second to third second to third second to third.........this isn't so hard to do......
Don't forget to have your Skip Shift Eliminator working, it's for slow GS starts I believe...and don't have to worry about all the shifting.... just kidding of course....good luck
Probably still won't be as fast as an A6 Baser...

really need to know a couple months in advance, so potentially could book a group of rooms in the area..................
Keep me in the loop on the timing as I am certainly interested. I have a buddy in Indiana that has a C5 that may want to tag along as well.

Assuming Hell (MI) doesn't freeze over, I'm planning to be in Bowling Green on July 20. It seems like 65 is out of your path until you get to Louisville. BTW, If you take US 127 out of Cinci, you can make several stops before you get to Frankfort at multiple stills .. 'er distilleries that are part of the KY Bourbon scene. Pappy's is in Frankfort http://www.buffalotracedistillery.co...t-us/our-tours and this site has more. https://kybourbontrail.com/map/

For a half mile race shouldn't it be more like first to second to third to forth?

We are a bit over 14 hours to BG......so it must be about 8 hours from KC (Google shows the north route quicker than a southern route for us) We could get to KC and spend a night with one of our daughters, then meet up with anyone along that route.

At this point I am contemplating my naval and a few other scenarios:
drive the GS to WA in May and then drive to BG and return to WA for the rest of the summer;
drive the GS to WA in May and then drive to BG, return to AZ and fly to WA for the rest of the summer;
leave the GS here in AZ and fly home to WA in May, fly back to AZ, pick up the GS, drive to BG, return to AZ and fly to WA for the rest of the summer;

Choices, choices, choices...

good thing you didn't think if driving your GS back to WA in May, flying into the Motor City in July, driving to KY in my 427, and then leaving me fend for myself as you take my 427 back to AZ for the summer..................

pretty certain you could lead the pack heading back west for a while..................... until you make the turn south to AZ

Or the Kentucky part...








Or the fraternizing part

A burglar broke into a house one night.

He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables;
and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, “Jesus is watching you.

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head,
promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, “Jesus is watching you.”

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

“Did you say that?” he hissed at the parrot.

“Yep,” the parrot confessed, and then squawked, “I’m just trying to warn you.” The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”

“Moses,” replied the bird.

“Moses?” the burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name a bird Moses?”


“The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus.”
