Come on Mark. Inspection only matters if they catch you.

Tire Pressure?? Is the tire holding air?? Then dont stress it????

Loose Exhaust???? Got some DUCT TAPE????

End of story!

Your right no real worries just a PITA. I wish you were there when I was putting my engine in; I could have used your resourcefulness.

The damn sensor crapped out yesterday and put me into reduced handling mode 55 MPH max. It was indeed painful to drive 55 on the southern. I couldn’t hack it and got off and took local streets. Took my time, had a nice cruise, saw some nice locals. Can't believe the sensors have lasted this long with the speed and heat of track but I reprogrammed the sensor a few hours back and I'm ready to go!

Limp driving mode stinks.

As for helping with the Engine. Anytime. Steve and Leigh are constantly showing me that there are ALWAYS extra, not needed parts. It makes for a quick install.

Sharp Provolone? anyone? Maybe we could get a menu of possibilities on a destination from Rex Ruby, 01Z06 black and the Philly folks. We know a GREAT martini bar (Firewaters) with a hotel, a Hooters, and an exclusive Beer Bar all in the same building. Just and idea.

Florida was good except I had to drive through Tropical Storm Fay. We both hit Jacksonville the same day. All was ok, just drove a little slower. Got the youngin to college and came home.

I was going to drive to Cunningham this past Thursday but the bridge was a mess. I'll try this coming week.

I would definitely be up for another philly run. That was a good time. I just wished some of you guys slowed down so I could have caught up. But still had fun with everyone that was riding with the only GTO there. ha. Just let me know when its happening.
