Fall Ohiostiva 2011

[Safety Guy]

Not all came in their own Festivas or Aspires, but they came!

Met at Summit as usual and then convoyed to Munroe Falls Park for outdoor basking in the cold shade and trying to get the charcoal hot enough to cook foodage!

nice pics karl, i like the gashog tag!

[Safety Guy]

Ha! Thank the other Karl for that. He's running 185/65-14s on 323 GTX wheels. Full length Rio struts and springs on front, with Aspire struts and uncut Festy front springs on rear! That's why I backed up to him to compare bumper heights. I'm running Aspire rear struts with Aspire rear springs cut one coil.

Here's another pic. Someone's bra is showing:




and one more:

I had a great time, I put some faces to some names, but I didn't get everyones screen name that showed up. Honestly I was a little hesitant about showing up to something arranged over the internet, but it was soo worth it! I met some really intelligent, knowlegable, friendly, down to earth guys, absolutely worth the drive! The amount of work and dedication put into these cars is almost unbelievable until you see it for yourself first hand.

I already informed my fiance you all wanted MOAR RICE CRISPY'S!! ...and after my description of todays events she's more than willing to bring them to the next meet! She wanted to come to this one, but it's not easy to find a babysitter. I have a feeling she's going to make it a priority to be at the next meet tho.

AAnd, I'll make sure not to buy any more cheap charcoal..sry about that lol.. all's well that ends well! I think I even found the second wind I needed to push to get my car painted! I really wish I could have driven it instead of the Mazda, just bad timing on the downtime for paint.

Also didn't get as many pictars as I'd of liked, but here's a link to the facebook album if you guys can see it, if not I'll get them uploaded to photobucket when I find my phone's usb cord.

Hey Karl, are you of Latvian heritage by any chance?

[FB71]

Looks like Karl captured a photo of the rare North American Amanda Moose!

Which Karl?

Amanda Mooses are particularly noted for their marshmallow diets, though they always deny that aspect of their biology. I believe this is a particularly thorny genetic issue, and includes some questions of proper taxonomy.

Yes I am, and we do have us some good times, he is a brother from another mother. I can't claim any kind of fame like Levitan, The Super model Extraordinare.

LOL! I laughed so hard reading this!

Great photos Karl! I especially like the one of the rare North American Amanda moose!

[Safety Guy]

The North American Amanda Moose series is one of my best collections. Actuually, my best photos were from a game cam at a state fair and I sent them into National Geographic.

Very rare, with or without marshmallows.
