I remember that, then he tried keeping up with me.
I like the Taurus SHO's.

- Rented a C8 for a week (what a monster) ended up buying a TLX. Beautiful car inside and out. Killer stereo. Handles better than it should given its weight. Not my dream car, just a Honda Accord in a tux.
- Body Style
- Sedan with the backseat of a two-seater

How is it my fault? I couldn't take that much time off work. I was working on a project Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. If I requested off for this week also they would have denied it.

Over 4k pounds is portly. Especially for an Ecoboost AWD wanna be bus.

All I hear are excuses.
Just stating the truth. Haters gonna hate. :P

Hey, i was just joking man. I had scheduling issues myself... but consider my offer an open invitation for next year or whenever. 1-way airfare from BWI to SMF is only $300... and i'm down for that anytime you want to come out prior to a Dragon. Cali's a pretty cool place and i'd love to show you around if you've got the time.
In fact for those missing this Dragon maybe @Nix can put together one of his epic spring flings. I know he can't wait until next September.

@death_roll ... what's your impression of the MR2 compared to other cars you've driven?
^ is an EPIC trip. Everyone knows about the Moonshiner 28, my all time fave. Then the 441 east is a glorious stretch of 4 lane highway that drops several thousand feet. But the real deal is the 281 and the 215, which I prefer driving northbound for the added traction. You guys are going to love that route.
BTW, there is an actual "Devil's Triangle" way up north. Wicked switchbacks. http://devilstriangletn.com
Generally has to be done before or after the entire trip to the Dragon.

He has it but it's been stripped back down to stock form and about to be up for sale.

Looks like it will probably only be me this year. Don't think the Si will be fixed in time for my son to drive too.

That sucks man....I'll get you squared away money wise. Remind me if I haven't done it by the time the meet comes around.

It's no big deal either way. Maybe leave it and if someone shows that forgot to pay it can cover that. We can work it out after the meet, if you want.

On my way to Franklin NC with Bailey. He is doing the street survival school tomorrow.
