Just got back from a small trip thru St louis and back. Traffic was awful. everybody was Christmas shopping or in a real hurry. Few were in a Christmas, or should I say Christian, mood.

Mostly Interstate driving with lots of trucks and SUV's and jerks that thought they were the reson the road was built.

My little wimpy NA roadster with a stick darted quickly and with vivid spirit thru the mess for three hours. What would have been a drudgery trip to deliver samples and meet clients was instead a lot of fun. Mostly in fifth gear, I had a great time.

I don't concern myself with the money I paid for my toy. I may not be worth much today, but I would pay that price again for the joy of today's experience. The only thing that would have made it better was if I put the top down, but at 23F, I wimped out.
