Why sigh? Sleep, intimacy and jaunt vs hanging out.

You chose well and missed little.

I was driving home yesterday with plenty of cars ahead and behind. Directly in front of me was a BMW 550 and behind another BMW 3 series E36. Cars began to peel off and the E46 behind me was warming up his tires by slaloming. I gave him a thumbs up. The 550 turned off leaving a single truck ahead. I hung back to appreciate one sweeper and allow the BMW the same.

This is where the speed limit increases to 55 MPH, so I flashed my lights and lightly tooted my horn and the truck let us by. I slowed way down to wave profusely to express my gratitude.

After two turns the Bimmer was falling off and 4 turns later I thought he'd turned off. I felt so wonderful and lucky to be WOT when up ahead a car pulled onto the road. Ugh and rats! A Prius just to add insult to injury. The BMW was way back there and cutting corners. I barreled down so hard upon this Prius she pulled over at the first opportunity. After another heavy expression of gratitude I took off again with the BMW right behind again. After two miles alone, I was alone and thought I'd wait for him at the "Y". After awhile he showed up again, crossing the center line and went my direction again.

I signaled to pull over and I parked and he pulled in behind. I got out of the car to chat with this young fellow. He was surprised by my advanced age as well. He took my name and number so that we can drive some more together along with a buddy of his.

I told him "If you had an M3 you'd have been all over me."

He responded "It is an M3"

Sure enough it was. I look forward to a call from him and another drive.

The 370Z is a glorious machine.

that is correct to a certain extent. I get very little interaction with other car owners so it makes me sad to miss one.
