last weekend i never really got a chance to run the car hard and see what she could do - when we left my house, i had a brief moment, but had to back out of it when it dawned on me that the thing was dead cold and redlining it was not a good idea - after all, it was 5:30 in the morning and i didn't even let it idle at my house for fear of waking the neighbors - i was consequently short-shifting and not really giving her all she had - after that it was a pretty sedate cruise all the way there and back
i had been driving the denali earlier today, as it was time for an oil change and drove it to and from the dealer
later in the day however, i had to run a couple of errands, and decided to take the 968 - i took off from the left turn lane of a light, turned the corner, and decided to stand on it to get around a slow poke car turning in front of me - i was stuffed into the seat as the car hurtled forward - an unavoidable involuntary grin spread across my face as i shifted quickly into second and blasted past 60 - all of this happened in a very few seconds, and was all as i was going UPHILL - i was nothing short of stunned
on the way back home, i played around some more, just in case i was merely feeling the difference between the 968 and the denali - nope - this thing is quick
i think i need to take her out and do some timed runs tomorrow - i am expecting some very nice numbers
it's fun to fall in love with your car all over again
