Default Warm Day, Top Down, NPP

It's a warm, sunny day in FL and I did something I haven't done since I was a teenager. I went for a ride. Didn't need to go anywhere, just a ride. Had the top down and NPP open. I love it.

Can't beat that top down feeling with the rumble behind you.

Must be nice still waiting for the weather to break here so I can give it a go with the top off.

I drive to no particular destination once a week at least...now that the weather is good, a few of them have been top off now.

If i'm paying for it, I'm going to enjoy driving it without worrying about being on time, or what I have to do when I get somewhere.

Living on the edge of the Motherlode in California, there are just thousands of 2 lane twisty roads. Once or twice a week I just head out and go for an hour to an hour and a half just going down a fine counrty road with ZERO destination in mind. Find a cool country bar, have a beer and lunch, then turn the nav on and follow it home.
Ended up in a Biker bar today, but they had the absolute best BBQ and cold beer. Most of them were outside sharing Harley pointers, and when I pulled out (MTW open) everyone certainly had a grand look (probably my beautiful wife not the car)............ I am just head ove heals with this car. It's a quantum leap from my C4.
