The good..riding with the "porsche guy" and got pulled over and BS his way out of a ticket, also the drive was fantastic on Friday morning to and from Skyway, Last but not least, winning 1st place in old school class.
The bad..I hate MINIs ...especially after this trip

The whole trip was awesome for me. I have NEVER seen so many rotaries in my life, it was fantastic! Here in Jacksonville it is just a sea of riced out Civics..
I was absolutely amazed at how awesome everyone was. There was not a single rude person in the group. I have been to car meets were I felt uncomfortable the entire time cause everyone was in their own little group, but everyone at DGRR was completely approachable.
Another thing that impressed me were the older rotor heads. It was great to meet gentlemen my grandfathers age that still cared about their cars, and were involved in the rotary community. Meeting guys who bought their first gens brand new, still had them, and maintained and improved them for over 30 years, is absolutely amazing to me.

And of course there are the roads. I live in Florida, were every road is straight and long, and ruled by wanna be drag racers. The dragon was severely intense, though I thought the skyway proved to be just as fun. I was finally able to use all the skills I learned dodging cones on a real road. They especially came in handy when I half slid off the road after hitting gravel on moonshiner 28. But even that was a blast!

The only bad thing I can think of for the whole weekend it that I live 8 hours away from it. I want to go for a drive now, and wish it was just 30 minutes away...
