There we go. Up and around several bends, pop open the Amp. Hey motorcycle guy! You gonna go fast enough for me? I’m running a little late. I guess not, zee ya. Thank you for slowing so I can get past!! What a guy! Zip through sleepy little town. WHAT is that car doing. Gawd. Yepp. He’s going to do it. WTF? You saw me coming…sigh. OK, you leave me no choice zig zag and I’m gone, see you too! Traffic is picking up. Wait on three cars on the four lane and I am out and shifting gears. Gawd I love the torque…woo hoo! Better slow it down sister or you will be really late! Sigh. It’s going to be a beautiful day. Cannot wait till the end of the day when I get to do it all in reverse!

I would be careful in reverse. You've got a long route and your vision out of the back of the Z is pretty limited

I have told myself for days be good, and do not pass at that one spot anymore.

I was stuck behind a slowpoke and was quite mature thinking this doesn't bother me at all. After two minutes of saying to myself "be good", "this does not effect me" mantra, I snapped.

It was seamless in it's appearance. I came round a turn, looked down the road, it was empty, and as the car ahead went slightly right following the road, I rolled on the gas and went very slightly left, and was past the hybrid.

I now had a road that was empty. I had a blast all the way home.

Moral of the story. Don't be mature. Hey wait!

I need to work on me.
