Woo hoo! The Automobile Magazine with the article about me came yesterday. Ok, so it wasn’t an article about me, but I did get some ink for being the weirdest of the weird. Sometimes it pays to march to Juan’s own drummer. Yes, Juan has his own drummer and I often march to his infectious beats. Ok, that’s also a lie. Anyhoo, the article was more about the event at the Tail of the Dragon, which I suppose I should have expected, but a few cars were singled out for special mention. Mine was one. I'm even quoted in the article. I do feel a bit funny using the term “hauling ass” in an internationally read magazine though. It makes me seem a little “low brow” if you know what I mean. It would be at this point where I would spit on the ground and scratch my crotch for effect were we speaking in person. Oh well, what are you going to do? Here’s what I'm planning on doing. Tonight after work I'm going to go to the shop to get the Seven. I might stop in at Sushi Q for dinner “on the way” first. I'd like to have someone take me to the shop rather than park Matilda there because it leaves me with the Seven as my only means of transportation. It probably won’t be an issue but Juan never knows. I might need to go somewhere in the middle of the night and Matilda would be a better choice. I suppose I could wait until morning to go get the Seven and drive straight from the shop to the event. Perhaps I should consult the schedule and see just how late I can be to this event without being left behind. No, I'll go get the car tonight and have even more time to sleep in before being late to the event! Yes, that is the plan. Well, my alarm kept waiting for me to hit REM sleep before going off this morning. I'm pooped. I think I'll grab a bit of shuteye for a moment. Y’all have a weekend. Go buy the November issue of Automobile Magazine and look on page 117.
