[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah thanks for understanding. What time are you guys meeting up at Bill's? I may just bring my radar detector that I originally planned on installing anyhow and see if we can't get that installed.

I'll check your response in the morning, i'm outta here for the night.

It was awesome meeting everyone! I couldn't believe how much it rained! Definitely had a good time, it was helpful atleast with all the stuff that had been goin on lately.

Bill and Jen, thanks for your hospitality and for washin the ride for me!

Same thing that happened to yours, I think. Oil starvation.

Today was unique to say the least. I'm glad we decided to bail on the drive, the weather was just too bad.

Mike(Protege), sorry to hear about your car, hopefully it's not too bad to repair and get ya back out there. One thing can be learned from this...check your oil before you run! I've suggested that before we leave the roadhouse we have a 'safety inspection' where we check oil/tire pressure in everyone's vehicle. I hope that we don't lose any more vehicles on the route again.

Mike (MS3) nice meeting you tonight, glad to help out with the radar thing. I'm gonna get the specs in person, draw it up in CAD, then measure the mirror shaft, and see if I can't make a few.

Bill/Jen - Thanks for having everyone over tonight, great time. Glad that we had something fun after all of today.

On a positive note about the fun run with standing water and a huge downpour all day we had a couple cars with CAI's and no hydro locked motors, so its been confirmed again that you have to do something really stupid or drive into a lake WOT to do that.

Mike (protege), that is a real bummer, keep us updated on whats up. The run has now claimed 2 protege's, not good.

It was defiantly a good idea to bail on the rest of the fun run, too bad my damn gps took us some weird ass way back to 94 to get to Bill's. Thanks for having us over, I dont know how productive it was washing cars in a downpour but after some brown pops it was fun. I have that dvd for you too Bill.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah washing cars in the rain was hilarious! I'll bet you forgot your wheel cleaner didn't you Matt!

I vote to officially change the name of the fun run too:
"MI Fun Drive, Destroyer of Protege's"
