Ya know. You're tempting me to show up. It would be worth it to watch you get your azz kicked by Lilred.

I went to the meet at the Steakhouse a couple months ago and it was fun. I might show up to this one cuz I'm off on Thursday.

I'm just not sure what I have going on and don't know if I want to deal with 66 traffic.

We shall see.

That list looks like a series of nicknames for middle schoolers.

As usual I'm going to try to make it. Depends on the traffic home from work. If I didn't have to go home to take the dog out I would go right to the food place. But the poor dog already has to hold it for 9 hours. I know I couldn't do that!

As always, a big thank you to Robert for organizing this. Had a good time even though I felt lousy (dang eye surgery!)...looking forward to future dinner GTGs where I don't look like Bill the Cat.

I second six_speed's Golden China suggestion...will have to work that one into the mix at some point...till then, good seeing you all, have a good night!

Don't forget, Spring Skyline, just over a week away....

Pics...



I raced this sweet Carrera on the way to the place in bumper to bumper traffic for a couple miles. He was fast, too. I could never get any closer than a car length to him. That minivan must have had NAWS because it managed to stay ahead of the Porsche the whole way





The obligatory parking lot shot (not pictured are the cars not shown in the picture)









(Woo Hoo...Green stars )

I need to find one of those drop off cliff signs you see as you are driving in the mountains. Anyone know how I can get one?

No, he just had his little driving lights on when I passed him on 66. Maybe if he could see better, I wouldn't have passed him
