It's Friday night, cats and kittens, and yours truly is feelin' real gone daddy-o. Tonight's the night – date night! Now, I'm a family man, ya dig? Got the station wagon for the rugrats and soccer practice, but every once in a while, a fella needs to dust off his grooviest threads and remind his best gal why she fell for him in the first place. And that means cruisin' in style.
That's why my dazzler, my '21 Chevy Camaro, is shined up and ready to roll. Found her at West Hills Autoplex – they had a whole lotta sweet rides, and no squares allowed, just cool cats, hot rods and prices that help me save some bread. This one, she just called to me. Sleek Satin Steel Metallic, it had 335 HP 3.6L V6 DI engine had a purr that’d make a kitten jealous. The large moonroof helped created the perfect ambiance, 'cause that's how we do it on date night, the wind in our hair, the Bremerton city lights blurrin' by – what a gas!
"Oh, honey," Sandy says, her hand resting on my arm, "I just love this car. It makes me feel so young and free."
"You are young and free, doll face," I tell her, givin' her a wink. "And this beauty? She's a modern classic, just like you."
"Remember that time we cruised all of Whidby Island in it?" she laughs, her eyes sparkling. "The way the sun hit the water, as all our cares disappeared…"
"Yeah," I say, squeezin' her hand. "That was somethin' special. Just like tonight."
Tonight's destination? The Admiral Theatre, naturally. Now, that place is a real landmark, a slice of Bremerton history. Heard stories about it back in the day, a real picture palace, the place to be. They've got top-notch acts there, real class. Tonight, it's Matt Dusk, croonin' like Sinatra himself. We’re big fans.
We glide down the avenue, me and my honey, dressed to the nines. The Camaro hums along, smooth as a chocolate malt with its 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission. We pass by the old Roxy, rememberin' our first date. But tonight, the Admiral, it's more than just a theatre, it's a memory machine. They say it's been around since the fabulous forties, seen it all, from silent films to talkies, and now, it's hostin' cool cats like Matt Dusk. And when they've got the food service goin', oh boy, the grub is outta sight!
"This theatre," Sandy sighs, "it's just so… romantic. All the history, the velvet seats…"
"It's got character, that's for sure," I say. "Just like someone else I know." I nudge her playfully, and she giggles.
We park the Camaro, lookin' sharp as a tack, and head inside. The Admiral's all decked out in its vintage glory, a real time capsule. The show's a blast, Dusk was one groovie cat. We're swinging like sixteen again, and just plain havin' a ball.
"He's amazing!" Sandy whispers during a particularly smooth number. "Just like the old days."
"Yeah," I say, leanin' in close. "He's got the moves, but you know who's really got the moves?" I give her a playful look, and she laughs, blushing slightly.
The cruise back home is just as sweet. The city lights reflectin' off the Camaro's chrome accents, the music still playin' in our heads.
"You know," Sandy says, as we pull into the driveway, "I fall in love with you a little more every time we do this."
"Aw, shucks, Sandy," I say, grinnin'. "You know I feel the same way about you. You're my best gal, my everything."
Yeah, date night's a success. Just me, my baby, and the open road. It's a love story for the ages, baby, and the Camaro's right there in the middle of it all.
