A daughter remembers the day Dad handed her the keys to his ’69 Camaro.
When Danny’s daughter was little, she sat on the garage step and watched him work on his Hugger Orange ’69 Camaro. Years later, when she got her learner’s permit, he surprised her by handing her the Camaro keys.
“I let the clutch out too fast. The car bucked and died. I thought Dad would take over. He smiled and said, ‘Clutch in, kiddo. Try again.’”
Hugger Orange paint, black stripes, a 327 with a Quadrajet, and learning stick with Dad.
His driving lesson became the encouragement she still hears whenever life takes another try.
“Clutch in, kiddo, try again” gave the song its title, chorus and emotional center.
She knew the sound of that 327 with the Quadrajet long before she was tall enough to reach the pedals. She would hand Dad the wrong wrench half the time, watch him wipe down the black vinyl top, and hear the Camaro start from halfway down the driveway.
When she got her learner’s permit, she expected to practice in Mom’s sedan. Danny dropped the Camaro keys into her palm and walked around to the passenger seat. She stalled it in the driveway, looked over and waited for him to switch places. He nodded toward the key and told her to try again.
The next time she felt the clutch catch. She gave it a little gas, made it into second gear and caught Dad grinning as they passed the mailbox. They only drove around the block. She talked about it for a week.
Years later, she stalled at a stoplight with a line of cars behind her. For a second, she could hear him beside her again saying, “Clutch in, kiddo. Try again.”
