Friday is one of those days, where if you're able, you take a few hours off early to start your weekend. This is much easier if you have a fat job, like Andy's, or you're unemployed, like me. But that being said, it's also a good day to start cruising in your favorite ride.
If memory serves me, Andy has a '65 Sunbeam Tiger which makes him smile. Great little sports cars in their time, just not around any more. I'm blessed with a slightly older Corvette, which makes me smile.
This is the time of year when there are a lot of car shows also. You have to give credit to those people who take the older automobiles, and restore them to their former glory. Back then cars all looked different, and you could name each and every model. Today they all seem to look alike.
If you do a little research, it's amazing how far ahead of their time, various automobile designers and engineers were. I believe disc brakes and seat belts were designed in the 40s. They weren't used because it was thought they gave cars an image of being dangerous. Nowadays you wouldn't buy a car without either item. And seat belts are becoming mandatory to wear! It was always a good idea.
So Andy, top down and only good thoughts on Day 11!
