In the summer, I like riding with the sun roof open and the AC on
I like doing that too, the problem is the AC drains the power so much I almost hate using it. That and the revs fall way faster with the AC on so shifting is different.Quote:

From five years ago at an old cool restored retro Texaco Station in Wartrace, TN. The coolest thing is, that it’s owned by Toby Keith the "Red Solo Cup guy"
The location was also part of the 2016 ZHPMAFIA family reunion Road Rally!

The interior even managed to get snow inside since I was in #WindowsDownDriftModezzzz
LOL

Why, because his speedo goes to 200? So does my Golf's. Neither of us are coming anywhere near that figure anytime soon.Quote:

Jesus, 106f at 9:36pm 2 summers ago. No more of that heat where I am now, 3 miles south of metro Phoenix. I won't miss those days at all!
No because his tach is at 5800 RPM...Quote:
