Cruisin' Is Therapeutic

My wife and I cruised with assorted car clubs several time per year for a few decades, it's a wonderful way to spend idle time - By never going cruising in a shined up, timeless classic…sticking to the back roads on a balmy afternoon… You’ve missed an opportunity my wife and I - all winter - feel is one that - like the spring - cannot return too soon. We’ve logged a lot of miles with friends who drive these types of cars...making, as we drove, a lot of unexpected stops. We seek out points of interest that are off the beaten track, and pick up little knick-knacks here and there at friendly shops. We rarely skip a dairy queen, and eat a lot of burgers, avoiding franchise places as we drift from town to town. Trust me…it’s a lot o’ fun to “cruise” around the countryside with favorite tunes a-playin’ loud and all the windows down. The feeling is remarkable. A very special freedom, and those of you who’ve done it I am certain will agree, When the stress of life is great, just take ‘er for a spin, ‘cause cruisin’…for at least a little while…can set you free!
