Yeah, the $4 for a bottle of water is complete bullshit. Between me and my brother and dad, we spent damn near 30 bucks on water. And it was so hot, the water almost got too hot to drink! So you had to down the water faster, which puts you in an endless cycle of paying out the *ss for Dasani. And I did see that white and green regal when I came in. We showed up around 2, and left at about 5:30 ish. I saw your car as I left as I said, what time did you get there? I for damn sure am going to go next year, wherever it is. The walking around is only half the fun. Did you register, or just show up and park?

I registered, but kind of wish I didn't. I was walking around the show for hours until I had blisters on my feet and my arthritis joint were killing me. I then sat in my lawn chair by the road and watched cars go by. That was about 5 ish. Did you see ldr's Malibu? That is one clean machine now.

I may have seen it. I saw quite a few malibus. I dug that ratty grey 85ish Regal that I have a pic of in my post. I could've brought my regal (providing it had a drivetrain) and been right at home lol. I guarantee it would've been in the top 10 loudest cars there.

Thanks for the compliments Zach. I was hoping to meet some of you. I meet another fella he said he was malibu racing more. We had a good visit. We're going to Madison today then heading home. It's going to be along day.

You kind of meet me. I was sitting in the lawn chair waving at you when you left.

Sorry if I didn't see you. I hope I at least waved back. It was hot and that place was dirty. We wasn't there very long. Thanks for post another pic of car. The air quit Tuesday, got to the motel that afternoon and wired everything to key power so it would work Wednesday for the drive home.

Congratulations on making it to your goal. You did wave so we are good. You should post about your experiences. The ups and downs and all that.
