It was great meeting you. Hopefully I can get my 1st gen done for next year. I need something so I can keep up with Nick and the rest of you.

That sucks, glad you made it back in one piece with no damage other than to your wallet! See ya next year!

I had a couple of minor issues with my FD on the trip, but nothing that left me stranded. On the way down, a rock hit my windshield on I-81 and left a nickle sized bull's eye crack that I'm getting fixed later today at Safelite. And after all the driving fun Friday on the Skyway & Dragon, I found out on Saturday after the car show that my MAP sensor was intermittently failing. Which COULD have left me stranded somewhere had it gotten worse on the trip home, but the awesome rotary community saved my ****. Justin Beamon (guy with that trick highly modded pink FD) swapped me his good, almost new Link 4 bar MAP sensor for my iffy MAP sensor the my ride home. I just bought 2x new MAP sensors, one that I sent to Justin to replace the good one he gave me, and one to keep as a spare! Here's my obligatory Killboy shots, my car looks much better with the front plate removed...

The bridgeported 1st gen was that crazy Puerto Rican Victor followed by his son in the red first gen also of course ... Victor. The other RX3 (besides Nick's) was the insane Puerto Rican Carlos. Them boys from down thatta way just ain't quite right in the head. Good times had by all. I just wish there was more time to hang out with all the people I wanted to. There were so many others I wanted to spend more time talking to and just ran out of time.

I feel the same way. Time flies but next year I want to take more time to talk to more people. Rotary people are a different car guy breed, for sure.

Great memories at my first DGRR

2025 was my first but definitely not my last DGRR. Made some new friends, had a great time, saw some beautiful Rotarys, got to hang out with the 2 nicest Cars at the Rally
