Nice day for a drive.

Perfect day in Florida. Punkin and her wing girl taking Alice for a burn. I believe the destination was ice cream in Everglades City.
Alice should enjoy a spirited afternoon.

Not so sure she is wasting it. Those Dragon stickers are earned! But yeah, being the same age as old people sucks... I'm having a hard time coping.

Those girls are paving the streets with broken hearts and very surprised young male motorists. Alice (named for Alice In Wonderland who wears a blue dress, slays a dragon and has "Muchness") is a rather well tuned JCW that puts it down hard. The girl is spoilt, true but earning every bit of it. And to quote another mythical figure the esteemed Governor Swan: "It is a fathers privilege to indulge his daughter". I could not agree more!

Believe me when I say I really wasted my youth....Seriously. Almost killed myself. When I was 16, rolled a car three complete revolutions doing 60 mph and lived to tell about it. Been instructing at high performnce driving schools for over 40 years trying to pay it forward.

I can't imagine rolling something that old that many times. I have to sort of mentally recalibrate and remind myself what I'm driving every time I get in my '67.
