Default Perfect ride

I took the day off today.
Got up at 8:30, made some coffee and decided to take old girl for a ride. What's left of Tropical storm Nicole blew through Tuesday and pulled in some much cooler weather.
It is beautiful outside! I fired her up and decided to hit I-95 for a while.
As I"m cruising down the highway someone passed me from the other direction in a black C6. She didn't even make a notice of me but maybe they were rushing to work. I love it when big rigs give me the right of way so I can open her up and let her breath. Thank you Mr. truck driver...whoever you are. What a perfect ride today.
That was the only Corvette I saw on the road.
I'm so happy it's starting to cool off outside.
I didn't even turn the radio on...
I prefer to listen to the engine.
