Just Right…

Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 04/28/2010

Imagine driving home from the daily grind- Traffic is wearing you a little thin, the sun is at that point where it’s in your eyes but the visor wont block it, you haven’t eaten in a while. Traffic lets up a little and you think you’re home-free. That’s when you look in your rear-view mirror and see Billy Powell hammering the throttle on his ‘36 3 window and drifting over to the next lane to pass. He’s smiling. His day could’ve been awesome. It could’ve been bad. But he knows that his drive home is always gonna rule…
