Cars
Triumph Spitfire
Ford Thunderbird
I can honestly say, those are the only two cars I’ve ever truly took notice of, ever really cared about.
The Spitfire being my back in the day wish list vehicle,
& a burnt orange T-bird, my today dream
oh ! & a good friend of mine has built a couple of cars from scratch which I think is pretty darn cool !!
But, other than that ?
Cars + Me = meh
whatever
Until the Indianapolis 500 rolls around each year
& like an alarm sounding off in my brain
helloooooooo cars !!
Where did YOU come from and WHY have I not paid attention ?!?
History.
The history of it all hits me right smack dab in the heart every, single May.
Early days.
I always think, early days.
Founders.
Believers.
When you’re sitting on an idea and everybody you know stares at you with that same “SAY WHAT ?!?” face
& you hear the endlessly negative choir of ‘it can’t, it won’t’
Where dream and dreamer meet
& know
Oh Yes, It Can.
Oh Yes, It WILL
Carl G. Fisher
James A Allison
Frank H Wheeler
Arthur C Newby
Google them if you’d like to read a few interesting life stories today.
They are the pioneers who took that simple, some would say crazy idea of placing a racetrack in a cornfield 100 + years ago
&
WOW
wow
I’m glad they didn’t listen to their doubters.
They heard.
They followed.
They maintained and believed.
Next time someone tells you ‘it can’t be done” do me a favor and remember these men, their families and their uniqueness
& remind yourself it has,
It does.
It will.
IT CAN.
Dang !! I love a dream believer !!
Thanks for the yearly inspiration Indianapolis 500 !!
weeeeeee
& I would promise that I will absolutely notice cars beyond today but, I cannot tell a lie.
Cars + Me ?
meh
🙂
