The Carl Gene story

Ok, back by popular demand......

Carl Gene was a guy we grew up with in a little town called Mound City which was on the Ohio River in So Ill. He was a real nice guy, but slow if you know what I mean.

Anyway, it was a Friday night in the summer of '68, and as usual we were hanging out on a corner watching all the activities when Carl Gene pulls up in his '62 Impala. It was a dark blue 2Dr hardtop and actually pretty clean for a guy like Carl Gene. He pulled in and asked how we liked his "new" car. We said it was nice, but was it fast? He said it was REAL fast. I went over and opened the hood and saw a 283 2barrel. lol. There were a few chuckles, so he jumped in started it and revved it up a few times. I could hear noisey heat risers, exhaust leaks and a slight lifter tick (what's with the cars from So Ill with the "tick"?) I told him I didn't think his car was fast. We went back and forth for a few minutes and he finally pulled away.

We continued hanging out, and about 1/2 hour later Carl Gene drives by. I yelled out "GET ON IT!!!" This was Carl Gene's chance to prove to everybody how fast his car was, so he floored it and as it downshifted to low, red lights came out of nowhere. lol. Ol' Carl Gene was about to get busted by the City Sheriff. As we stood there in disbelief, thinking he'd pull over, he kept going! In fact you could see the taillights of the '62 and the '61 Galaxie Squad (with one Cherry on top) disappear out of town. We fell on the ground laughing!!!

We hung out for about another hour when a guy pulls up and said he saw Carl Gene pulled over about 7 miles north. He said Carl Gene was handcuffed and laying on the trunk of the '62. He asked what happened and Carl Gene said "MAN....I HAD HIM BUT I RAN OUT OF GAS!!!" :lol:
