When called a Yankee - it's usually by a dear Southern friend - a term of endearment. So when I headed up to Pennsylvania to observe the Pocono 200 I felt a little like a fish out of water. My ride came by the condo to pick me up, and begin the journey. Up drove Charlie Daniels in his limited edition Midnight Black 2009, Hemi-powered Dodge Challenger. This muscle car paid beautiful homage to those from the late 60's. Not quite as powerful as my Prius, but, you get the idea.
Not every day you get chaffeured by a former Stock Car Champion. This was going to be a fun an interesting journey. Didn't take long before we hit Shore Drive with the new (lowered) 35 mph. The Chevy was straining against the excessively low speeds. Up came the the satellite radio, and my immersion began. Classic Country and Outlaw Country filled the air. I heard more Elvis, Cash, Paycheck, Twitty, and even Minnie's pearls of wisdom than in the last twenty years....
