Well, that was worth reading. Great writing and a hell of a way to start the day.

Describing a Ferrari exhaust note as "tinny metallic". Otherwise nice descriptive story.

That was beautifully written! Excellent story, well done.

You did however pretty much give away your unnamed road.

Lol nice writeup. Shame there aren't more posts like this nowadays. My favorite parts were:

It was a primal wail that crescendoed from a tenor to alto without warning. The kind of sound I imagine you'd get if you ripped the testicles off Optimus Prime. Like Satan's own garbage disposal.



I turned around, satisfied in how my day had started. What better way to open up a week with a nice drive and a McLaren? Okay, perhaps the guy actually driving the McLaren had a better combination of the two things.

Well...actually the entire last paragraph. Well written

That's about how I'd describe them, actually.
