Not Ranked
I had only just pick up the car and was taking a friend out for a cruise and he asked if we could stop over at a dear friends home to give her a ride, she is going through breast cancer and the treatments of late have been very hard for her and her husband.
They are a car "nut" household so I knew they would enjoy seeing the car. we roll up and they come bounding out with smiles on their face's. I let it idle for a bit then shut it down.
We talk for a bit and then my friend extends the offer to her to take a ride. She declines stating that her body just could not take the bumps and all. Her brother was also with them and he goes nuts, "your turning down a ride in a peace of history", she says yes but thanks me anyway.
The brother, still bug eyed and drooling says, "hell I'd give my testicals for a car like this", to which I reach up to shake his hand and in the highest, squeaky voice I can muster say "ya man I know what your feeling".
All burst out in laughter and tears.
Up to that moment I'd not said anything at all.
