Car cleaning... thats what I'm about to start.... had it completely detailed last Sunday by a good friend that does it for a living and then got caught in the rain the other day 
Oh well I should see everyone in E.P. Black WS6 and I may or may not have the wife, she is currently undecided.

Well, Best laid plans of mice and men.
Cleaned the car this morning headed out with the top down about 12:50, by 1:00 it was so dark it seemed like it was night. By 1:05 it was raining so hard you could not see. Got half way through Decatur and the storm sewers were flooded. Had to back track and come home as I cannot obviously go through standing water unless I want to turn the intercoolers into sump pumps. Sorry I missed it, I was looking forward to meeting everyone. I hope those that did make it enjoyed it!

WOW....what a day!! Thanks to everyone for coming out. I had a blast! I hope we can do more events soon.
I want to apologize to everyone for the whole parking situation. I did not realize that I had to hold Hooters' hand. I assumed that when we had a meeting and they said "everything is taken care of" that everything was indeed taken care of. I promise everyone that it won't happen again for future events.
Thanks to everyone who took pics...they look great. Carri...I am thoroughly impressed with your photography skills.
I brought camera with full intention of taking lots of pics. Needless to say...between the beer, girls, and the BSing...I got distracted and didn't take even one.
E Wagz...sorry you couldn't make it. Sounds like you have a sweet car. Hope you can make it out to another event when the weather cooperates a little more and I can check it out.
