Great day with Mike and Ruth and some other west end friends and visiting and rides in the Z. My old boss turns 80 today and he got in, rode around with me and enjoyed it. Ruth and Mike's two post college daughters were home and Ruth was totally involved with them so she looked at the car but it ended up with Mike riding with me. We zipped onto the interstate and ran it briefly up through three digits then went on a country 45 mph twisty two lane road at 75 and 85 where safe and enjoyed a cool but sunny day.

Nice day for a quiet set of Z uses. I am not fond of it when kids with some kind of POS Asian car they've put a gutted muffler on comes next to the car and tries to make you think they are hot stuff. I usually just blip it a little or ignore them entirely.

They aren't hot stuff though there are some cars which have surprising power. The Z tends to attract them though I don't think they have a clue what the "ZR-1" emlem means. Lots of Mustangs out there with twin exhausts who think they are BAD too. A few with 500 + hp are but most are more about thinking they are and driving 75 in a 60 zone..that's about it. I have seen some Saleen Mustangs and they are quick unless you have a 415 LT5
