Default Great Rib Run!!!

Nabbs, You did an amazing job putting this together, and you even stayed all the way to the end!!!!
My wife and I had a blast.
However, I now hate Ike and Obey
Thanks to your lunch conversation about cracked windshields....I noticed a 14" crack when we got into our car to leave.....
But, it's no biggie....it was a great day with great peeps!

I agree! Great run (even though it was a twosome for a while), great food, great people... and it was nice to see Barry too. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Been too long since the last run for me. Hope we can get another one in before the weather turns sour.

NYC Vette, sorry for the jinx! We didn't mean to have anything happen, honest!

Nabbs,
Another great job!! Great day, people, ribs, cars, and weather. Maybe we can squeeze in one more before the winter.

It was great seeing you all today. I just love cruising on the Merritt Pkwy, I just wish we could have cruised a bit longer. Those roads are just made for high speed driving. It was a blast!!!

Nice meeting all you guys and gals, Dianna and I had a great time! Good cruise, good people, nice cars.

I hope I didn't give you all the wrong impression by letting you blast by me, I've only had 500 miles on the car (now 700), next time I won't be so easy to pass.

This is all theoretical of course? I know you follow the GM suggested operation of your Z06 to a "T"

Can't wait till you get a chance to theoretically see what she can do

Its okay, you don't have to wash your car for our runs because everyone knows mine will be dirtier and have even more brake dust than the rest
