Some days..

Do you ever feel like your car just drive's better some days? I took the car out today to go get some milk and i ended up driving down the main street by my house for a few miles just weaving in and out of traffic. I love the way my 350 handles for the most part on any given days but then there are days like today where it just seems to be something totally different.

Anyone else have these kind of day's?

Okay, okay. Now, determine the exact date of manufacturer for your car, then use a Biorhythm program to project the good and bad days for driving it

Maybe you could cross that with your own personal biorhythm to find the really BEST days to take a drive. Combine with a clean car and sunny weather, and the world's your personal oyster!
