Good news: Got the rear-end in the car last night and finished the break in this morning.

Bad news: I need to adjust the tune in a BAD way, no way the car will be ready for this journey by Saturday.

Route looked good today. I think It'll be a great mix of town/4-lane/and 2 lane, as well as some curvy roads. The drive took me about an 1.5 hours so probably tack on another 15 minutes for a large group. It's gonna be fun!

Also, went back and did a rough count. Looks like we'll see 30+ cars if everyone shows that has made the commitment.

Probably about 20 with a standard deviation of 10. That would be a good guess at this point in time. lol

Today was a great day! It was awesome seeing some old faces again and meeting some new ones. We had, in total, 34 vehicles for today's cruise!

Below are some short videos of some of the cars that were able to make the trip to Purdue to partake in the 2nd Annual Purdue Cruise.

I know the feeling!

Even though I wasnt able to bring my TA due to a slow body shop, my dad and I still had fun in the BMW, though we felt a little out of place.

Looking forward to doing it again!

Hey guys....thanks for letting the Ferrari come out to play! (My appologies to the BMW behind me for the Italian drops of love!) Would love to get together again with some local folks (I live a 1/2 mile from Meijer!) to turn wrenches, drink beer, BS...whatever. I have an old IROC so I think I can be accepted if I talk about dropping an LS1 into it right? LOL thanks again....had a blast!
