URGENT HELP NEEDED (Winston Salem area)!!! Please read!!!
As some of you know, I was scheduling a trip to TX to pick up my 10AE and drive it back to NC. Well I made it all the way from Dallas to Winston Salem (Clemmons actually) driving straight through and fell asleep at the wheel, so I decided to stop and get a hotel room for the night. JUST MY LUCK. The NCAA tournament prevented me from finding a vacancy ANYWHERE, so I decided to try my luck with the remaining 4 hour drive to Jacksonville. Well I get back in my car to start it, and the ignition cylinder just turns freely without any resistance. Now I'm stuck here in the freezing cold, but refusing to leave my car. No locksmiths are open today apparently, and there are also no automotive shops open. I really don't know what to do right now, and I'm almost to the point of a nervous breakdown. Is there anyone in this area that can help me?!

Hey guys just wanted to make sure that we are still headed out for our drive tomorrow! I'm trying one of my buddies here to come along...he's a little hesitant cuz he drives a Lotus and he's not sure how you guys would take him. I told him to head out with us anyways. I'm headed over to his place in a little bit, and I'm gonna try and talk him into letting me take it for a spin or two or three! LOL See ya'll tomorrow!

^We accepted a Porsche, why wouldn't we accept a Lotus? lol Good luck getting to drive it, I have to say, my Spidey sense says you're not gonna, haha. I'd love to see how that thing handles on the back roads anyway, I'm sure it'll be great. I'd be more afraid of wrecking it rather than about being accepted by the group. Damn I wish I could make it for the drive tomorrow. I finally got the diff bracket out today. I basically had to do what I didn't want to do...remove the PPF, driveshaft, exhaust, have a jack under the tranny and the diff...once the diff was tilted down it was easy enough to break loose the nuts on top though. I just hope I can get the bushings out easy enough. I already got the upper a arm bushings swapped out, those were easy as hell. Putting the bushings in has proven easy so far, getting the old ones out is another story altogether.

I wonder if he hotwired it or something.

We'll take off shortly after 10:00 and head in a general north-east direction up Louisburg and then break off to some random roads in that generl direction.
Hopefully most can make it, if not there will be more.
