New Cycle New Life

got to the station before the tank became empty the gauge had been falling for quite some time need a replacement with a turbo valve which is a trendy get rid of this old pump which is a real lime. the fuel in the tank is much like the ol’ days sluggish and stalls when I drive in high gear no pep in my step, the throttle sticks and stays plenty of smoke stifling me I choke with fear in and out of the shop so many of my trips titrating the octane to get the most thrust hook up to the pacer tracer to see the engine drips am told my crankcase is clogged but won’t combust. had been hoping to drive down victory lane scan the waves of those classy cars now with plenty of grime and strain I just idle under those million of stars. an overhaul would surely make me glow run with an ejection fracture of over 60 percent glide to the tune of ‘go daddy go’ getting out of this mud and descent new filters and gas lines connecting all boosting up my compression horsepower never to sputter again and stall will make good time during the rush hour will need to get a spot n the garage match up my specs with spotty new parts do the sponge count and then a massage RPM’s steady, all is a go on the charts. tachs are perfect, no signs of fault transferring now to air valve inlets open chambers slowly and do not halt at first turn over, place your bets cheers from the side lines all is well engine purring no pings or dings successful transfer just listen to the bell shifting gears to route 66, freedom now rings analogy of "a new heart"
