Default nice drive

Today was a good day for a drive, The car is running good had the alignment done, The weather was no rain even but it was called for 60% chance, never did rain. Nice songs on the radio.. Time to let the car breathe a little. then one thing stopped all the fun. Those guys with blue lights were working hard today. They didnt get me but it sure did put a damper on things. I think its end of year budget time. So the best thing to do is park the car and wash it.
How many have had that happen?

Just drove mine 500 miles Friday and saw few LEOs out between BFE AL and 260 miles of I 10. Bought some no ethanol in Alabama and dam near made it (probly woulda) the whole trip on that one tank. I drive like a Granny anyway so my bright red coupe garners little attention. It would be nice to drive a little more aggressively but with gas prices and yes Jim, the thin blue line keeps me puttering along. Living ten years in Bama taught me to never speed, wear my seatbelt, and always, always use my blinker.

It's hard to have fun in a car these days; always looking in the mirror and worrying about getting zapped. I'm glad I get a chance to get to the track often.

I drove my Grandfathers Torch Red C5 for a week. Way too much attention to me. On I95, I had Virginia State Troopers actually follow me for miles on multiple occasions. I'm glad I drive like a grandma though!

I like my white '93. Great color, fits the C4's quite well, and it doesn't attract too much attention from the red 'n blue
