I'm typically an early riser and will take cruises on Saturday and Sunday mornings before the wife and kids wake up.

The other benefit is no traffic to slow me down.....

The Vette is the only car I've ever had that I can wake up at 3:00am and will go on a 30 mile cruise on a curvy country road with the windows down and the almost booming radio system. I love it. The cops probably think I'm out doing something illegal.

I say to wifey ( #2) "I'm going bye-byes"
Wifey says "Another head clearing joy ride?"
I say "Yep"
Wifey says "How long this time"
I say "About 1/4 of a tank"
Wifey says "Try to keep it under 100 this time"
I say "Yep"
