NY Twin Turbo
All the good stuff.....Times 2.
I have been working a ridiculous amount of hours recently. I look forward to Sunday car shows and cruises because it gives me an excuse to drive the Buick. But recently, it's still hard for me to make it to these early shows. It seems my body and mind need more than 4 hours sleep at least one night a week.
So, today I said F*CK IT
The weather was absolutely perfect today. I din't go to any of the many shows being held in this area. Instead, I decided to drink a few additional cups of coffee this morning, then do a little food shopping, and then finally......just take the car out for a mid afternoon drive to nowhere.
I brought the lap-top as I always do. Did a data log. Then looked at it and saw that everything was perfect. Then I closed it up, unplugged it, and threw it on the floor in the back seat. And then.......I drove the shit out of it!
After all these years, this son of a bitch still scares the crap out of me! I mean, this bastard is stupid fast! It never stops pulling. I can't help to question, why does anyone NEED this?! 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and it seems it's never going to run out. I never even hit WOT. Trying my best not to break the tires loose. Just some good high speed pulls and some spirited driving on a nice highway. Careful to watch out for others safety and the known hot spots for the NY State Troopers. I achieved rock-star status instantly as pedestrians and fellow motorists take pictures and videos and wave the thumbs up.
I went home, made a big pot of fresh tomato sauce with chunks of beef, pork, and sausage. Served it over pappardelle. Ate until I almost burst. Had a glass of wine. Took a nap. Woke up and went to the waterfront with my love to feed the ducks and geese stale bread. Went home, watched Rick Steves European travel show on PBS. Now I'm going back to sleep.
I have to say, it was a good day.
