Brad - I'm so glad that a drive in your Pagoda has rejuvenated you and your love for her. I was telling some folks just today that these inanimate assemblages of metal, rubber, plastic and leather we take care of are truly living breathing creatures that need to be exercised, just like the family pet. The more you run them the happier you both are.
Lucy and I put 193 miles on our 230SL today just going to and from (by the twistiest, most deserted roads possible!) an MBCA Greater Washington Section picnic at a regional winery. Drive 'em 'til the road wears out!
