Mountain Run

Well, I headed for the hills today with the 8. Took the wife and had a real blast in the Colorado Mountains until she started screaming . That really sucked. I was taking 15-20 mph curves up to about 50ish and she panicked. Bummer man. A county Sheriff followed me for about 5 miles hoping I would do something silly...never happen . I was really impressed with the way the 8 stuck to the road with the Continental tires on it. Much better than the Miata did. I never got below 6K rpm just about the whole time. It pulled really well in the hills and curves in 2nd and 3rd. All I can say is..Zoom Zoom! I need a cigarette! ****! I don't smoke any more

I know exactly what you are talking about. My wifey does the same thing. Sometime. It really depends on her mood though. I just now told her what you said and her direct response was I do not like you taking the curves really fast it is scary. Too bad, I do it anyways.

Most girls just aren't used to it, haha.

But roads like that are just an awesome way to spend a day.
