I remember one Thanksgiving after stuffing our bellies full of turkey, mash potates and all the fixings,Frankie started telling all the family that were sitting around him about his...CAR! yes he loved it! he said "Tia you want to hear how loud it is? i said "not really!" and he said "well you will when I leave!" with a big smile on his face! and he didn't say buy --no all I heard was a loud rumble and as I looked out the door--all I saw was a hand waving out the window! Then to make his exit better--ya he burned rubber I think is what you call it?! clouds of stinky black smoke came from his tires and all I could think was-- Ay Muchacho! :) And yes I did think it was pretty cool! It seemed to be the way he left Abuelitas house because I remember him burning rubber and screaching down the street on many occasions after that! Now, when ever I haer a screaching car that is "burning rubber" I smile and think of Frankie and his big proud smile!
