Can life get any better?

So I'm driving home at dusk in the cab with the top down. The street lights are on and I have Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight blasting while I'm on the freeway.

Ahh yes, I know the feeling... it's even better when you have 500+ horses urging you to spool up that ball bearing turbo

Better than Phil Collins ??? That's a tough one ! How about:

Leonard Nimoy's The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins

or maybe

William Shatner sings Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Yes, Enjoy!

But it _could_ get better. For example, someone could give you a NART Spyder.

It wasn't bad here today either. I just did about 80 miles in horse farm country on my motorcycle. Sure was nice to have 60 deg. weather in late Jan., as I carved some twisties in the countryside.

Got back from a run about an hour ago...120 on a very straight and very rural road. Targa top off.

Not car related but I thought the same thing a little after Christmas.
Sat down to watch a collage playoff game with a good bottle of Calif. Zinfandel, a box of dark Sees chocolate, and a nice Dominican cigar.
