check out what i got to drive today..
 
so i landed a new job as a driver for a company that delivers cars. pretty much we are the company that the manufacturers give the cars to, for us to deliver to the clients who want to drive them for a week to see if they like the car / dont like the car, drive them to write articles or blog about them, or just promote their cars. so far ive driven to parts of new york, all over jersey, and even connecticut, a buddy of mine had to drive to vermont so i guess the company is well known.

so this morning i got to drive this camaro ss, and holy **** is it amazing..great feel all around and the pickup is alot faster than i thought it would be. the visibility in it sucks though..
