Hey everyone you can respond to this if you want or you have similar feelings, I just got my DB Enth. a little more than 2 weeks ago, and i wake up and just want to go out for a spin. If i get bored I find myself not cutting on the tv or going to the pantry for a snack, I end up grabbing my keys and going on random pointless drives around the DFW area. This car is great and I am amazingly happy with all aspects of it, only minor details to complain about clanging seatbelt and window streaks on interior.

Hope you all have a great weekend and sorry for the random post but I just wanted to see if anyone else felt the way I do.

 

Sounds like a Mitsu commercial! Congrats on the car! I hope I can get one soon!

 

Come pick me up! I'd be happy going for a ride in another DB. I don't have mine yet, and my car is NOT fun to drive.

 

Yikes And this being said by a driver of the rare "8" series - Beemer!

 

Problem is I drive the little 3 series loaners more than I drive my car (VERY high maintenance). Every time I get in the car, I'm afraid something is going to break, so I worry and don't get to enjoy the drive.

 

Give me the directions SpeedRacer, i get bored quite often and end up drivin around so why not have a direction in my pointless wander of enjoyment

 

china clipper, did you guys meet for the z club at juans in richardson? I am interested in joining that's why i ask

 

I'm in Lewisville.

 

Pick me up too!

My Z's been in the shop for over a month now .

 

SpeedRacer ---I work in The Colony so it's not too much farther!!!

- what did you do to your Z that it's been in for a month?

 

I got rear ended...and parts are now on back-order from the dealership, so the shop has no idea when they're going to be able to fix it. Only 1 part needed!! Damn it.

 

You could always drive into Dallas to pick me up from work! lol

 

Hey man, if anything happens to your Z, it'll be the same exact way...since it's such a new car and all. Damn new cars! (sarcasm). I think I'm going to start driving around in a bubble when I get my Z back.

 

I hear that, I think I am losing weigh from all the walking I am doing due to parking 50 spaces from anything that resembles a car.

 

picked up my baby 8/02 and still feel the same way ( just wanna drive ). even though i'm stuck here in Frostbite Falls, N.J. where the temp. never rises above freezing.

 

OK I am off to do some drivin' Hope you guys have an awesome weekend and we need to set up another dallas meet!

 

Every day from Sept. 1st/02 (delivery date), to this day, I get that strong urge to go out for a drive without any destination in mind.

My girlfriend is already accustomed to the fact that every night, between 11pm - 1am, I go for a my nightly spin that lasts anywhere from 1-2.5hrs. Sometimes she goes, most often she stays home watching TV or sleeping and I go alone. She swears I have another girlfriend out there (how did she know THAT?!).

But honestly, I have so much fun driving this car that I try to find any excuse to go out for a spin. Glad to see I'm not alone!

I sure can relate to the urge!

I even found myself wishing it were a few more miles to and from work. Driving the Z is a real adrenaline rush! And I make up excuses to go drive somewhere on an "errand." When 4:00 p.m. rolls around at work, my mind starts to wander to thoughts of being able to slip behind the wheel and turn a few RPMs. Love the sound of the engine growl above 4,000 -- the Z is pure animal!

Yesterday, some young fool in a Sebring (obviously an automatic)thought he was hot stuff -- idiot was barely off the light spinning his wheels when I hit 60 and backed off. I didn't anticipate giving him a demo of power, but when I heard his tires squeal, I just mashed the gas to the floor and power shifted to second a little above 6K -- and I even had the VDC on...

Little dude shouldn't try to mess with this 54 year-old granny! In my younger days, I used to drag my '65 GTO -- bored & stroked triple deuce with a cam, Hurst close-ratio turning a 473 drag r&p (ran a 308 r&p on the street). Anyone old enough to remember "Little GTO"?
