84 hours later....
Well approximately 84 hours ago, the wife went away for the weekend to NYC with her girlfriends which left me a charge of two kids, a dog, two cats and a lizard. LOL.
This was the longest 84 hours of my life. For 84 hours, I could not drive Stella!!!!!
So, wife comes through the door, welcome her back, tell her I miss her. She looks down at my hand, the keys in my hand with the running pony key chain. She goes “oh, of course honey, you haven’t driven Stella all weekend, go ahead”. I’m off like a rocket.
Get in Stella, turn the key and hear that exhaust note that is music to my ears, rev her real good. I spent 45 minutes performing the following therapy:
• 3 Burnouts
• 6 Hard Launches
• Some twisties
• Cruising to ACDC, Metalica, GnR and some old Scorpions
I feel much better now, though it is taking everything I have not to run back out to the garage and take off again.
Being a stang owner has its trials in life.

Ahh!
Don't tell me these things! I've got to spend two and a half months on the west coast this summer. What's worse, my summer job ends just a couple days before I've got to be back in CT for the next school year... No way I could make the drive!
Should I drive the 'stang out in June and have it shipped back in the fall? It would probably cost close to a thousand bucks, but imagine a whole summer without her! I'm in agony!

Absolutely fantastic cruising music. I feel Paradise City a fine tune while pulling up to red lights[sm=icon_rock.gif] And I feel Hells Bells a nice touch on the highway. Good choices my friend!
