Boy, there is no way that I couLd live in a Big City. Today I had no choice but to go. My youngest boy turned 16 on the 23rd of April, Now those that follow me, you already know that we are currently building a drift car for him but it just was not suitable to be a daily driver car. So his mom and I asked him what type of car he wanted that was reasonable. Of course he picked one out that was reasonable but very hard to find. So today @raybrockman made a 4 hour trip to the big city to try and find the car he wanted.
Now this was at 10:30am, this is not even morning rush hour. Man I was a nervous wreck. But I was on a mission. Now I did take the time out to google "coin shops close to me." Of course only when traffic was at a stand still. Closet one was 47 miles away. Don't know if I will make it to this one.
Took me about 1.5 hours to find the dealership that had the vehicle, again I am not a city boy, I can get lost on a one way street. I was feeling good about it though, I had made it through the big City of Atlanta Georgia.
So I get the car loaded up and stop for some gas, No idea why he wanted this type of car, but it's a Volkswagen GTI, Now it had to be 2 door and a manual transmission. Color didnt really play a big role for him, but I kinda like the antiqued silver😉.
So I am off, ready to get home. Of course I was facing another 4 hour drive. It was about 2:00pm when I left Atlanta, which I thought was a good time since it wasnt rush hour.
As you can see, Traffic is much worse than it was this morning. Plus on the way home I was pulling a car hauler, with a car on it. Which is something I have never done before, but I could have used an IV with a constent drip of xanax. Man I was sweetin like pig at a BBQ. this was not for me and I could not believe I was doing this.
Arrived safely back at home at 7:45pm, yes it took me 5 hours and 45 minutes to travel 210 miles, I told yall, this wasn't for me. I was the guy everyone was passing while I drove 50MPH🤣.
So I got the car parked in Grandmas garage, thats right, he ain't getting this today. So stay tuned for the big reveal (FRIDAY).
So today I added no silver to the stack, but I added memories. Thanks for stopping by, even tho there wasn't much to it 😎👊.
'but I kinda like the antiqued silver' - no surprise there. LOL!
Seriously though, it seems like a neat machine for a teenager.
I was happy it was a silvery color.😎👊
He is going to be so pumped when he sees this! I still don't know how to drive a stick! I feel like I should learn!
Atlanta traffic is some of the worst traffic I have ever encountered! One wrong turn and you lose an hour of your time!
Ah dude, you gotta learn, lots of fun. Yea he is gonna be over the moon on this one.
I feel like it would be a blast! I always enjoy riding with people driving them!
Atlanta traffic is aweful. And everything is named Peachtree this and Peachtree that. The GTI is an awesome vehicle. Love me some VW's.
It SUCKS, yea my first car was 72 VW beetle, loved that car.
I don’t like the big city either. It a sweet looking ride. 👍🏻
Thanks Vulcan, I wont be back for a long time🤣
