This is why fast cars are baaaaad
So I drive to work every day about 36 miles total (round trip), door to door from home to work (including the AM Dunkin Donuts run). Driving my Scion, I notice my average speed to usually be anywhere between 55-65 mph on the Belt Parkway, the highway I go East and West every day. When I take the S2k at work, I notice that the speeds are increased, more like between 65-75mph. For the most part I go with the flow of traffic, maybe once in a while going a little faster. I don't know what it is, but it's pretty weird....
Also, the cops lately have had the tendency to just park their cars in the "pouncing position", but with no one sitting in the car. I've been noticing it more and more, and sometimes that nonsense causes miles of traffic
. Lastly, those cop cars that have been visible and ready to attack have been Chargers....I think they feel more invincible in those cars, I don't know what it is...Just because it has more balls? 
Ok, carry on.

I took it to work this week on Monday and Tuesday...Other than that, not much. The weather's been pretty shitty lately. Before that, I took it for a couple of quick rides during the winter, so few, I can count them on one hand.. Remember I told you I put like 1000 miles on it the first week I got it? Well, I have about 3600 miles on it now, after 7-8 mos of ownership...

in MA the staties started putting up these portable curtains to block the view of the accident. Interesting idea right, but what do people do? They slow down even more to try to see what is behind the curtain...
I think the staties gave up on that idea pretty quickly...
