Well you know, it isn`t for Sissies.

It`s a dirty job and someone has to do it.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

I've been waiting for you guys to put on
another great Nor Cal event.

I need to put an extra 1,000 miles on a car anyway. Should be doing something I like.

I graduate on the 12th, and I'd probably want to budget at least a week or two to get there, I'm still in the mid-stages of planning, so I can't give an exact answer. Late June to early July would be better, if that still works for everyone else. Either way, I'm sure I'll end up seeing a bunch of you guys anyway.

June 26th is my sisters birthday.... that doesn't really matter, but figured I'd note it, then the next weekend is July 3dr and 4th, so thats off limits. does the June 26th work or July 10th? or do you CA guys want to do it sooner rather then later?

yes

how come its only californians that are ever doing this kind of thing? Any drives in the northeast?

Makes me want to move to CA to join a community of like minded nuts.

to quote a friend of mine-
"You spend endless time and effort on this old, smelly, ugly car. You are always talking about things you are doing to it which make no sense and bores the hell out of me, and none of this stuff ever has anything to do with making it less old, smelly, or ugly. In the end, you still have an old, smelly, ugly car that you always want to drive and I HATE it"

She is not a fan, but they can't all be winners.
