Driving and Bragging

They’ve done it again! The Panthers have won the Australian football championship for the third time in four years. I can’t believe it. I’ve been following this team for forty years and never thought I’d see a single championship win, let alone three. I’m literally shaking with excitement. I think it’s time to drive around the streets with a Panthers flag on top of my car and two scarves out the window, just to let the entire world know about my team’s latest, most epic win.

Thank goodness I got that car service near Malvern the other day, otherwise, my car wouldn’t be drivable. I needed urgent break repair by a qualified auto mechanic, and thankfully they got the job done just as efficiently as the Panthers did today. We absolutely thrashed the Moe Mice by five goals in an emphatic display, and I want everybody to know it. Maybe I should get some paint and write the final score on the side of my car.

Marty Dust won the medal for best player in the match, which makes it his third medal of that kind. Nobody has ever won three of them before, being the best player in a championship match three times, which officially makes Marty the greatest of all time. I should probably put that information on my car for everyone to see as well.

Alright, well it’s time to spend the next six hours driving about and bragging. I’ll play the Panthers’ song on my stereo and have the windows down. I just hope my car’s battery doesn’t die or something. I would be quite sad if the celebrations were cut short by a trip to an Elwood car service. The mechanic I saw the other day suggested that it would soon be time to replace the battery, but I figured it would be fine for a few more days. Now I’m starting to worry that was unwise. Oh well, we’ll see how I go. Go Panthers, you truly are a dynasty team now!
