Default Chicago stop, met up with Nine Ball and some other folks...

Magnus and I worked on my car for a while and then I headed out to Dave & Busters and met up with Nine Ball, his girlfriend Lisa, Zangel, Brains, and also had a chance to meet Stephen Kim and Dave Freiburger from Hot Rod.

I hope next year I can long haul it I am sooooooo jealous.

I'll do the Long Haul next year. I went 3 stops this year and had a blast, probably the most fun I've ever had.

Wow, we actually split it up so it wasn't too bad. Friday evening we left and drove back to Chicago (after visiting some friends in Kenosha). We stayed the night there and started driving early Sat. morning. We drove 13 hours and made it to Baton Rouge, LA. We left around 11AM on Sunday, stopped for lunch and made it back to Katy, TX by 4PM. Splitting it up like that wasn't so bad.
