I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
when an XKE pulled up on the right
and rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
and challenged me then and there to a drag.
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine.
Let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine.
But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve.
Let's race all the way to
Dead Man's Curve."
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play.
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away.
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve."

The street was deserted late Friday night;
we were buggin' each other while we sat out the light.
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green;
you shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine.
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights,
and all the Jag could see were my six taillights.
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve,
But I pulled her out and there we were at
Dead Man's Curve. :D



THE BEACH BOYS WERE RICERS!

THE BEACH BOYS WERE RICERS!
What kind of cars did they have?

What kind of cars did they have?

Oh, come on.....that's easy :D


Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
She'll do a hundred and forty in the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)

She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that aint enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip, Daddy

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got


edit: Deuce coupe is a slang term used to refer to a 1932 Ford.

Nope, never heard of it.....

A great hot rod song by the Beach Boys. VW made a german version for the GTI years ago that was way cool (sub GTI for 409, I couldn't understand the rest). "My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409..."


She's real fine my 409
She's real fine my 409
My 409

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
For I knew there would be a time
(When I would buy a brand new 409

Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
Giddy up 409
Giddy up 409
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
409 ooooo


When I take her to the track she really shines
She always turns in the fastest times
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
409, 409, 409, 409

Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
Giddy up 409
Giddy up 409
Giddy up 40...

Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
Giddy up 409
Giddy up 409
409 409 409 409 409

Another Beach Boys...


Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down

It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool SHARKS standin" side by side
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
Were revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean

Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down

Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My Stingray is light the slicks are startin' to spin
But the four-thirteen's really diggin' in

Gotta be cool now power-shift here we go

Superstock Dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really startin' to go
To get the traction I'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' the machine's too much

Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood

Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down

My favorite - the little nash rambler and the hot rod lincoln bwahahaha

Now were doing 110 the little nash rambler pulled up beside me and asked Hey buddy how do you get this thing out of second gear...
