That's cheating, dadeck! I meant nearby! It IS a Philly Lounge.

In that case...Sanibel-Captiva.

i drove up from DC last week on business, and stayed at the Downtown Marriot at 12th and Market. Drove the Rex, and it was a nice drive. Didnt' let the valets park the 8, so did the self park thing in a nice garage across the street on Filbert. I must say there are some big potholes in Philly though. Manholes are really low also. And whats with all the bags and debris flying everywhere? i guess it was windy.

All in all, had a nice time. Philly's cool.

Philly streets ALWAYS win! I have problems dodging stones that trucks throw off on the Schuykill x-way...

If I get to the Auto Show it will probably be this Sunday, got other plans this Saturday and next weekend.

The reason for all of our potholes, we don't have enough snow to fill them in this year.
