    With all the chaos in my life lately I went to warehouse this weekend to go see my RC 355 gtb. There she was just sitting there patiently. She is looking directly right back at me. With the sexy lines of a supermodel from the 90 ' s. The weather here has been unreal so far. Approaching 60 degrees! The everyday stresses of life, work, failing relationships, and a grandmother with advanced dementia the 355 calms me down almost instantly. All the anxiety leaves my body as I unlock the door and move into the red satin covered seats. She again is patient for me to start her. No nagging here! No "you only care about yourself". No constant negativity. I start her up. First turn of course. The echo in the warehouse of her 5 valves per cylinder engine wakes a few employees up. As they peek in, I smile as I enjoy the attention she brings. Like having the most gorgous woman in the room on your arm you enter the room. After a healthy warm up we exit to a bit of congested traffic. No worries, she is wrapped around me and all things are good in this moment. Not do far to the freeway and it's 3rd to 4th click ity clack and up to 5th waaaaaaah! The rush is like pure adrenaline to my heart. No time for thoughts of will my Gma even know my name tonight? Will my wife be hung over at 8 again?. Just a sense of peace. With of all of the imperfections of the 355 and the haters of maintenance this or valve guides that. I find it is the purest thing to perfection for me. Not having been a father yet, it is the closest thing I have short of a newborn son or daughter. Not being much of a religious fellow Imagine it's a sin to lust after something this much. But I will tell she gives back and never talks back. Ever!
