"Yeah"

"What kind?"

"Mountain Dew"


Hey, we don't call it pop up here, it's soda. If we ask for a Coke, we get a Coke.

Taco Bell and KFC tend to be together around here, but not many. There are stand alone stores too, but again, not many around.

EXACTLY! If it's called anything else up here, it's called "tonic", but it's an old term used by people who are are dying off.

So I'm up here in Killeen, TX for a volleyball tournament. Just me and Zoe. I brought the Shelby. So I'm at a light this morning and a car just like Lee's turn left in front of us and I see it and wave. The driver probably in his 30s with a good looking blond in the passenger seat both stare down my car and their mouths open a little bit but they didn't wave back. Zoe laughed at me and said they didn't wave. I told her some Shelby owners are d-bags.

Got the Shelby up to 110 on the 85mph 130 toll road south of Austin.

I gotta say 80 feels like 50. It takes 95 to 100 to even feel like you're speeding. So effortless.

And all the stupid morons that drive side by side at the exact same speed on a 2 lane one way highway really freaking **** me off. I was behind two of these idiots for like 10 miles. And everything from horse trailers to farm tractors were pulling out in front of me.

Then some idiot in a Nissan pulled a u-turn on a 4 lane highway I front of everyone and right in front of me.

I thought I was cursed on the way up here. It's was just one bad thing after another.

I got goose bumps. Seeing the tower and the stands and even the track on the hills just made the hairs on my neck stand up

It's very modern and architectural. It's like a circuit from Europe was dropped right in the Texas hill country.

Last night at the restaurant they were tiny. I was like there is no way I'm putting my Mustang in those parking spaces. And people were parked all crooked in them too.

So I took Bettie out for a quick spin today, the weather was right around 40 and the rain was holding off. Nice little drive, out to the autobahn to let her stretch her legs, about 145mph or so. It's gonna be tough to drive in HI, I better spend the money to make her louder since I won't be able to drive that fast!

Last night when we were going to drop the girls off I'm doing just over 100 in the A5, guy gets over into the left lane and I have to slow down, notice somebody coming up real quick, once the guy in front of me gets over and I pass him the whites SLS pulls up and takes off! What an awesome sounding car!

I would never park something that valuable on the street.

Those vans arent easy to replace.
