Well, this will be my first mindless/pointless/not-attempting-to-be-meaningful entry in some time.
Went up to Phoenix with Travis and my brother and some friends and went to the drag strip. I ran a 15.4 quarter mile (could have done better but they closed early). That's the best that car can perform stock, period. I could have done better if the track wasn't so front wheel drive prejudice. I did Pretty good for someone who's never run their car before. Twas fun. Nothing like driving on an empty strip. No cars in your way, no cops, no hazards. Nothing.
Got pulled over on the way home covering my brothers speeding ass. We both had the cruise control set at 95mph. hehehe. I made it so the cop had to pull off into an exit to follow me and couldn't get my brother too since he was ahead of me and didn't take the exit. The officer could have cited me for wreckless driving and criminal speeding. But he was cool and cut me a small break and just gave me speeding. $124. Not terrible. My brother is splitting it with me. I drove away rather content for someone who just got a speeding ticket at 1am. Kind of like the cop saved me from some ultimatly worse fate. Nevertheless, I see how calming driving not-so-fast can be when its late and night and the traffic is light. With cruise control.
I just don't really care. It's too cold to care.
