First Drive. ;-)

My first drive, it was short, out of the trailer and up to the garage.
Felt good after 3 1/2 years.
I so wanted to stomp the gas pedal and leave marks on the driveway.

one neighbor stopped by and said "What Monster did you created?"

Nice job! As you know I did the same thing yesterday. Was your smile as big as mine

At first I thought you only had reverse gear but then you went forward

Hope you have a big back yard. You kind of accelerated at the last minute

Keep up the good work.

I read the post before seeing the video. When I watched the video I thought the dark strip on the road was from when you stomped on it. LOL. It looks good have fun with it and get it on the road.
