Diego

Last night Filmmaker Friend Chris and I took Diego out for a spin as a favor to Beersnob.

Diego is a 2009 Challenger SRT, fully loaded and one bad car. Black on black on black. Chris had never been in a car that powerful before so I decided he would make a great passenger for a ride.

So after picking up Diego from the garage we headed out for a bit. It was blowing cold and thirty seven degrees last night, not the ideal conditions for a casual ride but I had put off doing this for two weekends now and I had promised to keep Diego in running shape.

We move out to one of the main thoroughfares to notice a light had popped up on the dash. After searching for a button to get one of the lights on Chris pulled out his iPhone and found the owner's manual. We pulled into a parking lot where we could read it and found out it was the low tire pressure light.

I manipulated the buttons on the steering wheel to find the tire pressure monitoring gauge and saw that one tire was at twenty eight pounds and seemingly fine while the other three were blinking and between twenty five and twenty three pounds. I went to a gas station where I administered air into the tires while Chris watched the gauge to see if I got the right amount in.

The three other tires quit blinking but the low tire pressure light was still on. At that point I didn't want to over inflate the tires as it was cold and once it warmed up the air would expand anyway.

So tire gauges not blinking at us we headed around the town, radio on, and just chatted the evening away. It was nice and it was enjoyable. After The Date got out of class we picked her up for the last leg of the drive.

We parked the happy Diego back into the garage in fine working order and hopefully fine air pressure. Regardless it was a nice ride about town that brought back memories of when I was in school and too broke to do anything else but drive around town with the radio on.

Beersnob gets the next ride!
