yeah Denny THANKS a LOT!!!! I hat an awesome time, and you will be hearing from me when I get back from the Hot Rod Power Tour so I can get a trans. That pic of us boxing in that Grand Am was pretty Funny! I met a ton of awesome people that I did not really get to talk to last year. And going to Miami Subs with Jeff, Andy, Matt W, Jay and Andre (oh and of course taking to Jeremy who was also up there). I also found someone to paint my car (that being Jay) and some one to burn me a chip for my new 350 (that being Jeremy of course).

I really want to set up an other gathering before the summer is over, because I had so much fun and met a TON of awesome people. Also my engine and tranny and maybe a rearend will be done by then too.

I would also like to add my thanks to the list. It was a great time and it was great talking with everyone. In some ways, it gave me several ideas and some inspiration. After all, how is a newbee supposed to learn except to see the fruits of others labor?

Thanks again, Denny!

As for the comment...

Just adding my thanks to the list, Denny. I had a lot of fun and met some awesome people. Thanks for all the food and drink and hosting a great gathering once again.

We definitely gotta go to some cruise nights and car shows this year, but we'll save that planning for the local boards

Also, thanks to the people who came from so far. This has gotten bigger every year and hopefully that trend will continue.

Might as well let this continue by saying Thanks! Even though I didn't have my car there, I still had fun. Meeting most of you was great too. Josh, Xpndbl, Metallicamaro, Andre, and others, you were all pretty helpful. I found some things that I didn't know existed, and Josh turned me onto the white guages. I plan on doing a lot to my car within the next year, so it will be there next year! Before I went I didn't know what to expect, and didn't know how long I would even stay, but after being there a little, I enjoyed it. Thanks again, Lets start planning for next year!

Preach-on Brotha! That's too funny, I parked in front of you and had no clue.

That's picture is quality, I'm turing around in that one to park. Yaay, my car is on the imternet, YaaaaY! Finally proof that I showed up and didn't miss the friggin day, LOL. Although I could've gotten more squirrely when I left if I would have remembered to take it outta O/D,
