No I'm not. I can't. It's just so freakin' cool! But I'll give an example of it's coolness. I was driving to work this morning, going down Old Spicewood, which is a really curvy road. Unfortunately, there was a dufus in front of me going literally 10 mph under the speed limit. I decided I needed to get around him, but I'm not stupid enough to pass him on Old Spicewood. There's too many curves, and it's a pretty narrow road. So when I got to the cut-through that goes under 360, I took it, hoping I would end up in front of him when I got on the other side. The cut through is pretty curvy too, and the car handled like a dream (compared to my Jeep...don't get me wrong, it's no race car). When you turn on Spicewood from the cut-through, there is immediately a huge hill. I could floor it in my Jeep and maintain some sort of speed, but it was never pretty. In the Maxima...I just gave it a little gas, and I was cruising along...accelerating up the hill (until I came up on the next slow truck...what's with these people, anyway?).
Needless to say, I am going to have a LOT of fun driving it. Here's a couple of pics of it. They were taken before I got the windows tinted. It looks even better now. Unfortunately, I was so busy yesterday, that I didn't get a chance to take any pics of it before it got dark. I'll try to tonight.
cute! so you're driving for Ellen's lunch tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteVery nice car, Carole! Hope you continue to enjoy it. When did you finally get rid of the Spyder, anyway?
ReplyDeleteAlso, did the doofus in front of you happen to be sporting TN license plates? These people are the slowest drivers I have ever seen. And don't get me going on the ultra slow right turns. We call it the "TN turn". It's a wonder how I haven't purposefully rammed anyone yet, and I'm a fairly chill individual.
Brian, remind me to never come visit you! I'd go insane. I got rid of the spyder just before it went out of warranty, which, coincidentally, was just after they had to put a new engine in it. I decided it was time. :-) I bought a jeep after that, and kept it until I got this car. Hopefully this one will be as long-lasting as the jeep!
