Damn I looked through the first page & moved to the second. Didn't see the Route 66 post anywhere. LOL! Great thinking John

I've got all my tools loaded. Off to church with the family. Then back home to pack all my personally stuff for the next week. I plan to be on the road by 1pm today. Should be at Rand's place by 9

I'm hitting the road at 12:44. Tried to add a pic but no go. Live uploaded would help

You can still post 'em here Jamie. Just an extra step or 2. Take lot's of pic's on your way down here.

I set up the live event uploader to go to this thread.

And don't forget to add a subject line ...

And don't use a iphone 6+

Wohoo! Thx Andy.

Not quite sure how this worked but I actually emailed a pic!! Just getting packed.

iPhone guys, hold the phone like this when you take a picture ... home button on the right, volume control buttons on the bottom.

Thanks Andy. Very much appreciated.

We will try to make you proud. We hope we don't get the thread locked.

Jamie no longer coming. Rain storm, Hydro plane, guard rail

Oh no!

EDIT: My wife says your car is cursed.

You can use an iPhone as long as you know which side of the phone is UP ...

Oh no! Hope you are okay.

Death Valley today

Well my luck is total shit! Just east of Oakridge in a downpour. I came around a corner to hit standing water on the highway. Hydroplane sent me spinning. Ended up going into the other lane backwords & hit the guard rail at the passenger back corner. Wheel hit the guard rail & bent the trailing arm. Have 2 creases from the rail on the front flare. The rear is worse. All my gaps look good. Even in the rear trunk no creases. If the wheel hadn't caught like it did I think it wouldn't have even required a tow.

So to sum it up I won't be coming to Route 66. I'm pissed as I haven't had my car back long & already I've fucked it up. Last thing I want to do is relive it all weekend. So I wish you all the best. I think I may just disappear for a while

Bummer...

Major bummer. Glad you are OK. The car can be fixed.

I am fine thankfully. The collision wasn't that bad. A little wider road & I'd have stopped before hitting it. Although I'm getting a little stiff neck wise. Don't think I whiplashes really but seeing it coming I'm sure it was rigid. Sucky doesn't cover it. At the same time I am very thankful I caught no traffic coming the opposite way. Could have been so much worse. I don't think my car will end up being to bad. It is definitely fixable. Just disgusted with myself

WCR build party!

Crap I am so sorry! And glad your ok and that it wasn't worse

Effin rain! In the photos you can see the rain is standing on the road! I was really looking forward to seeing your car. Crap!

Have it ready for the fall and RRC!

We could take up an offering to fly you down?

I'd put up some dough…….?

I appreciate the offer but no. Actually after looking at flights to get me to vegas now for work. I am still driving down there. Not sure if I'll be up for Route 66 now though. Getting a little hosed with my tow bill. Although it should end up being covered eventually. I'm just getting it towed to a shop I trust. A little ever 100 miles away. So at this point I am not canceling my hotel reservation. I may still show up with my son as he is still flying to meet me in Vegas. Odds are I will end up showing for at least a day. I'm rethinking my whole trip at this point. Hell I've still got probably 2 hours before my wonderful wife get's here with my car. So it may change a few more times before she get's here. LOL

Dude...you drove your 914 in the rain? Really?



Glad you are OK... Really...

You can safely assume even before the wreck I was not happy about that. Only time I even had it in the rain was for an event. Otherwise it sits nice & dry in the garage

Not much choice going or coming to an event. Slits and I both went thru rain, sleet, snow, thunderstorms and a heat wave on one trip. Glad your still planning on attending.

Were watching the weather. We may have freezing rain Tuesday afternoon when we leave. Can't decide whether to head due south on I35 to 40 ( looks like rain across 40) or west at Des Moine through Colorado then south. Don't want to repeat Jamie's deal..

Total bummer.

Jamie what a bummer,,it can be fixed.... your luck suks

The Subaru curse. Sorry. I guess that ain't so funny.

It's not my car it is me I think! Curse has got to die sometime though right . So my family is bringing me my little hybrid. My wife left with my son for company driving her car. She is about 30 minutes out. I get excited as this Figaro's I am at is getting very old. Then she tells me my daughter is following in my car & just left the house . So I'll get to sit here for another 80min waiting for my car to arrive. Just keeps getting better & better

Although I will have company for the last hour

I think it's time you sell me the WRX motor. I'm worried about you running it in your car.

Yeah heck you have a month to get it ready for WCR. You could totally do that

Crap, very sorry to see this, Jaime. As you say, at least it looks very fixable. Good luck with it, and glad you weren't injured.

What a bummer ... such a cool car. I was really looking forward to seeing it again at the WCR. Hopefully you can get it fixed by then.

Dude

Glad to hear you're OK.

Maybe I shouldn't install the rocker panels, then?

Too bad for Jamie's car..Its great it was not worst and you were not hurt.. Looking forward to meeting all of you..Just keep one thing in your mind Desert drivers are the Worst and run red lights many times and always drive way over the speed limits.How do i know that just ask me at the meet..
Alan

Anybody going to R66 that has a spare passenger side visor clip/holder they are looking to sell? Mine just cracked.

So sorry Jaime and glad your OK!!! We know you'll get her fixed up like new and see you at an event soon

Wills, I'm looking for the visor clip now. Looks like it's gonna be HOT

I'm sure you'll find one there, Mike

Snow storm all across southern MN. Reports of tornados and wide spread hail from Texas through Oklahoma on up into Illinois. I think were heading West when we hit Des Moines...

It will be in the nineties in Palm Springs. Sit out by the pool and try not to think about it.

Weather forecast: 99 on Sat!
.

Good luck getting to Palm Springs..Bring some of that rain with you..We need it..

I kinda feel bad now, cuz I only have a 20 minute drive.
