I have some of the best friends a girl could ever have. To get me out of the house, a friend invited me to Dallas the other evening. It was completely unexpected. I mean to Dallas and back all in one day and during the week too. This college girl is living on the edge! We hit some rough weather just before crossing over into Texas and then it proceeded to rain all the way to Dallas.
We actually didn’t get into Dallas until after 9 and didn’t pull out of Dallas until sometime after 10. Except this time we had a new toy to play with. It didn’t take long to fish tail down the interstate while we got used to how the car drove. Which just meant you can’t accelerate too quickly in Dallas in the rain. I didn’t see my life flash before my eyes at that moment, but did a few hours later.
You know when you have a Corvette Z06 to play with you must test out all the gadgets and drive as fast as you want. I’d never rode in an actual Corvette before so I too had to look over the car. It was uber spiffy, but because I haven’t the slightest idea how to drive a standard, so I can never own one. Given the opportunity to drive as fast as the car allows is one thing, but it also meant I had to brace myself and grab anything I could hold onto.
I was asked if I was ready to have a little fun, as we proceeded to drive right up next to a new Mustang. Anyone care to guess what came next? If you guessed racing, you’re correct. It was definitely the life flashing before my eyes moment. I mean flying up I-35 is something I’ve never done and don’t play to anytime in the near future. Turns out we hit 160, the palms of my hands were drenched and I was shaking like a leaf shortly after we hit 160. Then I begged to slow down and drive normal. The Mustang however, didn’t do this and sped by us very quickly.
I’m glad I got to experience this. I’m thrilled my friends think of me when they go and do things. It was great to get out of the house and do something just to get away. I need more days like that. Carefree and fancy free. Life is too short, I’m going to start having fun.
