I didn't really think about it, honestly. I was on a two-lane highway cursing about 60. I don't use that route often but I did remember that there was a hill coming up and that it goes down to one lane. I was pretty much right next to a massive dump-truck and I didn't want him in front of me going up that hill so I blipped it down into 4th and stomped the gas. The car took off like it used to could and all was well. I didn't see that truck again and it took a solid five minutes for the Subaru that was behind me to catch up after (sort of) doing the same thing.

Vtec in the morning, FTW.

what does enjoying your roadster in the AM have to do with getting older?

Test was over around lunch time in Columbia, MD. Left immediately from there. Didn’t reach Richmond, VA until 10 hours later. Fatigue set in from long nights studying and ended up sleeping in 1-2 hour naps along the route all night until arriving around breakfast the next day.

Yes. It was off and on (mostly off) all afternoon.

Seems to be okay this morning, though.
