I do love a story. That's why I write them. Now, if I could get a publisher to like them as much as I do, I'd be rich. I've been collecting them for 40+ years. But car stories are the best. That truly looks the part, and I can tell you from years of farm work on my great-grandfather's and grandfather's farms, chickens do like a spot of their own, and they do decorate the same spot again and again, which looks just like that. Usually, they are so likely to go to the same spot, the s**t splatters line up with the rafters they have been sitting on.

In real life, I know where there is a 1959 El Camino Apache, or whatever the top of the line showboat was, surrounded by tall weeds, untouched for decades and forgotten. I have dreamed about that car for 20 years. I even researched that a Special Super Turbo Thrust V-8 348 cubic inch - 315 Horsepower- with triple 2 barrels will bolt right in, no matter what transmission you choose. Imagine that in a '59 El Camino! But there it sits, in a state that doesn't get rusted cars... I need to build a slot car of that dream.

[Retro Racer 44]

Wow! That El Camino should be rescued and restored. My first car was a used 59 Chev sedan, but I would have loved to get my hands on an El Camino. I have never seen a chicken pooped car, but thought it gave the idea pretty well.

HNY,

Barns in Georgia have pigeons, so it could be pigeon poop! your area may vary?

My eldest son lives in Athens, and he says the combination of seagulls and pigeons is pretty bad. They get seagulls when the storms at sea have been bad.

Far from done but just wanted to post an update :).

Looking good already!
