Airtime= Happy Motoring

Man, I just keep loving this car. Took it up one of my favorite Texas
Hill Country roads yesterday on the way up to Dallas From Kerrville

The road has some nice sharp crests that you can take fairly fast after a quick
90 deg turn.

Grabbed air and flew the car about 10 feet the first time and not quite as far the second time. Soft landing never even bottomed out,

Some sport bike guys I know were coming the other way and turned around and had to see who the hooligan was

When I got out at a stopping spot they all just died laughing as they said I drive like I ride

My co worker is checking into flights home

I wil, I think my friend on the bike that saw me coming had his go pro
still running. It was really a last minute decision to take Old San Antonio road from Comfort to Fredericksburg that day so it was not really planned.
