How about an old friend and his +1. Made a room reservation in the lodge. Bringing the domestic muscle car. Looking forward to see how it handles the curves vs. the S (God rest her soul!).

Should get up there around lunch time on Friday for the famous Dragon Burger!

See you then!

or you could tell her you fell down on the sidewalk while walking the dog and broke your legs...thats definitely believable
He's already tried that and look how well that worked out. Besides, at 80 degrees, who's going to believe he slipped on ice?
The ice could have fallen from the drink I was having during the walk!

I just made our reservations in the Lodge. They sent an e-mail for a $69 rate, but you have to tell them you have the e-mail and request that rate.

Can't wait

Let's see:

Former S2000 specs:
In-line 4 cylinder with Vortech S/C, mugen header, and mugen exhaust
300 rwhp
197 lb/ft torque
Only computer was engine management and ABS
Throttle cable
2800+ lbs.

Corvette
Pushrod V-8 w/ K&N intake and Billy Boat Exhaust
356 rwhp
372 lb/ft. torque
More computers than you can imagine
ABS, drive by wire, 3 levels of traction control, automatic trans. w/ paddle shifters
3,199 lbs.

It should be like old times, I will get you in the straights and lose time in the curves. FUN LEVEL SHOULD BE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!!!

As far as test drives, I will be open to it.
