What a great morning!
As the title says, what a morning. The morning was very overcast, so I just had the parking and driving (fog) lights on, you know, the cool look. 
Anyway I turned down this street right by the RenCen. Now picture a cement corridor between the RenCen and a parking garage. Smooth pavement. So I lock the trans in second and take her up to 30, then right as I go under a couple of pedestrian bridges I open her up to let the exhaust boom. Off the gas to listen to the burble and pops of the exhaust as I turn left at the light. Mean while this guy was crossing the at the corner, once he crossed he just stood there waiting for me (I was still a long way from the corner), as I got ready to turn I looked at the guy, he had a cool smirk on his face. Of course I had the same smirk! I can only imagine how nice it sounded outside with the exhaust bouncing off the buildings.
Then I pulled into the parking structure, drove up 4 levels setting off 2 car alarms.
What a way to start a Friday morning!
Forgot to mention the cut air lid!
