AHHHHHHH!
Today I finished up building some small DeLorean parts early and got them shipped out so Liz and I jumped in the SSR with TOP DOWN! We went for the 1st drive topless!!!! These trucks are SO MUCH FUN! The sun was out, the temp was in the high 70's, the exhaust was rumbling 1st Gear is alright, 2nd gear's out a sight, 3rd gear hold on tight, 4th gear...….., 5th gear...….THEN 6th!
Dang it we had fun! Headed south on Capital Blvd to Youngsville NC where we pulled to the left lane to turn & head back home.
We sat at the traffic light thru Green, Yellow, Red, Green, Yellow, Red with NO turn arrow. Way too much traffic from all those unlucky working people trying to get home after a long dayt. Anyway as it turned red again and the cross traffic had not moved I hit it! Turned left, hit 2nd gear and my wife panicked. She thought we pulled it up on 2 wheels like Joey Chitwood used to. Sorry to say all 4 tires were still on the pavement but the R just took off like a rocket. AND You're right, I'm still smiling!!!!!!!!!! Will be smiling till tomorrow when I get the Harley out for the 1st ride in a year. Thanks for listening folks.
