From LX to MSP- my build.

They haven't decided a date yet. Register on Street unit.com forums for info.

I split up the drive over two days on the way down, stopping near South of the Border the first night. The way back, I left Bradenton at 7am and got back around 10:30-11:00pm. I made a stop about every hour to stretch for a few mnutes, cruise control would have been nice on that trip :(
 
16hrs..god damn thats a trip..ohio was like a 6-7hr trip and that was a b****..of course i was in a 1980 ford f100. left at 7am and home by midnight
 
I dont know when or where it will be exactly... I dont believe they've decided that yet. But it'll most likely be somewhere close to orlando or tampa.
My roommate is from Annapolis, MD and he drives homa all the time.
It's not that bad, and he drives a Ranger.

you still down for the sunday drive?

Sorry I missed this yesterday. Yeah I will be there. I'm going to go get a oil change and wash my car in a few. If your car isn't ready you can ride with me, unless you're going to take the Taurus (aka the BEAST) :)

Did you see this on the pics page? A pic of your wheels:

i need a hood, yes. but for cheap. and before next weekend....dunno how to do that...it's gonna be type R white.
 
the hood is in lynchburg va, and right now I'm in harrsionburg va at school.
Good choice with the type R white. i would be willing to let it go pretty cheap, i think it has a small dent thats only noticeable if the light hits it exactly right...

Would you even be able to notice if it was clean? tehehe.

Good pictures.

This is one of the only times I wouldn't recommend washing a car.. if the whole darn thing is getting repainted don't bother.. just windex the windshield and front door windows and call it a day :P

Hahaha, agreed.
 
HaH I used to do that back in my "ricer" days. Instead of cleaning my hubcaps in my old 90 Protege I would just re spray paint them gold.
