Default I was late for work!

I woke up at 8 am, i had to be at work at 8 am. That's a Problem. Shower and throw some clothes on -- grab the keys. Start up the car drive like a mad man get to work in 8 minutes.

Arrived at 8:15. Thanks Porsche!

No, no... it was real, he was just stating that it was a 14 min drive, and that the 'OLe 951 was reliable enough to make it happen in the same time frame just like everyday! ROFL

Sometimes I do that and I shave about 10 minutes off of a 30 minute drive.

Most of the time, I could be driving a 2CV or a McLaren and it wouldn't make any difference because Miami drivers think it's really, really fun to drive as slow as a 2CV while lined up door-to-door on the highway.

You guys are funny. But yea, sometimes I drive like I stole it and needless to say I got to where I need to go pretty quickly. Most of the time though, I drive like an old geezer on the right lane- that's right, that's how I roll.

As good as the P-Cars are, they will never get through traffic like a motorcycle.

And as agile as motorcycles are, they'll never avoid traffic...and the limitations of roads, entirely...like aircraft

Oh I really miss flying

There ain't to many landing strips at work. LOL....

I agree with the motorcycle comment. Borrowed a friends to work on it to find a problem. He asked me to. Drove into work through traffic like I used to. Around 100mph while others are hitting 30 on the interstate. On turns it wanted to stand up at 120. 954 honda. Found a low tire. He said keep riding it. So, I did for a week. Then, told him to come get it or I was going to end up in jail. 45min morning drive in about 15min. Bad traffic in one spot always to a stand still. Unless you split lanes.

Love bikes, now i'm older and wiser. I still run with the big boys but now I don't have to win. I ride clean up, and funny how I still can take turns and watch them slide to the outside while I'm sticking the inside line. At the same speed and I slow for the exit as they've slowed to keep from going off the edge..lol

But, there faster...LOL...

Smooth is glue..

enjoy it while it lasts... around here, I'm lucky to find some open road before 7am. after that it's just idiots on cellphones cruising in the left lane, pretty much all day. sometimes I wonder why I even own a fast car.

Because you're hopelessly optimistic. You probably vote, and follow the Cleveland Indians, too.

Goddamn you, Jose Mesa.

Triumph TR6. If you have the ***** and good fortune to make it up to 70 mph, you'll feel like you're trying to break the sound barrier in a biplane

Damn fun cars to drive
