Default Sideways and the little black.......

It was a sunny morning with Casterdog in the passenger seat and testosterone powered hot cars were going around us on both sides at better than 100 mph.

WTF, I can't drive 65, No cops around.

We popped into the carpool lane and rapidly caught up with the pack.

They were slowing down and speeding up running two or three wide in spurts of acceleration. My favorite game.


The players included two boosted Corvettes, an 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series with the V-12 twin turbo and several other very quick cars. Being in the car pool lane there was no traffic to contend with and I was able to pull with one or more of them about a dozen times without weaving in and out of traffic like they were doing.

We covered 9 miles in about 4 minutes and I missed my turnoff.

I ran with the AMG on three occasions from about 70mph and pulled on him each time.


What can I say, good friends, fast cars, warm sun and another fun winter day.......

I agree nothing more pleasurable then taking the S (top down) for a spin after a fresh wash n' wax in the afternoon glow of the summer

I am growing so very tired of this miserable weather.............

Just wanted to throw it out there that I got a horrible sunburn out at a car meet yesterday.

Nice kills, good post! You really need to buy Casterdog a video camera!
