Do you remember the first time you rode a roller coaster? I’m not talking about one of those kiddy ones at a carnival, I’m talking about a full-fledged, screaming upside down, bugs in your teeth roller coaster. My first time was the summer in between 6th and 7th grade. Some friends and I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain and the specific coaster that blew my mind was Viper.
This coaster had corkscrews, a huge drop, and a couple teardrops. Now tear drops are like loops, but have you accelerating on the last half of the rotation. It was pretty much glorious. Now I want to say that after that first ride, I did not feel so good. At the time I thought it was me getting motion sick or something like that, but I just had the same feeling on Friday, and it had nothing to do with motion sickness.
A good friend came over that night and suggested we go for a drive in my car. Now my wife and I own a 2008 Audi TT, and to be honest, I have yet to push the car and find its limits. To be even more honest I doubt the limits I found on Friday had anything to do with the car, but mostly the saddening truth that my talent for spirited driving is crap.
I spent 20 minutes driving through some of the most awesome twisty roads from southern Temecula to Fallbrook, and let me tell you, that was one of the coolest times of my life. I just didn’t want stop. So for all you adrenaline junkies out there, try it some time. Go find a twisty road with a fun car and wring the snot out of it. But remember, be safe
