How do you like my new wheels, cool cats? After living for two years like a pauper, I decided it's
time to have a little fun, so I dashed down to a dealer to gobble up one of 3,000 limited edition 
2012 Mustang Boss 302 road racers.Naturally, my big bad Ford Boss offers a 444 horsepower Hi-Po 302 4V Ti-VCT V8 engine, featuring a runner in the box intake manifold, forged pistons, sodium valves, valve springs, new rods, oil cooler and high-lift cams. The engine is capable of 7,500rpm.
Mind you, I have no idea what any of that means... Okay, I guess it's obvious I'm full of horseshit. However, my brother Chris, who has been a car aficionado all his life, bought the car of his dreams... he actually had to go to Texas to find the specs to fit his needs.
On Thanksgiving, post-meal, I got the ride of a lifetime down the back-roads of Bedford County... When we reached 100 miles per hour, I feared I was either going to upchuck my dinner or completely soil myself. What a mad rush... like being on an amusement park roller coaster, only without lines or hearing "It's a small world" 500 times. I felt awfully damn macho.

Pretty critter, isn't she?
Taken before my 100 mph ride... no wet spots yet... I look right at home, eh?
