I know, I know, why is this the title of a car, blog post. Well, last night I watched the new James Brown biography starring Chadwick Boseman. Wow! A good depiction of an extraordinary man. Throughout the movie the audience was thrown from his childhood to his uncanny ability to bring out the funk. Moving from James' 11 or 12 year old self to an older James scuttling along the stage we hear James yelling to Bobbie Byrd to "take it to the bridge".
Moving from James to James (my middle name) I will share an experience of my present life. I have shared with you some of my past driving experiences. Probably not ones my parents are too fond of. However, now that we are all adults and can laugh (and cry) at them. So fast forward to present day (think of an audio clip in super fast speed). I have recently been fortunate enough to make my dream come true, with the help of many great people. The car I own is a BMW 2002 E46 M3 - Carbon Black. An amazing car!
That is one piece of my dream. The other was to take it to the track. That has also happened. Just last October, 2014 I entered a High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) to learn the art of the limit. You have all had that moment in your life when adrenaline has reached an all time high and nothing but joy is washing your soul. To top it off my instructor said that he has never seen such innate driving skills. I learned the driving line quicker that any student he has had. My head has deflated some since then. But to feel that once in a while I watch my youtube video of me and my good buddy finishing out the event with the last few laps. Click it to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOupXIcRHAA
This year I have been fortunate enough to get invited to a few more. Two in May at Watkins Glen again and possibly one at Pittsburgh International Raceway just after being resurfaced!
Like James always said, "I feel nice, with sugar and spice"
