I had a hell of a day at work.

It was a beautiful day about 85 so I bought some new music and took a cruise on the roads around Gig Harbor. No hard driving just a lot of twisties, great views, wonderful exhaust note (header through 2 1/2 inch X 14" Magnaflow) and the blues by Janis Joplin. The car ran flawlessly and I really got in touch with it.

Not as good as a roll in the hay but, damn near. I feel like a new man.

So how many other cars can connect like that? I've driven a 930 and never felt like that. Who's had an experience like that and in what car?

Sounds like a perfect drive Dave!

I have an experience like that almost everytime I drive home from work in the 914! Hwy 17 from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz after the regular commute hours.

Long swooping high speed turns and a little traffic to negotiate is prime driving for the 914. Just after the summit I catch the view of Monterey Bay and I know I am home. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

I had a great experience once in the back seat of a 1964 Impala SS.
