Default A novel idea

So tonight after putting the kids to bed, I'm thinking about grabbing a beer out the fridge, sitting in front of the TV with my laptop, and seeing what's new on the auto forums.

Then I think to myself... instead of surfing the net why don't I actually go out and drive one of my cars for a change? Took out the C4 for its first real run of the season. It was perfect, windows open with a tiny bit of heat coming through. She ran real nice. Up and down some of the back roads in the dark. Even dodged a speed trap which gave me a nice adrenaline rush!

Gotta admit lately I've been wondering... why do I keep and maintain these cars when I barely have time to use them? After the 2nd time I "accidentally" chirped the tires between gears I remembered why. Fun night... and enjoying a Johnny Black w Soda now. Summer's great!

Thanks guys. I'm 2 for 2! Tonight brother-in-law needed a ride to go pick up his car at a dealer and I stepped up.

Had a nice little incident at a stoplight where it was 2 lanes merging into one. I was in left lane. Guy in the right lane tried to time the light, coast through, and beat me to the single lane. I'm sure you can guess what happened...

Cheap thrills but you gotta do it.
