Default Hopelessly addicted

I gave up smoking years ago! That was easy!! Now I'm addicted to driving my 07 M6!! I'm having trouble fighting the urge to just go for a spin. I live in the country, Michigan, the nearest of the two stoplights in the entire county is 20 miles away. What to do, give the car another coat of spray wax or go for a spin??? Aww heck, I'll wax and then spin and make sure the two stoplights are working

No wax gives you even MORE time to drive.

I really suspect you have plenty of addicts here to keep you company. My favorite excuse for a spin is to go check the level of the local reservior! Been a dry summer ya know....
