Afraid - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille Monday

This one's younger daughter Karen's car, it's
a 1982 or so Pine Wood Derby Racer
     
Bold Not 

My driving may scare you 
Bold I'm not nor reckless 
Tell the folk I'm not good
Good drivers don't scare 

Skillful's the word I use 
Fast and furious me 
Drove every car I've owned 
To see how fast it went  

Hundred sixty my top

YIKES! 160 mph? Don't think I'd be getting in a car with you....but your words are definitely bold!

The fastest I ever took a car was about 120 but it could have gone faster. I've also been in several car accidents over the years. Now it's slow and easy wins the race.

Sounds like a bold driver to me. Haha. Nicely done quadrille.

I don't think I want to be in a car with you going 160 mph! 🙂

100 mph is 160 kilometers per hour, I drove that for miles on the German Autobahn, traffic was going that fast in the left hand lane.
I've had my little black Mustang 150 and let it off, before I bought it that day.
