Well news of that yellow car spread around town so fast. They were talking about it at the local cafe' and grocery store even before Grandma Lu could get home.
No one that lived in or close by Marlee's small town had a car like that. What a mess this was turning out to be.

She went in the living room where her husband was and asked him if he ever knew a Nat when he was driving a race car. Yes, Grandma Lu's husband used to drive a race car. His car's number was 52. When he retired from driving he gave his number to his son when he wanted to race a car.

Grandma Lu wasn't satisfied with his answer at all. She told him what Google had said about Nat. Oh he laughed. He said, "Well, if I remember right she always loved to drive Mustangs and drive fast! So now she's a race car driver, huh? I'll be jiggered."
Grandma Lu stomped her foot and shook her finger at her husband. She said with her outside voice, "If she drives a yellow Mustang, you had better do something about this. We can't have a race car driver pealing out on the parking lot down at Marleewood." With that she went to the kitchen and called Grandma B.
Grandma B did not agree with Grandma Lu at all. She thought a race car driver in their small town was so much fun to think about! She knew that it probably wasn't safe for a fast car to be on the parking lot, but she wasn't about to close down Marleewood. Sometimes Grandma Lu was just such a worry wart!
She and her son would spread the word about town just in case some crazy driver was being a nuisance.
She just smiled to herself wishing that she could drive a race car. How much fun would that be? She leaned back in her easy chair, closed her eyes and smiled.

She could almost hear the roar of the engines on the track. She could nearly smell the gas and burning rubber as the race cars spun their tires! Grandma B could feel her heart hammer in her chest. She was going to win. She just knew she was. She only had one other driver to beat. She could almost hear the crowd roar as she closed in on the other driver. She knew that checkered flag was just around that next curve. Then she saw those license plates in front of her. "Nats" No! No! No!
I wanted to drive in the Powder Puff Derby when I was a young mom. I was reminded that I had small children that needed me. So I didn't get to do it.
