Friday drive...

[Magnified]

Had one of my sons go with me yesterday to run some errands in the Charger. Car is still all the fun it has always been. There's a place here where you take a right onto a 5 lane undivided highway in front of the VA Hospital and there's a slight rise about an 8th of a mile long there. There's a right turn curved lane with an island but the traffic is so heavy on the 5 lane that you usually have to stop and look over your shoulder for a clear spot. They've just repaved here and did not use the standard high-temp west texas asphalt mix, but a much more sticky concoction. I can launch / hook here (even with the old standard mix) better than almost anywhere else. And he and I did (again). Only zero to about 45-50, but the G is pretty high. I chuckled as I let off and from his car seat in the back he laughed and said it gives him a tickling sensation in his stomach. Such moments are a great pleasure to me. Hope your ride, and other things in your life, give you those small feelings of happiness and satisfaction too.

Great story...sharing the same with my kids..."punch it" as he says. Good times and great memories...I know my kids will always remember the Hellcat.
