Default Wonderful day

just thought I'd share my experiences driving today! First off, little humidity and 55 degrees this am at 7 am. Driving my car with the top down, windscreen, heated seats on, smashing pumpkins on the radio and me just in my own little world driving on the interstate and thru town on my way to the office. I thought, wow, I love this car more and more every day and thanked the heaven above for giving me the opportunity to own one. I just could have driven forever!

on the way home, same thing...except I was behind a 997.1 S coupe in artic silver. I just admired the lines of the coupe from behind and we had a few miles of spirited driving until I turned off. then I was at Publix and the real world came back into play!

anyway, I just had to share that. you guys would appreciate the feeling the most!
Have you hugged your car today???

I can appreciate the sentiment. I have yet to climb into my 997 and not feel the love. I feel the same way about my 986.

Good stuff, which Pumpkins album? I've been sick the last two days and finally went for a drive tonight just to get some air. I swear it was therapeutic.

Mine too! Great minds think alike LOL. BTW, what is your speciality? I assume you're an MD from your handle. I'm derm.

I still remember the day back in the summer of 93 when "Siamese Dream" dropped. Phenomenal album.
