Hey! Also a short note on dealsgap.com, from the Saturday blog:

"Looks like theres a small gathering of S2000's here this weekend. Looks like its mostly the core of the group that comes out a couple of times a year, and all are pretty good drivers."

(Did he say "Core"?)
OMFG! How awesome... x100

I _always_ try to understand both sides of an issue. Thus is discourse elevated and consensus achieved.
And he is unanimous in that position.

Dang..... took a wrong turn leaving McDragon and ended up in Hilton Head before we figured out we went the wrong way!

Finally made it back yesterday... had a great time driving back from Charlotte.... went up I-77 (two construction zones, 1.5 hours wasted!)...

When we got on the WV Turnpike, had a pickup truck in front of us for a while... hit 100+ a few times..

Then the fun began... blew by a Mercedes SL63 AMG!!!

He decided to stick on our bumper for a while.. and then he got around us.... then on a straightaway he took off.... he put a little bit of space between us... but not much... for 525 HP... thought he would have left us sitting still... Kathy said she saw 124 mph... but said we were still accelerating!!

Thats one pretty car!!! Guess for $135k it should look nice!

Oh well.. work tomorrow!

When's the next McDragon?
