Default Corvette Therapy ?

Went to work this morning and it was one thing after another. Whoever locked up friday when they hit the breakers they also hit an extra one and turned off the alarm system. So about 5 minutes after I get there and turn the lights on the alarm is going off. It didn't get much better either. Oh well lucky to have a job sometimes but when I came home went right out into the garage and fired up the Corvette and took it along with my four year old for a ride and turned an instant bad day into a good one. Anyone else take their Corvette for a ride when they're having a rotten day and find their mood suddenly changing ?

Sure, that's why I like to drive it to work. Instant gratification to come out after a long day and jump in it. Mine's more than just therapy, I think it's the only thing that keeps me just this side of complete insanity!

Yeah, these cars have that affect. Next best thing to driving the car is washing it.

Like 'the kid' I drive mine to/from work everyday. Sometimes I will take a 40 mile detour thru some really fun north Georgia mountain roads on the way home. Nothing like zipping thru the curves and loops. I feel fresh and revived by the time I pull into the driveway.

Back when I was married, I had a tried 85. If it was not for that car, I would have gotten divorced much sooner.

What is wook (see above)? Is that where they grow wookies? Must be an interesting job.

Take a run over to your local Waffle House and ask about the red vert that was there last week. I swear that waitress would have left with me if I had pressed the issue.
