Speed is seductive, especially in a 914. I had been driving several hours, cruising between 85 and 105. Clear blue sky, nice reading on the temp gauge, my Diet Coke in a cooler, sweet crisp sound of the /6 behind my head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
After a while, it just doesn't seem that fast, ya know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) At the time, I was going 95-100 on the freeway. The road wasn't the greatest in my lane, so I decided to move over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) OMG! I felt like I was on the SS Minnow. The car was tilting back and forth, and I almost put it sideways into a concrete retaining wall. The only thought in my mind was... "oh shit - another factory /6 in the graveyard." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Both hands gripping the Momo steering wheel with white knuckles, I pointed in one direction and increased speed (for just a moment that felt like 2-3 minutes) until the car stopped rocking... then I slowed down and made my lane change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I *really* need to get that front sway bar hooked up today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
