So my friend calls me this morning from Carlisle. He is there with his twin sons (6 or 7 years i think)and they see the Garlits car with him there. Anyways, his one son has mild autism (which makes his mind work in ways no one can understand--quite brilliantly actually), and can be a riot sometimes by just being himself and not knowing it---this was one of those times....
My friends son Chris "hey, nice car"
Garlits "thank you"
Chris "smells to new---you drag race?"
Garlits "yes, i drag race"--now looking a bit bewildered
Chris --now looking at the car shaking his head back and forth , " well, it just looks to new " and walks off.
My friend had all he could do to burst out laughing. I know i did when he called and told me
Garlits Super stock Challenger $100k
Trip to carlisle $1k
Little kid poking fun at Garlits unknowingly--priceless
