Short ones Hopefully be broke in by then, if nothing else, put 300 miles on it and the 200 over will get me to 500, but I'd prefer to have it broke in so I can have fun on the way over

I was talking about the Miata that stuffed itself between the mountain side and the road, in the ditch. Fit like a glove.

actually last year i noticed more motorcyclists acting up than cars, several coming very close to the yellow, especially on the right handers, leaning into oncoming lane. I saw two of them that weekend put their bikes down.

and fuck breaking in motors haha mine has a blown coolant seal, im going to wait till after deals gap to put the new engine in, that way i dont have to baby it the whole time. just have to remember to top off the coolant every stop lol

Joey, Blue Miata. I wouldn't know anything about that...

So I lied, the infamous run!

He was behind the camera car. We never knew we lost him.

I had a few close calls with bikes driving between the yellow lines... There were two I could have tapped on the helmet with ease.

I rememeber last year a crotch rocket almost caused a major accident. He decided to pass two Harleys going into a 90 degree corner, almost ran a Mitsubishi Lancer of the road. The Lancer driver managed to stay on the road, but overcorrected and almost hit the Harleys. Damn stupid people

Sounds good man, I can't belive he got it done so fast. I am bringing him up another AFM and ECU for the GSL-SE so he can try em and see if it helps it out.

There was guy who had no business being on a crotch rocket crash right in front of me last year. Only his pride and ride got hurt fortunately.

No, payment is not mandatory. However the Banquet, Awards Ceremony and I believe the Car Show are part of the paid fee. Also a T-shirt is included as well as a discounted room at Nahalla.

Yeah, I'm bringing my own food, my car isn't nearly nice enough to be in the show, and I'm buying a t-shirt. Damnit, I act like a 1st Gen owner even though I'm not one...
