   Whoah fucking awesome!   
      
   Not that it was necessarily what I was thinking of ... I am getting it in case   
   I have to get out of town, not to get around town.   
      
   Never been to Five Point and yet still have a somewhat painful memory of the   
   place just the same when I lost a grand on something I thought would be a slam   
   dunk. But then if I could drive I might have just put a crew together for   
   boy's night out.   
      
   Thank gawd saying I have an extra Who or Stones ticket for a safe and sober   
   driver is enough of a supercharge to get me from Pasadena to San Diego and   
   back.   
      
   Also when leaving a gig my balance and equilibrium are so obliterated I am the   
   most impaired person walking out even if I didn't consume a drop.   
      
   Maybe I will just go to the local dealership and see what's up.
