Default Joy Ride Friday

Just finished the breakin on my Z and got a chance to go burn some fuel. Attached image is the route I took with the green line marking no traffic in front of me and the red line marking where I was forced to drive slower. Overall great ride. Started out on highway 9, this road always has traffice but I got really lucky. Saw a few speedsters on the oncomming side so figured it would be safe to open it up a little. You can hit 100 in a few of the straights but I didn't push it that far. Maybe hit 90 but I still need to get used to the car. Then got into traffic and saw 3 cops, one parked in speed trap fashion, then a highway patrol, obviously heading out to catch the friday joy riders. HAHA, beat his a$$ to the punch! Slow going through highway 1 and the first part of 152. Then it cleared up and was able to open it up on the downhill. Not too bad but was a little soft on the accellerator to make sure I didn't overheat the breaks. Read too much about breaks to push them all the way. I'll wait for upgrades before doing that. Then the side streets on the way to Hicks road were all good. Think I hit 90 a couple times in there too. Think I freeked out one some other joy rider driving a Civic as I blew past it. Hicks road was awesome. Used to race the road when I first started driving. Even evaded a cop once on it. Record speed when I was young from stop to stop was 10 min, 2 sec. Night run, 2am with 2 friends in the car driving a supped up 71 Ford Capri. Don't ever think I'll be doing it that fast again. Took me about 12 mintues 15 sec. to finish it. Used cell phone clock so it's not a real accurate time. Fast but not nutty fast. Best day out driving my Z yet!
