[Roadsters] My first 2 hour roadster drive (Midwest)

[Dave Cooke]

Well, we don't get many sunny days like to this in Chicago, so I took the
roadster out for the first extended trip. Up until now, I've just been
testing her out on local roads around town. Granted it was only 2 hours long
and about 80 miles in all, but it was a blast dodging pot holes and trying
her out at various speeds. The speedo seems to be at least 5mph slower than
my GPS speed reading. I soon realized I'm gonna need new shocks & since my
last long roadster trip was Interstate-5 in California 25 years ago, my
lower back reminded me of my age. But, I still had a big grin on my face the
whole time. The roadster did great at all speeds and handles surprisingly
well for a 42 year old car.

definitely enjoying the ride after a 19 year break...
