Well thanks Greg, I'm glad I'm so memorable, HAHAHA. Consider the ride a done deal, I just can't say WHEN it's gonna happen, haha.

Im picking up dad in a couple hrs. whoo hoo.
Johny
Yeah we pulled Victor's engine pretty quick too. He had most of the stuff disconnected before I even made it to his house. Part of me wishes they'd make a 4th Gen, and part of me doesn't, cause my car will depreciate, HAHA. Congrats on picking up your Dad.

Yeah, that was the same trip. I thought he was a chemist, but I figured a chemist would know something like that was going to happen. Oh well.

Dammit, I can't see the pics Johny posted right now, I guess I'll have to look when I get home, haha.

Gary, I can't remember where exactly in Maryland it is but it's in June and I'm sure Johny will give more details once it gets closer. I'm still going, Keri said she wanted to go too. We may stop by DC for a little bit, who knows?

Oh I can see the pics now, I'm definitely going, haha. Damn. Oh yeah, I'd love to stop in DC myself, it's been years since I've been there and I'd love to see it again. Maybe we can stop by and say hi to Marion while we're there, if he's not selling/doing crack at the moment that is.

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?!

It's called a smokescreen Phil. I had Q hook it up for me while James was out on a mission. He also installed fender mounted rockets for the next ricer I see (if you get those doors Josh, start running, they fire by themselves), and gave me this cool pen, although I'm not sure what it...oh ****.

Anyone in the area have a truck and a tow strap? Or a trailer? Who was the guy that trailered the Porsche home that one time? Does anyone have his number? He may be able to help. I sincerely wish I could help you bro. God speed and good luck.

That just may have kept you and possibly others from being hurt or worse.

Dunno... if he had internet access this morning hopefully he was able to hook up with someone. Wonder how common, or uncommon, it is for our cars to have a problem like that.

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.

He might have a badass phone like some people (a.k.a. Gary and the other guy with the same exact phone (I'm really sorry that I forgot your name.)...and Doug...and...ok...so my V3i isn't looking so hot now...).

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.
I'll have 2 two-way-radios, if anyone else has any bring them along.
