  • Just finished cleaning up the car a bit inside, getting ready for leaving in a few hours! Going to meet the madness crew in WV around 11, then head on up to area 241.

    Skeeter's seen better days as far as looks go, some lovely person put a nice dent in a rear 1/4 panel while it was parked the other day and I haven't had time to fix it... but I did get the important things done: front wheel bearing, replaced bent LCA, two new falken tires, alignment, fuel filter, MSD coil + accel wires, etc.
    Time for a road trip!!!! Can't wait to see ya'll there!

                              • ok, so ive ran into issues. i was gonna go with my dad, who was gonna pay for gas, as i have no job. he just called me and said he cant go, and i have no way of getting money to go. i have enough money to get to summit and back. i hate asking this more than you know, but if anyone reading this with plans on going thinks they could help out, i'd be eternally grateful. ive been excited about this event since i heard it was happening, and i'd hate to miss out because of something stupid like gas money.
