I love the picture of me on the rock though.

Ha. TWO groups?? The last 4 cars in the caravan sat through at least 8 lights watching everyone else go. When we (the last 4-5 cars) finally got moving it was pedal-to-metal madness all the way until we were past the Kutztown interchange (led by Chris who decided we needed to catch up at NEAR triple digit speeds when the road opened up) and finally caught up with the rest of the pack. I watched 3 people go straight through the light on 100 while me, Marty, and the Velicoraptor(sorry, name escapes) all turned onto the bypass and took off.

Yea that was Chris. He had the vid cam up on top for the whole way even before we caught up with you guys.

Where's the footage!?!?!

[gary]

give him some time, he puts some long hours in at the hospital but when he has some days off, I am sure we will see it.

No no gary it wasnt meant at you, title was just more of a joke...when the beretta owner pulled over and threw his arms up....priceless.

I think maybe having a few people assigned throughout the group to be like "squad leaders" rather then everyone who knew where they were going up front. It all worked out and really glad i went.

Theres a pic of my elbow and 3 inches of my roof line in 23 pages of pics. Damnit, should have put a giant masking tape pecker on my car.

Had fun guys, cant wait to be back in the Lehigh valley!

The light coming out of Wawa is what held everyone up. I saw you about to pull out when I made the left turn off 100 South to pull into Wawa. I pulled in to Wawa, set up my video camera, mounted it on the roof of the car, attached the tethers for the camera mount and started recording video. I didn't pull out of the side street by Wawa until six and a half minutes after I started recording video. I'm guessing it was closer to 10 minutes between the time I made the turn into Wawa and the time I pulled out. Since I arrived late, I didn't know what radio frequency everyone was using so I couldn't radio ahead and let you know that there were several groups that haven't left yet.

There were cars behind me pulling out of Wawa that turned around and took other back roads out of there that did catch up with the main caravan before we did since they didn't wait at the light for 6+ minutes.

I also saw that some cars took the Business 222 route instead of the 222 Bypass that we were suppose to take. I programmed the Google Maps route you posted in into my GPS the night before since I wasn't sure If I'd be able to make it to the meet.

[telopyros]

can't wait to see the video chris....i know when you guys came up flying by us should have made a GREAT shot.

LOL i kept trying to use my radio, only thing i ever heard was "RUN THE LIGHT , RUN THE LIGHT" once we got off 222.

HAHA yeah i had nooooo freaking clue where i was going, i figured id pull over and let someone who knew get in front instead of leading everyone the wrong way... My intentions were to follow my friend the whole way bc he had the directions BUT when everyone left the parking lot it was a free for all, every car show ive ever been to before this one exits car by car, row by row so i lost my friends car in all the madness. I had a good time tho, anyone catch any shots of my car at the show? I forgot to charge my camera batteries!!!

It was mine, dude i looked all over for you too, then when the beretta owners met up i was on my way to dairy queen bc i was just plain hot and wanted to cool off and i needed to map out my route when i left bc i was going to a few places in lancaster afterwards. When i finally got done and came back over the others said you left.. sux but hey did u get any pics of my car at the show? Maybe if theres another show somewhere we can meet up and cruise together.

[telopyros]

Hey virus... I did want to mention...nice berreta.

[ViRuS]

Thanks telopyros, lol when we were pulling outa wawa i heard someone in the civic yell nice,was that you?

[telopyros]

lol probably...

I only got two decent ones of your car. The work looks nicely done. I saw the head unit in the cup holder which looked pretty good but could not see much else of the interior because your tint is so damn dark. Have you done anything to the motor?

Thanks, and lol i used to have 5% tint in back and 20% tint on the drivers and pass side windows until i got fined by a cop with nothing better to do, i had that tint on for 5 years and never had a problem. Now its 20% in back and 35% in front. As far as work done its nothing more than a gasket matched head, ported intake manifold and ram air intake, side exit exhaust with no converter and a flowmaster muffler, and i have 4 into 1 headers that i still need to put on. Its a new engine and full suspension, lowering springs, shocks struts balljoints tierod ends and polly bushings. Im switching it to a 5 speed next summer bc this summer i want to get my v8 s10 up and running. Check out my journal's, ill put some new pics up asap bc i moved last week and had alot to do lately.
