A friend joked last night about it "Damn Kevin its not like you drive a Hummer or anything " I had a nightmare of sorts last night about the recall. It wasnt my normal service dept it was like some Huge Hi-tech place. They had my engine in a room and I seen it and asked "Oh I'm getting a new one?" they said no we are just doing the test's. I then go talk to a service rep and they wont give me a rental wont refill my gas tank, wont give me the paper work for my car's tests and just yeah overall horrible service haha.. was just freaky'sh.

Just got in from washing and wiping down my 8. Man its colder than a witches mammory gland in a brass bra, doing push-ups in the snow, on the dark side of the moon!

Gotta jump in the shower and head on down. I'd recommened to everyone to top off whilst there so you'll have a full tank of gas.

Kev, if I were you I'd bring a few spare gas cans! J/K

See everyone soon!

Just got back and ouch my knee still hurts hehe..
Got back fine decided to take 93 back and oi that was a mistake. I think I have a sticker on my bumper that says "Hey try to race me please!" Had a kid in a crap box accord or carmy couldnt tell but it was definatly the old boxy style try to race me. I wanted nothing of it since the traffic was a bit high but nope this kid wanted to UGH!.. so I switched over 3 lanes of traffic and hid myself around the traffic that was the 95 exits. Eventualy I found myself back in the left lanes and I eventually passed this kid. He litteraly flies across 3 lanes of traffic and floors it past me after flashing his lights at me ala "I challenge you.." I just laughed and continued on.

I had a great time and definatly needed that relaxing drive. Tired though.. gonna go get something to eat and maybe pass out.

There are a few of us in this world!

We both had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves! Couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day for this run it was fantastic! I have some GREAT pics, I will post an album later tonight, it's going to take me forever to get them all uploaded and sorted through!

Thanks Kevin for setting up this run, even though we didn't finish, it was awesome! :tup:

Awsome pictures
I need to bring a co-driver next year hah.. tried a few times while driving and they came out blurry as hell the few that did come out where just ok

After the run I went to my work (CVS) and printed up a few of the pictures. One of the kids who just bought a Scion Tc was impressed at how many 8's we had together and said "man where did you meet these people?" I told him 'bout our site here and that Scion probably has one. he just said "Man I gotta get on dat shyt!" .

Haha.. I just now remembered that old couple that popped their heads in my car Next year we might have a eldery couple on the run 'cause the gentleman was looking around the inside of the car haha.. "Honey it does have 4 seats and they seemed like nice folks.. lets go buy one"

Krysty,

That first pic of my car is HAWT! Nice shooting!

Thanks everyone for the great day! Sorry I was a little agressive a couple times and passed some people but I just love the sound of my car at 9400!

Thanks Kev for the great run. I wish there was to be another before I put my baby up for the winter. Hey anyone know where I can find a good car for a couple grand??

^Dude I seen like 20 or so used dealer lots on that run selling beaters for like $500-2k haha.. I think one of my friends was correct when she said "Trust me Kevin if you want a cheap beater come up here!" she lives in NH obviously.

Waiting for more pictures to be posted!! Come on people!! Post them up!!

Kevin, thank you very much for organizing this run! It was a lot of fun and it was great to meet and see everyone! Sorry that I had to duck out early, but I had to work Sunday--otherwise, I was planning on having the entire day dedicated to this.
