Default I feel good today...............

I feel good today just knowing that I'm driving what may be the fastest and most affordable (all stock) car on the planet. Any arguments?

Any car that was designed to go 174 mph for the entire fuel run is a thrill to drive.

I know what you mean. Mine is far from stock though.

I'll be taking mine out Saturday morning to the local Cars/Coffee event. I can't wait....

This morning it was in the low 40's. It should run STRONG Sat morning if its that cool ...

I feel good too! I just drove it to work this morning and it made me feel as though I was strapping into a jet fighter as I adjusted the HUD.

I love my car as much as anyone can love a "thing"

It is certainly a phrase that is both contextual and situational. In this case, I'm saying "I vigorously agree with the OP!"
