A great day for a drive. 70 degree morning in July in Virginia is not common.

VERY nice. And good times with your beautiful wife.

I told my sweet wife a few years ago, that these cars are the perfect relationship vehicle. Top off, wind blowing in hair, sun-enjoying, occasional rapid acceleration, talk time. And I teased, "if you ever say something I don't like to hear, I just press the accelerator a little more and enjoy the deep purr of the V-8. ... and just shake my head yes."

Nice video but would rather hear the music of your engine than the tunes

Thanks Ron for the sunny drive. Too much traffic, this reminded me why I turned down the promotion and move to your neighborhood. Liked the Calexico tune

what did you use to mount the camera?

How long of a drive was that? About an hour?

I would love to do that here in miami, but nothing other than traffic
