Because

I went out just now and took my car for a drive. You know why? Because it was there.

Now that the break-in period for the engine is over, I can drive it with fewer boundaries. It’s great fun and I am starting to feel like I am getting used to it. The harder I push it, the more comfortable I feel in it. I was a bit disappointed not to be able to take it up to my PopTech meeting in Maine this weekend, but the loaner Corolla from Clair delivered a solid second-place performance. Hell, at least I saved a few bucks on gas.

Made my flight and hotel reservations for my New Year’s trip to SC and also received a tentative schedule for the event. I am very much looking forward to the whole thing - seeing some old friends and making new ones. If it’s half as good as Monterey was, I’ll be thrilled.
