Well, got done what I needed to do at work today.

Getting out in a couple hours and then hitting the gym.

GF making homemade eggplant parm at my place, so it will be waiting for me when I get home.

It's also super humid again. I love AC. And my desk fan.

Cheers.

Coach

I didn't try pushing it too hard, just in case the wheels fell off or something, but after a few miles I gunned it a couple of times. It still goes!

I know it's not the same car, but I would urge you to consider running some cases of Coors from Texarkana to Atlanta and let us know how it goes.
