Looks like I won't be making it this time. My mom is screaming for some quality time since Robbie is out of town.

Probably just as well, I have strep throat so you probably wouldn't want to stay at my place this weekend

Yeah I know. I basically haven't been to work in 6 days and only now am I getting some semblance of my voice back, I'd say it's still 80% gone. It's why I haven't been posting lately, just been laying in bed hacking up a lung Of course this has to happen when I should be packing and moving to my new place. I have the worst luck.

Yeah, Sky, I'll see you there.

Yeah, jisoo, I'm starting to think you don't really exist. Maybe you're just the result of random data on the internet coalescing to post here. Hope you get well soon.

Yeah I know. I swear I'm going to make it to one of these summer runs if it's the last thing I do.

Hey you wouldn't want to try and get together again and help me get rid of that weird squeak in my center console would you? Now that I bought my own place (first time homeowner, *w00t*), I have my own garage now Or I can come to you if that's easier.

Now I *know* I must be getting older when something like having my own garage turns me on...

P.S. My strep throat has officially migrated and turned into bronchitis I'm so sick of being sick!

I'd be happy to come by and give you a hand. I don't have a garage, so you're place is probably best, especially with this summer's unpredictable weather.

Hey All. Great drive today. It was great to see everyone and meet the new folks. And drool over the beautiful Ferrari.

I guess it was better to have most of the rain while we were eating than while we were driving.

thanks again Kris for putting a great drive together!

Wow, quite the adventure today - between the drive, the weather, the dog, the Ferrari and everyone who was able to make it!

Kudos to Kristopher again for a great drive!

And sorry for leaving you guys for a while to run to Anacortes to close the windows on my boat and you got stuck putting all my stuff out of the rain! I REALLY appreciate it, and we got there just in the nick of time before the downpour and thunder/lightning hit.

Here's my first set of pics. I have a bunch....

At the Shell station around 10am:



Tinkerbell and her dad arrive:



Waiting to leave for the drive:



Tinkerbell says "Dad, what's an RX8? You drive a Miata":



Tinkerbell - "I need a break now":



Tinkerbell - "Cars...zzzzzzzzzz":



More to follow......

Does anyone have pics of Tinkerbell riding in the Miata? And what was her Dad's name? So hilarious!

Ya know - I wonder if Kris is responsible for my car's problems - seems his best group-drives happen just about the time my car decides to break again. :-/

Thanks, you're welcome! Will do. I got a thank-you note from Darren this morning and he is still jazzed from the drive. He said to pass on KUDOS to Kristopher - he was impressed with the planning and execution.

I have a feeling he may want to come with us on the drive in July I think he felt safe with us... And how many places do you get the opportunity to drive like that for extended periods of time?
