Today, I drove 350 miles with the top down today.

Picked Eric up at Missouri State for the holiday break, drove part way back, then got too cold to continue. We had the heater on 5-bars, windows down (of course), both of us had our favorite hat on well after the sun went down.

nice. I am pleased with the Fuzions and I'm glad I bought them, now that I realise how boring driving the Camry is. There really is no such thing as the perfect tire. What pleases me most is the low price...if I burn them up, its like half the cost of the S02's I would recomend them to midwest owners as a DD tire and swap out the rims/tires with the softer stuff for track days.

Drove to Alton, IL with JoLee, yesterday. Found a business called "Chili Heads" and bought a ton of very hot stuff. Ate lunch at Fast Eddies. Very cheap, and tasty food!

Looks like rain tomorrow.

At one point i was getting on the highway after stoppin for gas a a black talon, with a turbo ( knew cuse it was loud as hell haha tune anyone?....... guess not) so i was in 2nd at like 45 and i waved my hand for him to go and he shrugged me off and tried to take off i let him get like a car and a half a head and he thought he was pullin on me, hehehe NO, so then i actually stepped on the gas and.... ROAR..... my car spoke up and flew up to him and past the look on his face was priceless . 0_0 i heard his puny exaughst drwoning to the sound of my beast and before he could shift into 5th i was gone and away in 4th his car a spot on my mirror, lol, (tired to wipe it away and thought ohh that was a car. hahaha after i got to 140 i decided to slowwwwwwww wayyyyyyy down and let him catch up he came next to me and with a humbled smile and the sign of peace he exited hahaha SIT DOWN, my bitch is unforgiving and oh yea shes a hardcore bitch, the kind that toys with u and messes with ur head cuse they know ull follow anyway haha oh my but i love my bitch

Be careful on the turnpike. Every once in a while hi-pos do patrol them. My radar detector picked one up the other day. Luckily, I wasn't exceeding the speed limit (well, at least not by much) and he was on the other side of the highway... in a marked Suburban.

One thing I did not mention about this trip:

We were about ready to exit Springfield to I-44 in heavy traffic. When the light turned green, I rolled (the exhaust note was likely louder than the typical car in that area) - so did the guy behind me. Then the person in front of me stopped. I slowed to <5 mph.

That's when the guy behind me bumped us. Got out the car, asked Eric to call home, and checked for damage. To my surprise, there was none (other than the previous bumper job I got in a parking lot - I think vbmarcus may be the only person who saw this on our last Hills run).

The guy offered all personal info, but I declined due to the apparent lack of damage.

Whew!
