Quarantine drive to stay sane!

Anyone else going on daily runs to feel normal?

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Yep, been doing little tune up things here and there, and just driving around the canyons almost every day. Went out with my son the other evening and watched the sunset.

Treasure it. It doesn’t last forever. My wife and I are a year away from being empty nesters. Not sure where the time went. The silver lining in this virus situation is we’re all under the same roof again for maybe the last time.

We have our own little Autobahn happening on GA-400. There have been a record number of speeders in excess of 100mph and one was arrested for going something like 139.

I wonder how that conversation went?

cop: sir, do you know why I pulled you over?

driver: because I let you?

just kidding... I’m sure there was a knee to the back involved.

Also even though the traffic is a small fraction of what it normally is, somehow we have the same number of accidents. That is nuts.

Talked to some friends that live in areas up north where people often have vacation homes and the local police are cracking down on non-residents driving into the areas. One friend said the police were actually following people to see if they were going to where they claimed to own property. I guess they don’t want people from the urban areas bringing it to their counties. I’ve just been doing some local drives to test out the new Eibach sway bars.

I have Porsche exercise day every Tuesday. It's great, roads are clear, gas is cheap.

Tirwin, your comment can’t help but make me just a little sad, I have 2 in college now, both at home...
