Well, hopefully soon TL. People hear
"supercharger" and they think "pedal to
the metal" driving style but this is not the
case, in my case (though I AM capable
in this respect!!).
But it won't be blowing doors off anything
'cause this Frog is for my own fun to begin
with. Secondarily I have no problem "sharing" the road and am strictly a
defensive driver. I am not competitive
when it comes to public highways, at all.
And just as important is the fact that while
I "hold" a Federal License, it does not
"belong" to me. It is owned by the US Government and they can "recall"
it
at their discretion for irresponsible
behaviour with a motor vehicle (along
with other reasons). Flying is not only
my bread and butter, it is a primary source of fun and self-fulfillment.
I'd
really miss it if it was "taken" from me
before I was ready to voluntarily give
it up. And, I like my fun!!
The "blower" is a fun thing. At the same
time, supercharging is a very cost effective way of enabling the Frog to
keep up with today's traffic in any
highway or city street situation. Like
the suspension and braking mods
which preceeded the blower, it makes
the car more safe by increasing it's
"flexibility". But, no racing of any type,
most especially on public roads.
I am not 18 anymore, TL! I can no
longer use "ignorance" or "inexperience"
as an excuse; those days are gone
forever (though they WERE fun while
they lasted, for sure!! :)
