What better way to celebrate one year of ownership than to beat the ever living sh*t out of the car exactly the way you intended from the moment you placed your order? I managed to stitch together one very good run today - it felt like something finally came together between the car and I; my last run was just me letting it all hang out and running over as many of those f*cking Oompa Loompas as possible.
What more is there to say? I mean the car is everything it was supposed to be in the time I have had it, and I feel every bit as excited to drive it today as I did a year ago. It has repeatedly met or exceeded my expectations across the board - zero buyer's remorse. My girls are obsessed with the "Ellcat" (said in their best French accents because the H is silent). People love to talk about it (even through a mask) and I am always happy to oblige. About my biggest gripe is how little the car is used contrary to my intention to daily it or share ride-a-longs at events like this (but, that is COVID's fault, not the car's or FCA's), it is sitting at just over 4000kms now.
Well actually, it did try to kill me this morning - near freezing temps and copious power will do that.
It gets set up for drag racing this week. Going for that low-11, or high-10 (LOL - yeah right).
