I am going for a ride.
I am going for a ride. There is a pretty long stretch of asphalt not far from here that has no access for nearly 1mi. in either direction. I plan on doing a long, smokey, burnout. I also plan on seeing what my motor sounds like at 6K. I don't care what you think. It'll be OK. Just because you have a sad story doesn't mean I can't go have some responsible fun in my car.
Hmmm-well, crap, what happens if there happens to be somebody up there camping, and they decide to cross the road in the middle of the evening? What if some F-ing deer decides to move across the highway to greener grass? What if I am one of the 1 in 100,00 people that has a spontaneous blow-out? 1 in 1,000,000? What's it worth?
Take it easy Bro's.

I just drove a U-Haul through your area on my way down from WA. I was pressed for time this trip...I have a list of projects that keeps getting longer so I couldn't stop to visit. Have fun on the roads, but if you keep your speed down then you should be fine. If you want to go fast I guess there's PIR about 2 hours away.

10/4 on sometimes you just go to say" ".
go for that ride. 6000 rpm is nice with good pipes. if that no off ramp road is only 1/4 mile long, don't wait till the light turns green. leave on yellow! :smash:
