Default Hi-Way Driving was never so nice!!

Well I got the chance this weekend to put 500 hi-way miles on the 2007 Monte 5.3l and broke the 1,000 mile mark!!
Went to Boston from my home in Staten Island. This car loves to go fast; once she get's up over 65mph she just lay's back and go's. The funny thing is that she will even go to the 4cyl mode when doing 70 or 80 (Not that I did that,, ))
The most fun was pulling out from the toll booths and listening to 8 cyl roar.
The wife said I was being a kid and stop acting like I was 20yrs old. I told her when I was 20 I couldn't afford a muscle car so now at 47yrs old I'm going to have fun!!! My daughter said "go for it dad!!!" Bravo for daddy's little girls!!
Hey I even got my average speed up to 23mph from like 14.
P.S. Looks like we have some snow coming this week to the north east so in the garage the car shall stay.

Glad you had some fun! I have 20K in 6 months, all highway - car's a blast. Restored the passion in driving. V-8 will keep you young!

Want more V8 roar? There's a few threads on exhaust.
