Most of you probabaly don't need this advice, but I have to say it. Take your car out for a drive on some nice winding roads once and a while. Turn the radio off (I personally don't have to worry about this as I'm still rocking the radio-delete), and roll down the windows. Don't push yourself too hard, its not a race, just feel the gees as you pull through turns. The suby, when meshed with a driver is a really awesome thing to experience.

I just drove out to Bodega bay this evening with a friend, after stoping by the PINO meet. I needed to drop him back off in Healdsburg, so we decided to take the less traveled way home. Ignoring (or not remembering) the recently given advice on which road would get back to Healdsburg, we picked a random crazy winding grade that went in the correct general direction. Considering it was night, and an unknown road, I was by no means pushing myself and it was still wrc intense. An hour and a half later, by the end of the drive, I felt I knew my car better.

Anyways this is probably comming off really sappy or cracked out as its 2 am while I come of an adrenaline high, but seriously folks, put your car in its element and watch it kick ***. A good drive can really make up for all the time you spend stuck in traffic on the 101, or getting cut off by lifted suvs.

 

lol sure it is fun but safety first =]

 

Indeed, I always wear a condom.

Reminds me of that one scene in "40-Year-Old Virgin":

"Do you have protection?"

"You mean a gun?"

i take this advice to heart almost every weekend, just go along Woodside Rd to 1, and head south......

yeah, tehres some traffic sometimes, but its the drive thats supposed to relax you, not pushing your car...
