My wife has been out of town for a few days and will return tomorrow evening. In the 2 days she's been gone, I sold my home gym and managed to get it out of the garage this evening. It is now living at another house where it will hopefully get more use. ANYWAYS, I finished cleaning out the garage so both cars could fit in there without hitting doors. It was 11:30pm and I went to pull the Z in for the night but once I got outside everything changed. It had been unusually hot the past 2 days so to my surprise the temp had dropped to a comfortable 67 degrees. I looked up to see the full moon with a few ghostly white clouds in the sky. The stars where shining bright. As I got in the car, I knew what I had to do. I fired it up with the windows already down and the exhaust was singing to me. Before I knew what was happening, I was blasting down the back roads of SC. It was amazing! There was fog everywhere but it was just above the roof line. It felt like I was sailing just under the cloud line. The leaves on the road all scattered as I flew over them. Roads I have never been on before that flowed endlessly with it all to myself as I ran through the gears listening to that sweet sound. It felt like the car and I had found the perfect bond. Everything was in perfect sync. I was lost in the thoughts of just how perfect the night really was. I was also lost in the fact that I had no clue where in the hell I was. I just kept turning left and eventually found my way home. As I backed the Z into the garage for the night I knew what had just happened was special. For that hour I was free from any worry the world could give me. No thoughts of money. No thoughts of time. Just the car and myself becoming 1 and owning the roads.

 

Cute story... I have moments like this too

 

Thats it!! I'm going for a drive Now!!

 

Enjoy it my friend, I sure did. Now I'm ready for bed.

 

Hopefully you'll have just as satisfying an experience with your wife when she comes home.

 

Dude.....there's only 1 explanation. Your life's been miserable after marriage. enjoy the rest of days b4 wife comes back.

j/k

 

Man i can't wait to feel that way again....got to get rid of the beater and get the z...........ahhhhhhhh

 

Nice Jeff...I think we all live for moments like that.

 

YES ! ... those experiences when you are one with the Z... the road... your driving....the atmosphere... the sounds.... the sights.... the smells...your feelings...

Ahhhhhh.... love it when that surrealistic experience happens... nothing is finer...

 

Can I have a hug from someone?
Hold me...

 

Hug yourself... put stay out of the pockets........

 

 

Great story man! I definitely have those moments every now and then too. And again, this is something that was never experienced until I had my baby Z

I could picture everything you were describing, makes me want to go out and drive now too.


be back later

ps - (Whole recount was great, but I had to laugh a little (not in a bad way though no worries) at this part

classic!

 

It was awsome, I just kept turning left and finally found a road I recognized. Actually I stayed on the road until it ended and then went back to find my way home. I am so looking forward to more days and nights like that that one.

 

HAHAHAHAHAA

 

Is it a coincidence the word "ZEN" starts with a "Z". I think not.

 

I have often thought this very same thing.

 

Nice story! If anyone ever found a way to bottle that feeling and sell it, they would be rich beyond belief.
