You are most indeed welcome to come.

While I would love to do so, my trunk only holds so much oil, and well, the way you get there, Im not sure I could carry enough to do all the needed oil changes.

I was over at the other place checkin' out their club ideas. I found what someone posted a very nice compliment for the BGPM event.

For 07 I adopted BGPM as the event to attend and was more than pleasantly surprised. Drive was a little longer (9 hours) and Missouri is a sudden change in scenery (beautiful, but crazy roads), but for anything I could complain about the positives by far outweigh the negatives. Definitely the most "community" event I've ever been too. I will keep going as long as they keep having it. Gets bigger every year. Great cars, better people. Made new friends and had a great time.

Yep, that was me. It was a great time and a good cause. My wife and I both enjoyed it, even with my electrical problems and the "POP,POP, POOF".

Jason Klingaman on there, but Lowlyfe or LowlyfeGTP on all other forums at the moment. I had just gotten my LOWLYFE plates on my first 98 GTP a few months before joining CGP back in 1999.

Glad to see you here, and I hope to see you at BGPM this year.

Pimp it thermanlee, spread the word.

I think it was you and I, actually - wasn't it? I could be wrong...it happens frequently...

I think it was - I remember us looking at each other and almost at the same time saying - "That aint good..."


-Swash

"That aint good..."

That makes at least three of us that said that at the same time... I should have at least gotten a slowest ET award for that run. Wish I had my time slip handy, I can't remember what it was. Something like 32 sec at 24mph or vice versa. At least it started back up again before the end of the 1/4 mile and I didn't get the Ed Morad "blow it up award". Should have listened to myself, "Don't race you're 9+ hours from home". That situation really didn't help me with my nerves to actually get out there and try it. Next time I just know I'll have the pucker going. We'll see for 2008. Gonna try to change things up a bit.

Still not sure if everything was coincidence or not with that happening and then my fuel pressure gauge not working and then my alternator going bad all in the same day. I haven't messed with it too much, hoping the Optima is still good $$$.

hey it's only a 9 hour drive for me...nothin I haven't done b4...so maybe you'll see me there dependin on my schedule
