I can see them on the road ahead,
A hypnotic, bright and speeding light.
Baiting me to chase them,
But they drive faster than I do.

Shifting into second, I press on the gas,
Focused on its blazing trail.
Faster I go, time watches as I pass,
But my dreams drive faster cars.

Into third I charge, hoping,
Praying for my dreams to slow.
Further they sprint away from me,
Never stopping for gas.

Fourth gear now and still I fail,
Fail to catch my racing dreams.
Life slows my engine down,
And I no longer dash to keep up.

Will I ever catch them, who knows?
My dreams pull away out of reach.
My tank is empty and tyres flat,
And with my engine redlined, I race no more.

Yeah, quite a nice poem... and I'm not really one for poems, although I do like Edgar Allen Poe.

Doesn't matter how quick a car you have, someone always has one quicker, and no matter how quick you think it is when you buy it, within a couple of months you'd swear there was something wrong with it 'cos it doesn't feel quick at all

and then when you get in an old van again it feels like the breaks are on,
and all the zip , and the power, its all just gone
