DGRR 2011-Best and Worst Experiences

[Buggy]

The good: The Rx-4 made the trip and I could actually push it pretty hard around the gap! I had the front brakes smoking at the lookout at one point.
The bad: Taking the Rx-4 on the trip. No cruise control, LOUD exhaust, 4 speed transmission, 4000 RPM for endless hours on the interstate equals I'M HEARING IMPAIRED!

Hahaha! I hear that Buggy...or I think I do. Mine was the same way cept I only had to drive to and from Texas, straight pipe and a straight through 'muffler' at 4200 RPM will leave your ears ringing.

Best: The ATL Caravan, it was pretty cool seeing that many rotaries crusing down the road.

Worst: Leaving, the weekend always go by so fast. Wish I had more time to hang out with the people I see once or twice a year.

Yeah, never did get to give you a ride either, that's ok though..... she's WAY faster now that we played with the boost control a little.

Bad: all the damn rotary cars!!!! haha... jk... bad part is that it is only 2-3 days long...

May have to start "Deals Gap Former Rotaries Rally" for us dark siders...

One of my best moments was going toe to toe.... or bumper to bumper with a certain LT1 FD and then having the driver say, wait till I'm through with breakin, and me saying, wait till I'm off Wastegate I will eat your silly V8 for breakfast and poop it out on the side of the rd :hugs:
