The next morning we headed to the swap meet. Aah, what a beautiful place, 5filled with vintage, rustic treasures. My mother and sister would feel right at home. We decided that we'd had enough of the swap meet and chose our default boredom filler: Cruising. We stopped at a few car shows at some big hotels / casinos and before we knew it 7 o' clock rolled around. Now it was time to cruise the registrated-only specified cruise in which they close off one block for people to show off their sweet rides.
Our last day was similar to the day before with one exception. Chevrolet had a small test track in which people could actually drive a new Camaro or Corvette. They also had professional drivers who would take you on an exhilarating 30-40 second race around the track. After some convincing, my dad got me to agree to go for a ride. There was a big line because it was free, but the people with Chevrolet were so great. They put me right a the front of the line! Sometimes words just aren't enough to describe something, so here's the link to the video of my ride:
Fun, fun, fun.
I don't know if it's the elevation or the heat that makes it more difficult to breath, but I will say that I am thankful to have my ventilator to help with my breathing. I find that every year I go seems a little more difficult for me physically in one way or another. For a young man in my physical condition I make do with what I have. I may not feel the best, but one thing that will never change is my drive to keep going in life. People often ask me how I maintain my attitude in life. My answer consists of three main things: How I was raised, my personality and most importantly because God has blessed me with each breath I get.
