Well I actually got to enjoy my car this evening! First time in a really long time. I'll explain later but the car is running great. Transmission problem is solved and life is good. I'm just glad that is behind me now.
I pulled it out into the driveway after work tonight and washed it real nice and buffed it up a little with some Adam's detail spray and then took it for an extended cruise around the local beach communities. Here are a few shots I took just before dusk.  The exhaust has mellowed out some now and if the wife will accept the sound levels I think I'll keep the Magnaflows intact too. I think I should drive it a bit longer before I go taking them off too soon. Attach file:  hollandPoint02.jpg (158.84 KB) hollandPoint01.jpg (129.21 KB) |

I thought so. I lived there for a little while and loved hanging out down there. I took Kathie there last summer and we did a couple nice restaurants by the park downtown while we were there. |

Hi Don,
I will definitely see you at Carlisle this year, but Im thinking the show at Gaithersburg sounds like fun also..Im about 3 hours away and don't usually travel that far for shows but this one sounds real good..It depends on the weather, right now there calling for rain Saturday evening and night.WW |

The G-Burg Show should be good. We will be meeting for breakfast a couple miles from the Mall where the show will be held. You could meet us for breakfast if you like at 0800. Then we will drive over together.
I have been to their shows before and they get a good turnout, but there is another all GM show that day at the community college a few miles away. I hope that doesn't hurt this show. Would love to meet you! If you need directions to Breakfast let me know. The weather looks clear until 6 or 7 PM. We will be cleared out by 4PM. I know its a long way to go for a show. |
