I read that sleeping in that spot has been associated with odd disparate medical anomalies later in life...

My story lists the VW Bug as the People's Car, not the Speedster.

No matter; this brings me to the next step in my crooked evolution. The Triumph was sold by 1963. We were still living in Sierra Madre California off of Laurel St., as depicted up in that picky. So he had this black Speedster, just like the one Eddie Murphy drove in Beverly Hills Cop.

this photograph is just a dramatization


The memory I depicted in the Volkswagen was from two years of age. Next year, at three years old, Rodger and I are tooling around town near the beach. He liked to take me Will Rogers State Beach.

Will Rogers ... are we starting to get the picture here?

So, he's tooling around while I'm lying low in the front of the Porsche all swaddled up in soft baby blue blankets with the seat removed and as he's looking for parking, some greaser is crossing the street with one of those duck butt hair jobs just like Warren Harding wore; I remember the dude too ... It may actually been Warren Harding. So I popped my head up over the low-slung door of that black beauty right into the street and spied this guy jaywalking and he's wearing lineman's boots. "Wow look at those boots!" I blurt out in a rapture of avarice, pining for them black beauties with the buckle down low over the instep and the other up high just showing beneath his cuffed blue jeans.

Rodge, as his friends call him, says to this day the dude turned five shades of red having received the adulation of a three-year-old!

Next adventure in the Porsche, when I was four, was a trip out to the desert. We stopped on the way so I could eat my Lucky Charms out of a translucent square Tupperware. I wasn't digging it so much because the milk was warm and the colored marshmallows were a bit soggy. Bigger problems lay just ahead however: Car Trouble. Luckily there was one of those anachronistic soda shacks nearby with some hicks keeping the patrons entertained by handing out soda pops and selling us tokens for the automated miniature bowling alley. I played with that number for a couple of hours.

I remember the hillbillies had a little kid that was about a year older than me and it was real hot outside in the desert so she was lying face down on the cool linoleum floor with flies buzzing around her ass.

Later in the afternoon the tow truck finally came to snag the Speedster and Rodger hailed a motorcyclist who gave us a ride all the way back to wherever, I don't believe we got all the way home as a threesome on the motorcycle, but I was riding right up on the gas tank while Rodger was on the back of the bike behind the rider. So I guess that was my first motorcycle experience too; I don't member the brand, I fancy that it was and English bike but I remember it had a black gas tank made of hard steel of course. It all starts adding up if you think about it.

Wow, now it all comes into focus, the one question being west or east Laurel?
Back then it prolly didn't matter but now it does, especially if you're
buying real estate. ;-)

If'n you can't resist the itch for a trad Porsche but would prefer one that stops,
among other niceties, check out Magnus 'Urban Outlaw' Walker:

But, Tarbuster, why were we separated so early?
