The CHP officer has said we should be fine on the freeway and they'll leave us alone as long as none of us do anything "stupid". They will try and have their officers aware of our presence and we shouldn't get any interference from them that day.

Oh, and he mentioned they don't do CHP 'escorts' unless it's official government business or for motor pools that large.

Wonderful that they (CHP) approves of our mass of Mazda's.

We could get some of those funeral escort motorcycles?

I bet all that did was get the CHP excited about being able to harass and ticket a whole bunch of cars at once.

Nah, the guy was actually pretty cool about the idea of that many Rotaries getting together. He said his boss used to have a 2nd Gen so he knew we'd be alright. Then he said, "just don't be like ******' Evo guys that drive like idiots on the road and you guys will be alright"

Well, just as I was afraid of, they tried to deliver it this morning and since you specified "signature required", they didn't drop it off (I'm still in Las Cruces, NM).
Now, I won't get it until Monday!

Can't go afterall - grrr!

I knew going in that work could be a problem, but I never expected life and work to join together to kabosh my weekend plans for SevenStock. I also know this is probably THE SevenStock not to miss between the large caravan and the new Mazda HQ facilities.

Still, I can't get away afterall, and canceling my hotel reservation is easy. Anyone want to need to buy a banquet ticket. I'd say $25 is about right, at half-price plus Priority Mail-ing.

Please PM me to let me know soon.

Also, PLEASE, I feel bad about not going, and I'll miss all of you. Just don't make me more miserable than I am. Thanks.

We all do Blue, but we'll see you at the next gathering. And I am sure there will be a SS10!

It's a real bummer when work gets in the way of play.

My mod is done! I yanked out the Bose stereo sytem and installed 6 new Infinity speakers, 2 JL 10w6's, and a 1200 watt Kicker amp.

I broadcasted the install live on Rotary Rasp's thread....you guys should have tuned in.

I'm scheduled for both, but I don't know if I am going to do the Zoom Zoom Live or not.

BTW - I got the package! Thanks!

OMG 4 daysssssss

I'm so stoked. My 7 is in really good shape after fixing it this weekend, so I'm set.
I just need to bring distilled water, premix, and the other stuff RCCAZ1 mentioned in the email.
