Anybody up for a leisurely drive through the streets of NYC tomorrow, Sunday? I'd like to take the 308 out one more time before this year draws to a close.
All the salt is gone.. We had so much rain yesterday and last night.. I am waiting for the ground to dry. I am taking her out today for sure.. I was so pumped when we had all that rain yesterday.. R
Yep. The road are black and practically dry in NYC. Took Mondi out for 60 minutes just to stretch her legs.
60 minutes? CJ & I cruised up & around Andover, Sparta & other non-pronouncable towns/villes/ships etc. I clocked a total of 150 miles today & about 4.5 hours. I left him off near Chatham & continued into the city via the Holland. The city was warm & alive with people. And of course, traffic. Lots of thumbs-up from pedestrians as I puttered around Times square & Rockefeller center then left via the Lincoln. The roads in the city are particularly bad this time of year. I bottomed out 3 times - not pot holes, just bad uneven pavement. Set a new speed record in the 308. It's certified by GPS Yes, I did stop to snap the pic of the max speed - traveling that fast makes one's hand shaky & the picture blurry. I had to focus on the road at all times. 243mph! I'm not sure if that was going through the tunnel(s) or down 5th ave/6th ave. Might have even been 10th. But I'm sure it's a record nobody in another 308 will touch for a very long time.

Took out my GTB today around NJ - was fun. Then a hand car wash for my Vette and DD Jag with some Sam Adams to boot - car happy day today ;-)
Yeah, I experienced that this past month pretty badly in a C6 Corvette Grand Sport. I noticed that a lot of the City's roads are starting to sprout a lot more "dips," lately. Not good for anyone in a low car. Be careful out there!
Clyde, You should have called me!! Would have loved to get the 308 out and go up around Andover yesterday!! Oh well. And, I suspect the GPS just forgot a decimal point -- it really meant top speed of 24.3 mph. LOL Better start to reprogram it NOW. Have a happy and healthy New Year, everyone!!!!!!!
