A sunday Drive

After driving the slow single cam beater for a week it was time to break out the hatchie for a spirited drive out in the backroads of Maryland and Delaware. I push the car out of the garage, clean it from top to bottom, and grab my favorite cd from the book and head out, strapped down in a 5 point racing harness securing myself deep in the MOMO bucket preparing for the drive of a lifetime.

The CD blarin on 273 as I find my way deeper and deeper into Marlyand an finally I find it. I look to my left and see the windiest, twistiest swirliest road. I stomp on the brakes, and make a quick U-turn at the next street. The Radio gets turned off as I shift into 2nd at 6000rpms. I take to the turns gear to gear as the red light flashes at 8000rpms telling me to shift. I slam gears hearing the engine whine taking my car up through the hills and around turns as if it was on a track. For a half hour it was up and around until i couldnt make my way back. I find the nearest road that leads towards 95, slow down, pop the cd back in and relax as I loosen up the seatbelt as I head back home.

7 exits into Maryland and 2 tolls later I arrive back at my house, the car safe in the garage...dirty from a hard day at work.
