The Wind in your Hair
July 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment
There’s that “wind in the hair feeling” that people say they have when they are enjoying their car or motorcycle. I’ve been enjoying that feeling with my new GTO. I don’t think that feeling has anything to do with wind or hair. It is about everything in life lining up and making sense. It is […]
