Default Just a crazy thought.

Driving on 27 North off of I-270 on my way to Jim's for the WAZOO get together, with Eagles CD blaring, I was intoxicated by the scenery and drifted back to my early years (My freshmen year was spent near the area and use to drive around similar roads back then).

Then, as I accelerated I remembered my first test drive of 91 that I ended up purchasing. I was captivated by the sound and the feel of the LT5. It was soooo smooth and quiet and yet soooo strong.

Then it dawned on me that if BB Chevy is a Ma Deuce (you know, the .50 cal.) then the LT5 is like a Mini Gun (.30 cal. Gatlin).

Wrecking havoc is similar but in a different sort of way.

Just a crazy thought...

Hey SC,

I understand what you mean. I like the sound and feel of the car under accelleration.

Next time you come up here, we will drive some great Carroll County country roads that I like.

Jim
