Default I took the ZR-1 for a spin today

NOW!! I remember why i bought that car....
problem was i had the stereo goin, and i had
this cd in, and it made me exceed the posted speed
limit...In first gear, I'm ashamed of me self.
Little Duece Coupe strikes a nerve in my gas pedal
foot thing....

I'm jealous. Roads on the west side of the state still have so much salt on them, I won't get mine out yet. I'm just waiting for a good rain to wash the streets off.

Yeah, I hurried home with the idea of mebby getting out for a quick rip thru the gears yesterday. But, it started to rain, and I have 1-1/2 mile of dirt road (make that mud road now) before I get to the blacktop...[sigh] About the best I can do is sit in the cockpit and listen to the radio - mebby crank it up and let it run for a minute or so, but I'd rather not put that kinda wear on her. Sooo...buckled in with my eyes shut...the radio will have to do. Pathetic, I know.

Oh, to you other folks that live in warmer or at least dry climates (not Illinois)...count your blessings!!! I don't mind reading about your forrays tho. I (we) can live vicariously until spring, I guess.

I tried using that reasoning with the statie a few weeks ago....and well it didn't work....maybe it was the part when i said..."but sir everyone else seemed to be going so slow & there seemed to be no reason for it"....

These cars are evil......they make you think you can get out & walk faster....and that's at 80, man this is not good!
