9CCD III: Official Chat Thread

[kgf3076]

Little O/T but a good article from Jalopnik about the dangers of speeding in Virginia. Definitely a little sobering.

Never Speed in Virginia: Lessons from my Three Days in Jail.

Anybody stupid enough to drive 93 mph on Rt 211 gets exactly what he deserves. Some roads are not made for driving 55 much less 93.

 

[kgf3076]

Definitely will keep it under advisement. Will be especially careful in the 70 zone to not cross 80

Jason, that Brat is all you

I run +9 and have never had a problem. YMMV.

 

[bootyluvr]

+1! and it's BLUE

death_roll...this is you. You need to snag this thing, sort it out and bring it to the Dragon meet.

Only thing I would do is bolt the back seats back in to give people a ride of their lifetime, and charge money for it.

 

[death_roll]

I think I'm going to pull an all nighter and drive down Tuesday night.

Stoptech street pads and STR600 brake fluid ordered, gotta do that and the rear differential oil in the coming weeks. I'm giving til the end of the month to decide if I'm going to go aggressive with the tires. The RS handles and grips much better than any car I brought so far so I'm thinking it'll be a fun ride regardless of if I get new rubbers.

Fontana's website says check in isn't until 4PM, but I'll still see if I can get into the cabin if I show up in the morning, I'll definitely need some rest.

Well good news. My vacation has been approved for September 12-21. I have never owned a car until now and feel like this will be a trip to remember. I am going to try to make it up there for at least a couple days.

Talk about your baptism by fire...

But seriously, you'll have a great time on the roads down there, just don't drive over your head or cross the yellow...like ever.

I will take it slow. I really just want to leave this Louisiana heat and see some nice scenery. It's hard to take all that in going 100mph

Damn.... Good luck and be safe, there are plenty of dragon veterans who are willing to help you as well... Just take your time

I have an open seat and can do ride-alongs. Especially if I get some RE11's in the coming weeks before the meet.

 

[07TLX]

I also have a open seat in the "slow" LX...... I don't need new tires seeing how I have put less than a 1000 miles on my new set...

 

[SpartanML]

Because of the Legacy's known weight issues and my own extra weight. I will not have a seat open. So much so I threw out my co-pilot from the May trip some of you met. I told him if he wants to come back he'd have to bring his own car. Hahaha.
