Sheila Ryan talks about Elvis and his Pantera sports car.
One time we went for a ride in the yellow Pantera and I was petrified. I was worried because he didn't drive that often. We were always in a limousine.
It was late and dark and we were on the mississippi interstate. Elvis was driving. It was just the two of us. And we were going seventy-five and I'm thinking, okay, I can deal with seventy-five. Then eighty-five and ninety-five and a hundred And thirty. We were going a hundred and thirty. Then elvis says, "here, you take the wheel." And he takes his hands off and I was like, "please, that's not funny. Please." I was begging him. I was really scared. She laughs.
It was a side of him I didn't see often. Carefree. He wasn't on the job. He wasn't working. He was just having a good time. When I saw those gates with the musical notes on them, I was really happy to be back.
Letme know what you think!! xoxo
