to the little gray-haired lady in the red trans am

When I saw your car pull up to the corner I leaned forward to catch a glimpse of the driver, because a red trans am circa 1979 catches my interest. I wanted to see if the driver had the right bravado to pull off such a car. I expected a mustached man in a muscle shirt, and I had distinct plans to peek at him without making eye contact. But it was you, little gray-haired lady, peering over the steering wheel. You're my new hero.



You inspire me. When I am old, not only shall I wear purple, but I may even drive an old red trans am.

That's great! My dream is to be driving an old 67' Ford Mustang.

So cute! Was she driving like so many old ladies do? Hunched forward white knuckling the wheel?

I can picture you in that. You could pull it off.
