Right now driving to PES to get the car. US Air was only 1 hr late for a 1 hr and 20 minute flight
Planes bathroom was broke and the air didn't work. Stay tuned for the first drive!

Glad that you're back in the saddle again. Hope you took it easy and didn't attempt to drive to Michigan by way of Texas again.

Well I drove about 3 hours last night amd stopped in breezewood, PA for some shuteye. Tried to post an update but couldn't get on the web. I am now near Akron, OH and the car is running great! I have been behaving myself but made a couple quick runs leaving toll booths and such. Car is WICKED FAST! Stay tuned about 4 more hours and I will be home.

Made it to Toledo needed to make a pitstop. Some poor guy in an M3 use to think his car was fast. Hey he started it I pulled up behind him in the fast lane and he takes off. Well I literally ripped his doors off I know not a fair race but it was still fun! I guess Tony creamed some kid in an 11 second Supra last night before I arrived. He stopped and the kid gets out his phone and starts taking video of the car that wasted him!

Too fun, almost home.

See, Hana was the f***in' jinx

Seriously, glad you made it back sans gendarmes. Let's keep it so the only cuffs you wear are fur-lined
