bring big bucks at auction today, for sure! Great poem paying tribute to the muscle-car era, AP.
Thanks Louis. Wish I still had my '72 'cuda. The most fun car to drive I've ever owned.
What a ride, adrenaline stimulating experience.
Thanks m&m. If you could sit in it for a ride, you'd be amazed of how quick it accelerates.
Great, great poem, AP! The exhilaration of speed. Nothing beats it, be it in a car, on a motorcycle, or downhill skiing. And you captured it beautifully!
Thank you Fred. One thing I'm very passionate about is old muscle cars. Especially Plymouth 'cuda 4 speeds.
I really enjoyed reading this AP!
I'm glad you enjoyed it sky
Wow AP! I could hear those ponies roar!
Thanks WC. Feel that power pull.
Good write AP, I felt as though I was beside you in that car feeling the rush and listing to rock n' roll.
We're crusin' Goldie. ; )
