This weekend was glorious. Absolutely gorgeous weather, beautiful cars, and the most diverse/hilarious/easy-going group of people I've ever met. Thank you everyone for making this one of the best experiences with my S2000 ever.
Was great hanging with you and Keith, glad you made it home safe. Let me know when you get the videos edited and up. See you guys at C&C.

Question should be....

Did you make it to the gas station without pushing your car to it?

He said he had 0 bars on the gas gauge!

Well the time I left Fontana and the time sitting at Deals Gap waiting for the gas station to open are two different things

Definitely took the dragon for 1 last trip . Felt a little different fully loaded that is for sure.
