Hot Rod Goals

I'm not in the "moar powah!" to the expense of all other considerations camp.

I'm not willing to sacrifice a comfortable ride for skid-pad bragging rights any more.  I made a fun car a miserable car doing that.

It makes me sad, because that misery made me let it go too soon and it had a lot of neat shit in it.

I want a car that handles well enough and has sufficient power.

The Beast really fits the bill.

I dunno what the skid pad is for it.  It's supposed to have 355 horses.

I've never put it on the clock or the dyno.

I don't even know if the category name I've chosen for what I want is already being used for it.

Cruiser.

I like to hit the open road and enjoy a drive.

I don't want my ass or back to complain that I did so.

I want to hear the tunes while I'm cruising.

I want some rumble, but not at the expense of comfort, my ears ring enough.

I want decent mileage and I want to be able to trust it on a 3,000 mile road trip.

It's nice if someone else says, "cool car!" but I don't need them to.
