What did you do with your Z today II

Welcome!

GREAT group of misfits here with an incredible passion for their cars, sushi, charburgers, and spending outragious amounts of money on a car that's already the best value performance-wise off the showroom floor!

Good morning all!

Finally coming out of the black abyss that is the year-end reporting cycle (I'm an accountant).

Like I said yesterday, drove the Z for the first time out on some open hilly and twisty roads north of Houston with some friends on Sunday. What a blast. I'm nowhere near yet close to the limits of the car, but really not interested in finding out either.

I had spent the past two weeks driving Mrs. Gurney's MDX to work as she was recovering from some surgery. It really got me thinking about getting a daily driver although my round trip commute is only 15 miles and I really love driving the Z.

Getting back into the Z from the MDX was definitely a shock to the system - felt like I was in go cart. I really love this car!

Looking forward to Daytona this weekend. Happy - we have to hook-up one day as I spent my summers growing up in Melbourne/Indialantic/Satellite Beach with my Mom's side of the family. I really miss the area. I attended the 24 Hour race at Daytona from 1979 through 1995; always a blast. Basically a camping trip with a car race going on. Also attended Sebring during the same time frame. Unbelievable cars and access to drivers back then.

I'm down in the Orlando area at least twice a year. Usually head over to KSC to tour each time. Behind cars, the Space program is a huge interest for me. Got to see a number of early manned Gemini and Apollo launches growing-up, including the big one - Apollo 11. One of the highlights of my life.

Have a great week all.

Mike

Hope the Mrs. is doing ok!

So you're going to be in Daytona this weekend? What are your plans looking like? Maybe we can hook up at the World of Beers for a couple.

Mrs. Gurney is doing fine.

Sadly., I'll be a couch jockey like Fire this weekend. Next time I'll be down there will probably be in the Fall.
