Damn - looks like everyone is having fun. Why is PA so far from CA???? Hey there are those fenders again.....I hope nobody is exposing them to adult fun in that room They are destined to be part of my Six.

Special thanks to Glenn Stazak (GMS) for bring them to Hershey and selling them to me and Scotty for checking them out and hauling them back to VA for my Six.

Finally got back into Canada.. little Matrix loaded up with parts and the boarder guard took a look in back and just said " pull over to pay taxes"... It was still less than I thought which was great ! Mel and I had a great time meeting " y'all " :-)

Who charges tax in this case, US or CA?

Canada.
It's also a crap shoot on taxes, you are allowed so much free then it's up to the officer, some charge you on every penny, some go "meh...pay the tax on this and that but forget the rest", and some don't even want to be bothered and just wave you through.

I was going through customs with a praticlly a whole VW bug (front and rear hoods 4 fenders, etc) stuffed in my car, 3am guard asked if other people were in the back seat I told the officer what it was and she closed her booth window.
I gave her the and she motion me to GTFO
One other time I thought I was going to get probed
As long as you claim a reasonable amount they are cool with that, just don't totally BS them.

When you cross into Canada you only report to Canada customs, not US customs.

Same deal when going into the US, only US customs you don't stop at Canada Customs.

I saw yer car in some earlier pics Scooter. And don't worry, Mike and I still plan to paint it for you when we come down.

Dave's got a great idea on how to paint your wheels.

What museum did you guys stop at?

AACA Museum

I already told you guys feeding the dog a bucket of Stag chilli, ex-lax and paint won't work.

Thanks!

My old car! Looks awesome! This is one clean (for an East coast) 914.

Wich car was your old one ?

It was good to see everybody again this year and hang out at the Palmyra Knights Inn!

The 650 mi. round trip in my 914 was safe and uneventful.
A bit chilly Saturday night without the heat exchangers hooked up though.
The only problems were one fuse and one turn signal bulb blown.

That downpour Friday evening totally sucked though, while I was out picking up a canopy for Saturday - which turned out to be more of a liability than an asset with the wind we had all day.
After I got back to the motel I put on the "Carbrella" but I don't think it rained anymore overnight.

Hello Colorado Rockies!

The downpour Friday was NO JOKE.

We had JUST gotten into Underdogs for dinner when that wave hit. I was watching it roll in while we parked. People that came in 5 minutes later were soaked head to toe just from going from their car to the door of the eatery.

Happily, that was the only real rain we got all weekend.
Saturday was very windy. Many of us who put up Easy Up tents for sun and possibly rain protection quickly pulled the canvas off and spent the day under bare poles. It took me until Sunday to get warm again from spending Saturday in the wind. With my 10x10 Easy Up anchored to Chris's 914 on one end, Garold trailer on the other, and 5 wheels to block the other 2 legs, the gusts were still moving it around. No rain in sight Saturday or Sunday!

I was beat by the time I got back to the Knights Inn. Ate a bunch or ribs, drank a respectable amount of beer. Tasted the gas can. Wanted not to be hung over the next day since I was going to be celebrating my son's 5th birthday with the family before I got home. I was way dehydrated Sunday morning but I think that was more the wind then the booze. 1/2 a gallon of Gatoraid before breakfast and I was right as rain. Sunday night I got to bed at 10PM and was asleep about as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I have 4 hours of video edited down to about 6 minutes. Mostly the ride Friday, but a little of the setup for the show Saturday morning. I'm working on the audio now and will post it maybe tonight or tomorrow.

We like Ike...

Almost home.

Ahhhh... Planet Utah

Looks like Green River.

Awesome, thanks!

Sunset

They are currently in my garage.
I'll get them down you Scotts then next time I get down there. His car was full to the brim.

Zach

Ahhh, did everyone at Hershey this year have the pleasure of hearing this car get revved in the parking lot every 5mins of each day?

Sounds good, thanks Zach!

Several grand worth.....and then I came home and bought $300 more for urgent care stuff

You can afford it, you're a Doctor.

Did leoN make Evil get rid of his Playboys Medical books?

The lid was loose on one of them ( they had been taped shut ) all I saw was

" The pleasures of modern proctology "

I told Zach my car was full and he would have to take them.

Nope, not goin' anywhere near those boxes

Speaking of proctology, Scott, aren't you about at that age where you need to see a Doctor for a checkup?

No Adumb I'm not. Please quit offering. It's starting to seem a lot like begging

I'm not a Doctor yet, and I wasn't offering.

I just figured since you're perma-grumpy, a checkup might be in order to soften you up a bit, so to speak.

Monday night at the movies.

Oh great
Here we go with the tranny fisting again.

Was it FS?

Let's hope so.

Heres the build thread on that LS6 car if anyone is interested.

Great seeing all you East Coast Teeners again this year and Big Thanks for showing the Southern guy's a good time! Once again managed to stay away from the Gas Can and the Shine and my body thanked me. Freakin 15 hours in the saddle one way is a real bitch tho!! At least Erc had a couple of co-drivers?? Lightweights..LOL

The first time I saw the LS car it had been driven to the RCR in Huntsville with the Alien. Solid white like in build thread.

Extra thanks go to Zach/Matt for the circle tour of downtown Gettysburg *poke*

Next year maybe, errr maybe not!!

Probably looks "exactly" like Green River or... Say about 7 miles north of there in Hwy. 6. Good eye.

Should I throw out... "Ray's"?

Stupid video was 92% compiled and crashed! Grrr. Starting again. Sure put a lot of time into a 4 minute video.
8 gig of memory is only barely enough for compiling HD video.
I so want to get that new GoPro using the offer in the Box. But I am afraid that would lead to buying a lot more memory or a new desktop...
Zach

Where can I get a hood like this with the vent on top?

Get an external HD just for camera stuff.
