Test Drive Day - 600mi in 10 hrs (including an unfortunate stop for Mexican food)

Friday, August 1, 2008

Test drive day was a blast. CA 36 had zero cops and seems to have been built to be abused by two over-caffeinated guys in a supercar.   The live video feed via Justin.TV, the iPod, the iPhone and the hidef camera all worked perfectly.

The only thing that didn’t work that well was jamming 4 tacos al carbon and a circus-sized marg down my throat at our 1/3 point in Red Bluff.

Also, a raccoon met his untimely fate somewhere near Ukiah.

The highlights:

Somewhere on CA 36, letting the brakes breathe

Curves @ 80+ mph - We sweat, R8, mocking us, barely breathes hard

4 tacos al carbon = Poor Judgement
