Good morning boys and girls. Was down in NC playing golf this weekend and catching up on emails this morning. Which, more than likely, will be the high point of the upcoming week.
Hot Rod; If this was my only problem, recovery would be much easier. And, agreed, grew up in Ohio and am familiar enough with both the Pennsylvania and Ohio turnpikes to drive them blindfolded. Still an awesome drive, especially in the fall. And, went to the Cruise a few years ago when my niece got married (brother Tom, GT500, lives in Rochester Hills). It was really something to behold.
Scott; “Liked” “….or Grow a Pair”. Refer to the above as this is one of my many problems.
Scott; So, first, great pic. Second, how long after the rain did you need to wait for those tires to actually grip the road? Yes yes, mine “may” actually get wet some day, but … and here comes the “Grow a Pair” line again … I’m not sure I want to see how well my non-all-season Michelins perform when water is pooling on the turnpike. Nor am I sure I want to wait on the side of the road for the roads to dry well enough to continue the journey. I’m feeling a “pansy”, or worse, comment coming up shortly after this post.
Scott; Speaking from experience, and contrary to popular belief, being thrown in jail isn’t so bad. It’s the thought of the car resting in an impound lot that would make my stay intolerable.
Bill, Bill, Bill; I would flip that around a bit. Driving the car as infrequently as I do keeps this girlfriend nice and tight for the next time I drive her. And, I would not be so lucky if I were to take such a road trip. Once again, refer to the above as this is yet another of my many problems – if it weren’t for bad luck, I would have no luck at all.
Nathan; Obviously, you know Scott very well. If he does get his rear end thrown in jail, it does make the time go quicker if you have a friend along for the ride. Bill, the door is wide open.
601HP; I saw that in one of the Hagerty articles a while ago. Want to go in on half? Anyone else up for a fractional ownership deal?
Have a great week everyone.
