Those pics are just SOME of the reasons why I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I moved here!
You just can't beat the views and the drives!

Thanks for the great pics and awesome post!



Paul


P.S. I wish I'd known you were going to be out here, I would have met you for a drive somewhere!

Yeap, you have the spring Bomber Run to attend. The route is already worked out.

We can do a fair trace to do a run in a place where it would be the same driving distance for everybody. Other C4 from that state would join as well. Based on my Map software a middle point when I triangulated California, El Paso and Edmonton is Twin Falls , Idaho. Closed to John and his C5. This means it will have to be an open Bomber Run.

I also have to do a Bomber Run in Pennsylvania, this way Joe would come along and we can bury the hatchet.

Idaho would be great! In fact, roll through Yellowstone while we're up there......Teton Pass, etc. Now we just have to talk the cat into coming down....

March or April ? you guys know where you're headed. Even April can be very nasty. I would love to meet up with you guys, but planning that far out is very difficult for us business wise. But that being said, if it you can look at near the end of June, maybe, just maybe

That's close to my neck of the woods, I'm in if you would like the company. Maybe one of you can look at my floor mats for me.

Yep, we spend Saturday morning and afternoon at the show then go out to dinner. Then Sunday at the track. I took my car on the big oval last year but was a big disapointment because we barely were able to get to 95 mph because the pace cars won't allow any faster.

We'd definitely want summer for anything that far up north...can still get blizzards even into late April. June-Sept would be best.

I'm in for the Calif bomber run (as long as we avoid I-15 ). Marco is getting new shocks, and then I'm ready to roll. April would be great.

Datawiz, DDCart and Oyealiz were running at the track Sunday morning also, in Liz's cars.
Too bad you didn't come to the party at Mikes on Sat. night. Most of the Dallas club were there along with the other VB people in town.

June-Sept would give me a fighting chance to have the 93 running.

You dont want us to inspect them. We already discussed your installation via PM and it has been determined the dealer screwed you. The pictures revealed they actually chopped an extra cargo liner and placed that one on your passenger side.

You are safe but, I have to drive on that one and would be safe once I reach Baker.

We stay at the Marriot right across the street. We are the drunken group that sits just outside the back door going to the pool area. I was going to hit up the Dallas area people to see who attends this event. It would be cool to meet up with some new faces. Are you going this year?

My best advice I could give would be to take it to a certified mat installer place and let them do a complete new mat install. The cargo mat thing was embarrassing.
