Being locked up in the house, to keep from going crazy, I’ve been sneaking out and going for some drives. Very therapeutic.

Here I am after returning from today’s therapy session.

I have several methods of therapy to occupy my brain when shut in the house.
When it's nice outside!

Even though MD is in lock down, I never been a conformist on anything. Took the vert out today for the weekly charge that included stops at two liquor stores and grocery. The ride lasted about 45 minutes. Just in case I was pulled over for not obeying, I was ready with my trusted recorder for the conversation.

That is some stereo set up, I bet the walls and curtains start flying, I have one that made the curtains move from the vibration from my Macintosh!

No offense Jim, but holy crap you are tall. I couldn't even imagine owning a Corvette and being that tall.

Great looking car and I know of many that have been going out on drives as a stress relief or a boredom relief.

I am have been working on mine instead of driving it.

No offense taken. I'm 6'3" and 255 lbs. Getting in and out is a challenge. My wife is always amused when I try to get in and out of the car. Fortunately, I'm very comfortable when I'm in the car.
