back at the crib !
18 hours in the gt 500 was a ******blast****** on the way home today. Like flying an F-18 while being in a dogfight with a bunch of cessna 172's. lol I met a great Sgt with LSP when I got off the 18 mile bridge near Baton Rouge. The guy flying the plane wanted him to have a chat with me.  so we talked about the car and how many months we both have left on the job and then a handshake and off I went. Nice guy in a freaking fast !! Tahoe.  Put the cruise on 83 for most of the trip, except for a couple of "breeze outs" on the open road in Alabama. The car still got an average of 21.4 mpg over the entire 2850 mile trip. I had a good time and am looking forward to the 50th in Vegas with all the west coasters !!

Glad you made it hope safely, Jim! I enjoyed seeing you again. And Mike, thanks for the hospitality and taking us to The Shack for the awesome burgers. I enjoyed meeting Tom, Bret, Todd/Denise, and Bob from FEP. I had a GREAT time! Getting to Jim's was uneventful, and our tandem 16-hour drive to Beaumont went off without a hitch (except when our Garmins gave us different routes to Texas from Nashville!).
 This was my first MCA show. I rec'd a few questions about my Delaware license plate, but I was beat out for the long distance award by some Mustangers from Washington state and the winner from Maine. The show site was perfect for the event -   Tom's car was the only SSP in attendance -  There are more pictures to be found here... http://public.fotki.com/28HopUp/mca-beaumont2013/ ...which includes photos from Friday night's BBQ, and a sweet 1959 El Camino that came by as we were in the parking lot behind our hotel. The ride home took 26.5 hours, including the time change and a 1-hour nap along the way. A literal high point of the trip was a detour through the Shenandoah Mountains -  Total distance traveled = 3,406 miles. It's time for another oil change!

Bill there is no way you had any bugs on your car?? They were all on mine.
I spent 4 hours today cleaning her up. Miraculously not one single chip in the paint !! She is all tucked away now.

Man I'm sad I had to miss this one. The new job was certainly worth it, but I hate missing these shows. Tom's car really needed some company there too. Bill, I'm glad you came away with a new parts stash for the SMPV!
