4:45 AM… Start Your Engines!!!

The alarm went off at 4:45 AM yesterday morning. Inside of eleven minutes the teeth were brushed, I was completely dressed and had managed to slap on some anti-stink before hitting the road. You see, it was Sunday morning and for us car guys, Sunday mornings mean one thing: you drive. And yesterday was the first real Sunday of ’08 where there was no real salt on the roads and it was truly dry out. So this meant get up, get out and get movin’ early. Apparently I wasn’t the only one with this idea because when we met up there were about twenty of us, all ready for a nice little 200 mile jaunt.

We had a pretty cool mix for this days run as well: everything from highly modded BMW M5s and M6s to a 650hp Super Performance Cobra (this thing was FAST!) to my buddy Andre’s jaw dropping Audi R8, to turbo Porsches of all years, and oh yeah, there was an Enzo there, too.

What you have to understand is this. Everyone on CarDomain is here because we love cars. They come in all shapes and sizes, make all sorts of different noises and evoke all kinds of emotions. They make us do strange things like get up before dawn, just so we can catch our favorite twisty roads before the traffic hits. We long for the early hours when the roads are empty enough to maybe open up the taps a little more than usual, and how about getting that wonderful breakfast at your favorite spot after the run? These are things in life that make a car guy’s life worth living. And let me tell you something, yesterday, we lived life VERY VERY well. Four more pics after the jump.
