You got along *** ride.... go up I 84 to exit 65, rt 83/vernon ellington exit, stay to the left, take a left off exit onto rt 83, go down rt 83 south 2 lights, next light you come to, the car show will be right there on the right.

As for the pike, get to the pike the easiest way you know... and the d/d is easy to find, there's 2.. one will be pretty empty, the other packed... can't miss that.

84 to 691 is better for me to the Pike (used to date a psycho that lived out there, so I know that area pretty well)

I'll try and get to Ellington to start the night off right

I'm going to see if I can get out of some plans I already made for tonight... If I can I'll hook-up with you guys at DD later tonight. Looks like the weather is going to be cool, but it should be dry.

i've been looking forward too it, but had to drill this weekend. last summer was awsome, my friend and i (03 mach 1) met some really coolford guys at dd. just give it some time and the domestic crowd will come out in full force. Those rice guys are always out cause i don't think any of them really have jobs. btw girls are into rice because its trendy with the youger kids, like those stupid movies. but i've turned a few, once they see what a real car is. they'r bf's talk all kinds of **** about us, then we smoke em' infront of they're gf's and they get all embarrassed. it's great.

Hey Erik, sorry I couldn't hang out on Saturday... My buddy called and needed some help. Crystal was supposed to call and tell ya'll.

I'd have done the D&D thing on the pike earlier this year but that damn snow!

They were taking pics of us leaving? Cool

LOL... being a 35 y/o male, that's not a bad thing!!! God, I'm bad!

If the weather looks good next weekend, I'm going to try to make it back up there.

Steph if you can make it, it would be cool to see that worked-over ride of yours... sounds awesome! I need to have my car retuned (changed some stuff). I've heard so many good things about Don that I might like to give him a try to see what kind of magic he can work on my car. It would be cool if he could fit me in within the next week or two, but I know he must be busy.
