Existence Womb (87)

   
   "Existence Womb (87)"
   
   When Buck had the sweet serendipity of stumbling across an old cooter wanting to depart with his Boss 429, he drooled through his fangs; indeed, while preferring the small block--its mercurial bang out of the gates, he had really been in love with piloting the low-flying SS with the 350.  Thus, he bought the beat up Boss 429.
   Throughout the summer, Miriam and Buck restored the massive motor and the exterior of the car, painting it a fuchsia hue.  And Buck knew:  He should give the classic hot rod to Miriam.
   It wasn't that fast off the line, doing 60 in about seven seconds; however, being built for ultra-high speed cruising, the thing could run with NASCAR on the tracks, almost.  And he knew Miriam would never open up the massive four barrel to such intense top speeds; thus, he gifted it to her.
   She was so happy.  Blushed--it matching the sparkly paint job of the car.  And how could a teenager not want to brag a bit?  To manifest that spirit of bravado, saying:  "Mine is better than yours."
   Therefore, Miriam blurted to Buck:  "I got more motor than you wolfman."
   Buck grinned, knowing it was all in the fun spirit of the V-8 motor, and the glee that it brought to us well-preserved Americans.
