    Ok so am so excited for the madness as I am sure everyone else is. I spent all day cleaning up fester. I picked him up about 10 months ago for 150 bucks and have since been polishing this rusty nail. Just finished up and am ready to get it aligned and install a tie rod end. My wife and I will be leaving wednesday around noon. Were headed first to st louis. Then nashville, ashville and raleigh. Anyone along the way that sees this beauty is more than welcome to honk or call me...Max Keller-605-366-5043. Best of luck to all who are going and those who are not I wish you were coming. Here she is...feel free to post your own departure and travel pictures....

                          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                            2200 miles so far, average mileage has been between 25 an 28. The stock b6t management loves to dump the fuel under any sort of load and I've been doing about 85mph the entire time. I need that taller 5th in my g25 and a rocketchip and I know it would be a lot better.
                            Here's a pic I took along the way.
                            Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
