If I had to convey just one, one of many reasons why CtC is such an amazing experience, it's this, and to some degree this happens whenever I drive my Roadrunner...
I'm a teenager in my mind again!!
It's so much fun, there are so many people there who "get it" and the rest of the people there appreciate (and many want or dream) of having what we do, but in my case and so many others, it's the "time machine" and our cars are the machines that bring us back to our younger days! I have no disappointment in my age now, I'll be 57 Monday, which looks and sounds funny when I see or say it, but the whole "car thing" takes me back to how I felt burning time, gas, and rubber cruising the Lakefront in New Orleans and that feeling of freedom and a kind of giddiness is hard to come by with the responsibilities that are constantly with me, ever present, in some ways those responsibilities are like weights or chains, and the FREEDOM of just being able to get out and DRIVE, have fun, be a "kid" again...
Priceless!
It is especially a big deal for me, because my car was always my ticket to freedom. It took me out of the house, away from the rules and restrictions of my parents dominion, and usually meant being around friends, and some of those same friends who were with me then, in our teens, are with me now, at Cruisin the Coast, and IT IS GREAT!
Dennis,your really switching it up,I'm envious
