Nix, I'm in the "'Stan" at the moment, and have a differential/axle issue to sort out with the civic anyhow. (Won't be back til mid-July-ish)
Should have plenty of time to get that, and maybe the "new wheels" situation, sorted and possibly bring both Dragon capable cars for the Sept. event.
(Here's hoping, anyhow.)
Edit: Oh, @Nomar06 @Tony An @mattsbobo - It looks like I'll finally have the Redshift suspension in my hands at that point! Only been waiting 8 months so far, right? NBD. :| (Also decided to snag Progress' 24mm rear sway while at it - Needed adjustable endlinks for the front in order to have the car fully corner balanced, which are ~$100 anyhow, so just figured why not buy the 24mm kit (w/ included adjustable links) and just sell the Progress 22mm for the remaining difference.)

Let's get a show of hands for "maybe". No obligations. April 1st (no foolin') we'll get a show of hands for "definite maybe" Then on May 1st we'll ask for "Probably.... but no guarantees"... which is as close to YES as you can get.
Of course, come May 15th -- before I leave Cali -- I'd really like to know how many. I'd hate to be the only one there... really!
Im still a maybe..... it all comes down to the parents haha
More $$$
Pretty much. Trying to pay off my wife's student loans quickly. Figured I may as well since I am not taking any classes. Plus, I have taught the classes before...so minimal prep work required.

Absolutely!
We could probably manage a weekend trip to your neck of the woods sometime if you have some free time. Show us the sights. We have only been there once, but were really only passing through.

So many mercenaries out there these days... so come on, you should expect to offer a "per diem", right? Or at least a per mile!
I offered my car to Nix last year and he (unbelievably) turned me down! But something tells me you wouldn't make that same mistake.
I offered my car to few people as well last year and they turned me down as well....

That's because nobody was strong enough to depress your clutch.
But I get it, mine was lame and yours was normal.

I get too nervous driving other peoples cars.... something happened once... never again. I have bad luck with certain things.
Ex: If I park in a no parking spot I will get a ticket. I can watch other people park there for days and nothing happens. Me? 10 min. and ticket.
Ex2: If I turn on my blue LEDs while driving: cops show up. It's like a magic magnet. I have never gotten stopped but I just always always see them and more of them.

I have no idea what the hell those are... but I can't wait to see them on a pitch black North Carolina night!
Hopefully you'll be in front.

Am I the only person on the planet that cringes when I hear the word "her" used to refer to an inanimate object?
