The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 01, 2023

They see a Yugo as fitting, not a red Ferrari.

Sure, Toby. It’ll go great with the flames tattooed on your neck.

AMC Gremlin seems more his speed.

And so his friends never talked to him again…

They’re going to the racetrack and leaving him and his two-wheeled tricycle behind.

I don’t see why a “red Ferrari” would be that far off. Flashy, useless and unreliable. Sounds like Toby.

OK, I’ll buy it. A rusted-out Red Ferrari body, up on blocks in a horribly ratty front yard… ☺

Should they return the tungsten gray Austim Martin DBS?

Right now they can’t even see him as a go-kart.

Give it up Toby, ain’t no way you a “Red Fararri” Red Farina, mebbe…

The other three are good. A class 57 Chevy. One plain wrapper with state of the arts 808s. A good clean electric. But Toby as a red Italian classic. No…simply no. A Dodge with a hemi maybe.

More like a red Pinto.

OK, but why did he say yesterday, “Well, I’m glad ONE of you knows me”?? None of them said "red Ferrari.

Lack of flattery will get you nowhere.
