My Tale of the "Tail of the Dragon" 2011
Should have done this months ago while it was fresh in my mind, but I remember everything pretty clearly so it doesn't matter... anyways
We're going back in time, back to late 2010.... no robot maids, flying cars or any of that nonsense. I was "Manager" at a pizza shop, starting to sound like futurama hmm. I'm making pizzas and jumping in my freshly painted Rx7 to run these awesome pies to my favorite customers. Always taking the fastest routes and made sure to drive through the twisty roads on the way back for more. Christmas rolls around and I have a day off to go see my family, had a great time. Had to cut that visit short because of blizzard like weather in IL. I said my goodbyes and drove my 7 away in heavy snow. I stopped at a gas station before I head out of town. I remember I was completely alone on the interstate for miles the snow was so bad. At one point I came upon a slight left turn, been driving straight for miles & wasn't thinking of how fast I was going. Going close to 65 in the snow I was drifting across the interstate, from the fast lane to the opposite shoulder back to the fast lane to continue driving straight. I've had many close calls but that was a pucker moment. Eventually I made it home safe but it was intense. New years sucked and my 7 was having starting problems.. I decided to register for DGRR 2011! Next day my engine seized up... to be continued
