Mental note:
Getting into a car with “TC” may not be the smartest thing I’ve ever done…
So my buddy Jabroni and I are looking for a beater car to Rally-X, and as anyone who has ever driven down 7th Ave. S. near the lakeview district can attest, TC (bar owner, UAB supporter, many times over UAB grad, and many times over political candidate) has a isht ton of VW Beetles sitting in front of his bar in the Lakeview District.
I ran into TC last night at the “cease fire” meeting for District 3 and I asked him about buying one of his beaters for Rally-X.
So this afternoon, Jab and I stopped by TC’s bar in Lakeview to inspect a few VeeDubs. After explaining what we were looking for, TC decided to take us for a ride in one of his “Baja” style Beetles. The first one had a flat, but a quick trip around the block resulted in a freshly inflated tire with “I dunno, put about 10 more psi in it” lbs of air.
What happened next is something that I was absolutely not expecting. TC went down to 6th Ave, eyed an empty lot, switched off his lights, and proceeded to do donuts in the empty lot.
I’m
Not
Joking
After making his escape (back around the corner, one block away). We all loaded up in the other Baja Beetle (I was thinking surely one agricultural excursion in the middle of Lakeview was enough) and TC headed back for the lot.
Luckily for TC, he never had to switch off the lights on this one since it didn’t have any freaking lights!
Anyway, word to the wise… Don’t get in a car with TC, especially if it’s a Baja Beetle.
