Stop Your Motor Runnin’

Time to have serious fun with my blog!

I was sitting in the Starbucks drivethrough line up and even over the radio waves of Steppenwolf’s 70’s Anthem, Born To Be Wild; I noticed the soul in front of me shut their engine off while waiting for their coffee … so I shut mine off and I guess that is my first step to action to shut off my motor if I am going to be sitting longer than a minute.

I wonder which one of Arby’s, Burger King, MacDonald’s, Starbuck’s and Tim Horton’s; will close down their drivethoughs to save the environment … either that or improve the service to eliminate the lineups … either that or develop the Magic Carpet Ride, to heck with Hydrogen Cars … or just park and walk in the restaurant!

Here’s my take on the first verse of; Steppenwolf’s 70’s Anthem, Born To Be Wild;

Stop your motor runnin’
When you are sitting in the drive through
Lookin’ for your latte
And whatever burger comes your way
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire off your car ignition while waiting
So the atmosphere doesn’t explode into space

Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild
