I was really wanting to put the top down for the cruise, I might not be able to now with temps in the mid 50s, but it don't sound like bad weather.

So who is going on the cruise?
Nillahcaz
George84
Spazm 81
Boostd 7
SupSia7
inflatablepets ?
pyro_racer_0016 ?
anyone else?

Oh come on dude, I've had the top down on my Verts when it's in the 20's before, and it's actually comfortable. All that gets cold is hands and ears, the heater in the Vert really blows. 50+ with the sun out will feel downright balmy

I'm going to call Alex tomorrow, see if I can get him to come out. And Gary said he might drive his FD down to the meet just to hang out a bit, but not go on the cruise.

Nillahcaz - compile who's bringing what into a list, and make some suggestions for what else is needed.

Nillahcaz - drinks
BOOSTD 7 - charcoal, lighter fluid, and some grill tool.
George84 - brats & buns
SupSai - Plates and utensils
Inflatablepets - apex seals and maybe chips? sounds good to me.

We have the basics but any one that wants to bring other food, drink, utensils and or fun stuff feel free to, It will help is some one has something at the last min and can not show.

If you have a camera grab it.

I'll bring my camera ... we could use some side dishes like a tub of potato salad from Schnucks. Some pre-made burger patties and buns would rock too. I can stop on the way out in the morning and grab the potato salad, so put me down for that too

Are any of those RX-8 chumps bringing anything?

None of the rx8 guys have said they are going.

If it looks like we will have any more good days this year we can get a section of the chuck-a-burger parking lot. I know the owners son, he said to give him 2-3 weeks advance. So after this we can do that.

Map of the drive I will print off some copys.

Might not be able to make the whole run, but I will stop by at the starting point and make my donation. I may take on the first leg of the run. The wife has given me a list longer than my...

Inflatablepets, what happened with the cop when we were leaving? Were you even speeding when he saw us?

Well, I was going 125ish when I saw your guys' brake lights. I dropped to about 90 when the cop saw me. He stopped me for a few minutes and told me to slow down. No written warning or ticket. YAY!!!

Good, I am glad to hear that.

The wife and I had a good time today, I just wished that there was less traffic and cops. We will have to do another cruise sometime.

Saw you on the side of the road, good to hear you didn't get a ticket! That wouldn't have been a good way to end the day.

So now that it's getting shitty outside, what can we do inside? Maybe a weekday meet at Growlers, there's one in Creve Coeur and Sunset Hills? Unless you guys don't like beer

Whew! I feel much better that you didn't get a ticket, I thought he was coming after me! I got up to a buck forty and slammed on the brakes down to sixty when he passed me. Thought for sure I was got! Maybe you confused him and he meant to pull me over lol.

Did anybody else see that clean looking Black GSL-SE sitting in the front yard just a few miles away from Elephant Rocks? I almost stopped to ask about it. It had grass grown up around it, I imagine the guy would unload it cheap. It's hard to tell at 70mph, but it looks very straight.

That gsl-se might be worth me going down there looking for it.

I saw that. There was also a red 2nd gen GTU I think, down there somewhere.

I thought I saw GXL on that one ... it was right before we got on new Hwy 21. Looked pretty clean though.
