Just to clarify, I was pulled over at 7:45am on my way to the show. Scott and I were about three miles into the ride on the Dulles Toll road when some tool pulled me over when I was going 65 in a 65. Hemust have been bored and liked my car . So much for being left alone when you get old...




Illegal exhaust...LMAO

If they only knew what else was not legal on my FD .... Did he notice my tail pipe is frosted white ? 116 octane

On another note how was the ride home for you guys ? The traffic on 95 was bad. No AC, bad brakes and watching my temp gauge made it a special ride home. But it never went above 88c

I can't say I necessarily enjoyed my A/C on the way home. My ECU continued its streak of going berserk and was making it impossible to move along smoothly once I hit the traffic. (That and I killed the A/C in an effort to make the temps go down so it would stop...)

Dunno what the deal with the picture is -- its showing up okay for me

The drive home was horrible for me. Vlad left early and nobody really had a good idea of how to get home lol. Plus the pack got seperated due to all the traffic and in efforts to catch up to everyone my car was running pretty damn hot. I knew I should have installed the fan shroud before the show.

Well, I left to get some food from McDonalds and some icecream to help with the heat...

Only to find out that there was not one in the 5+miles...so I texted Brian when I turned around and checked if everyone was still there(seat change in progress when i left) and was told everyone already left...so I said how far...5miles ahead of me...tried to get him to pull over, but they just wanted to get home...so I was still behind you all...In traffic...5miles back :-/

Haha, nice pic Brian!

I didn't realize people weren't quite sure how to get back, I assumed everyone would be good once we got back to I-95.

As far as traffic, seemed pretty typical (i.e. bad ) It was crawling in a few spots, thank god for big-*** clutch fans :thumbsup:

Well as soon as I got back on I-95 I knew I could get home from there, I just didn't know how to get to I-95 lol. The caravan was still a lot of fun.
