Default Nothin better than a midnight cruise around the city

Went for a drive sat night....windows down, radio off, no destination in mind.

ended up downtown amongst all the skyscrapers.....was really relaxing.

was able to clear my mind

:o)

anyone else enjoy a good cruise?

what part of houston are you in? i always prefer night time. but during the day is nice on some backroads around the state parks in conroe/huntsville. take the long way to get there and there are some really nice open smooth roads with no one on them.

Went cruising around yesterday and sprayed the juice a couple of times. Took this video from the last run. Unfortunately, my bottle pressure was way down by then, so it didn't hit like normal. It was my first video attempt, so I'll have to try it again next weekend.

wasted a full tank of gas once on a cruise, love doing it at night, so if you want to get on it you have the space.

i'd be down for a cruise sometime if anyone wants to go around the North side (houston/conroe/woodlands/ect).

city is fine with me, but also about 45min away.
