Default Christmas drive?

Sure! Why not? A little cool (about 40 degrees), but the Santa hats and heater kept us plenty warm!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!

You gave Rob a good idea. We'll be taking the GTO to my Dad's later now. Thank goodness the back seat in that thing is so big! They just don't make back seats like those any more.

We did a christmas drive on Thursday, too bad it wasn't in a Pontiac. We flew to Texas (houston) on Wed and found out my oldest wasn't going to make the trip from Dallas. Bev and I hoped in my sisters Lexus and headed to Dallas Thurs morning and spent a couple of hours with her, (about 250 miles), then drove to Orange, Tx to pick up my mom (another 300) and then back to Houston (another 125 miles) back to my sisiters house. hey, it's been worth it and a wonderful Christmas to be able to spend with my family. Merry Christmas everyone.

That's not the half of it! I was waiting for my 10 year old daughter to shoot the pic and had no idea how much smoke was there until the breeze blew it back at us!

Had my GTO both yesterday and today. Felt good to turn it loose today, wasn't planned but idiot driver tried to crowd me into a guardrail. Tire smoke in second and squalling tires in third gear got the attention of the NC State Patrol also but didn't stop me. And that is with a tired 400 and four people in the car.

We went to friend's house for dinner, and didn't take the Goat, because it was too hot outside to sit in s vert in Christmas duds! It rained a little too.....
