I have a story about Rr tracks that my sibs and I chuckle when we tell them. We had a dark green Plymouth, my parents bought second hand. The car was a prima donna such that sometimes it'll run smoothly, other times it just won't. One time, it was packed with us, 4 kids, mom and our family driver, Tony. I don't remember having seat belts, we were always packed like sardines. hehehe As we were crossing the tracks, P played dead in the middle of the tracks. Tony kept on trying to make it start and mom was getting antsy. The train was coming in less than 10 minutes. While mom was panicking, us kids were just giggling unmindful of death. We love to mimic mom when she panics. All of a sudden, in the nick of time, P started and we got to the other side unscathed. Moral lesson ~ don't buy a Plymouth(!?)
Whenever I see cartoons of one tied to Rrt, then saved by the hero before train comes, I say BTDT ; )
P.S.
@FastTrax, I beg your indulgence. Now back to regular programming.
