Driving a Road Runner to Work

[Bruzilla]

I really enjoy driving my Road Runner to work except for when I get to this damn exchange! Do I keep going straight and go to the office, or do I veer to the right and head for Daytona Beach... the funnest place ever to drive a muscle car?

When I was working I drove my 71 340 Cuda to work and even took off during lunch just to drive around. Only had a 30 minute lunch time and was tempted many times not to go back but then I got to thinking that if I stayed employed, I could retire in a few years and not worry about going back!

I was just there a couple weeks ago.

I love Daytona Beach! The race track, the Hooters across from the track, the boardwalk, driving on the beach, the t-shirt shops, Big Daddy Roth's shop... had a lot of great times there. I do miss the old PJ's Rock and Roll hangout though.

I wouldn't have a choice. That big O magnet would just pull my car off to the right. I've learned that once that happens there is nothing you can do. The magnet is tooooooo strong, just have to go with the flow.

I had two that at, of course, different times i drove to work and a lot of times wanted to keep going! Back then however it was more to have my wife now, girl friend then with me going any place in them, or any other car for that matter, oh to be young lol.

I'm just dreading when April comes along and spring break starts up... that's when the urge to divert to Daytona is at its strongest. Lots of bikini-clad co-eds looking for something fun to do... like pose topless on a nice looking car. Too bad I lost my "good" photo album a couple of moves ago. That one had some real interesting pics of my road runners on the beach. Maybe it's time to start a new one!

I recall a similar view when I took my hemi Charger through SF commute traffic. Of course the signs were different... Good for you for driving it!

Too bad you have to go to work. At least you get there in style.

One of my favorites is the I95-92 interchange...doesn't matter which one you take, you end up in the same place...and the truck tipover warning on the exit ramp.

I used to work out in the middle of nowhere between haines city and davenport.
Back in the late 80's/early 90's there were very few cars out that way, and the roads were nice and long and straight for the most part. I had my Super Bee part of that time (and my Torino GT and turbo Daytona), and sometimes I could go 100+ MPH for nearly all of the trip.
One of those days, cruising about 95, I see a faily new firebird formula 350 in the mirror that looks like he's gaining on me!
Oh, HELL no! I say as he moves into the left lane, and floor it. We run with him at my door, and me starting to pull ahead up to about 130-140, and then I see an M body in the mirror with the lights going, at the top of a small hill behind us.
So...I back out, and the cop passes me at about 110, and I'm guessing he was toped aout about 125 or so.
Never saw em again, or heard anything about it.

You're driving a RR man, veer to the right.

I work from home now, it would be a real short commute...LOL... looks like fun Bruzilla that Daytona Beach option would be way too tempting to me, I love the Ocean/surf & especially the beaches.... Too bad mostly all of the weirdo's & mental cases seem to live around the Beaches/Coastal regions here in Cali., or the filthy rich, whom I don't really mind, they aren't begging for a hand-out or my spare change all the time...LOL...
