One day there was a bad crash on 53 and they closed a section of it, but you could still get on it farther up north. Zero cars for miles going north. The on ramps were the best, leave it in 2nd gear, bouncing off the rev limiter, ~60mph and that car was on rails, extremely forgiving...

Then get on the straight, 3 lanes and 2 shoulders all to yourself and blast through the gears. ~140mph those 3 lanes and 2 shoulders felt more like 1 lane.

Those were the days. When I look back, even with zero cars around it was probably still a stupid idea, but the thrill. What a thrill it was!
