I do have a female friend that I have taken from time to time, but they complain an awful lot about my driving. My average speed is only about 60 on the backroads(my favorite), but it does get much more intense when I'm by myself, so, in that particular situation, I suppose I would prefer to be solo.
Last night(Monday) I played in a tournament at the American Legion, and it took fucking forever(which is okay), because players have to lose five games to be eliminated. It started at 7:00 PM and I left at around 11:00 PM. It's a nice place, really clean and the balcony for smoke breaks(lots of those) which overlooks the Winthrop Beach is pretty decent.
So, for tournaments it's Monday at the American Legion, Tuesday at the Augusta Eagles, Thursday at the Gardiner Eagles, and that's all I got so far.
Just looking for some other shit to do other than what I already am, that's all.
Went to Angel Falls on 9/2/22. Was going to maneuver on that big rock to the left of the base and get my hair wet, but it was easier said than done and slipped right into a deep water hole gear and all(with backpack).
Most areas were shallow and was thinking the same, but this spot was different, I'm six feet and went down a ways and didn't touch bottom. Resurfaced and treaded water for a few seconds and grabbed hold of that same big rock and inched my way back up until I could get a decent grip. Once I got my right knee on the right side of the rock things got much easier and I was pretty much safe after that.
Took my .44 out first so that didn't get wet, but holster, wallet, backpack - all soaked.
The good part about all this is that the insurance company is giving me twice what I paid for it. It was messed up pretty good, but I was fine and the air bags didn't even deploy. I just had some insurance documents notarized, so it shouldn't be too much longer now.
Looking forward to getting out of the house again.
I've never had a Mustang but might be leaning towards it at this point; maybe even go for a manual transmission - first on that too. Chevy Camaro is a nice looking car also. I had one of those a long time ago, but it was lagging quite a bit on acceleration; maybe the newer ones are different.
But yeah, I'm thinking Mustang GT right now, and it ain't gonna be much longer - the wait is almost over.
The numbers for Camaros, Chargers, and Challengers are looking pretty good and also the higher end Mustangs - anything above 350 HP that's not too heavy would be good. I might even consider a foreign car, but I just don't like the looks of most of them.
Also looking at a variety of other small, fast, sporty cars - like turbocharged. As for color, I would prefer black, red or a combination thereof. Lots to choose from in my price range.
Got my money; still waiting on the bank to get their end though.
I've had two Chargers and I don't really recall either one having any problems handling a Maine winter. The first one was a 3.5 V6 RWD and the second was a V8 HEMI AWD. I did have a 2.7 Chrysler Sebring FWD before that though and that thing was awful in the winter; there were times I didn't even make it out of the driveway, and if I did moderate inclines were also a bitch.
Coincidently, I was just reading/thinking about this; that maybe if I went with one of the lighter RWDs I might need the sandbags, but I guess the Chargers were heavy enough so it wasn't a problem, but in spite of that though I would still rather have a lighter car for faster acceleration et cetera.
Also having a hard time finding the sportier cars I like near where I live, so I might opt for a delivery if possible.
I'm being a bit pickier about things this time around. The last two Chargers I grabbed up in a heartbeat and didn't look any further; not this time, and I see a lot of Chargers but I'm still looking.
I paid roughly eleven grand for this one.
