After a year of sitting on the museum's exhibit floor, teasing me, I finally got the S660 out on a bit of twisty road on a rare day off. The weather was supposed to be 64F and sunny, but this is middle Tennessee, and it's January on top of that. Still, take the top off, put it in sport mode, and crank up the iPod through the stereo and it's all good.
I hadn't been on this road in a few years, so I took it really easy and enjoyed a relaxing-yet-still-brisk pace. Even though I didn't push the car hard, I was really impressed with its handling, grip, and responsiveness. Another 30-40hp and this thing would be a crazy blast. It's great fun just like it is, though.
The audio is weird because YouTube originally blocked this video in the U.S. due to the song playing through the car's radio (from my iPod). And no, my videos are not "monetized". Instead of trying another video host or deleting the audio altogether, I gave YouTube's song removal software a try. It's in beta form, so it's not perfect. But you can't recognize (enjoy) the song any more.
But you CAN hear it on the band's official YouTube channel, oddly. Fun song with a cool groove, and a funny video.
