They wana pin a huge fine on someone...I think is around $10,000.

200+ miles of these and arrows and other markings to mark our tour....What made it worse was some locals started adding to the faces...*****, *****, Pot leaves and other crazy ****. I think its all kinda funny but the county is/was pissed.

And on top of that we had had a few car crashes on that tour. The worst one ended with a car being totaled out and both occupants being taken to the hospital…one via a helicopter.

We've done many tours since the Tour and most have been sanded out and or painted over my the county but every so often we'd still see one.

^^previous post fixed

I've actually come across when driving to weddings and on the way/back to a friend's place in Osceola, WI - actually even when I cruised around the backroads when I had a harley...

I grew up in this area and have driven these roads forever... they are fun. Just be sure look out for tractors & deer...

yeah, it's a blast, i'm sure you'd have a good time. you should swing in even if you drive somethin other than your gto. just ask rallyracer about his ss oldsmobile

yeah, someone else actually made mine for me, i'm workin on gettin better at the whole photoshop thing. rallyracer though is really good with photoshop

ps - its even cheaper to drink in the driveway, or I mean, go to "church"... but I guess no one but Hoffa would know that...or want to drive back home afterwards
don't worry, i'll give ya plenty of heads up before that happens. but next friday, the 2nd, whatcha up too??


tonight guys! mermaid at 8pm! see ya there!!!

I'm working on getting better with this old version of photoshop.

Sounds like a good time at the mermaid. (mermaid lanes right?) I'm moving out today but I should be done in time for that. Do I need to call someone or you guys going to be outside by your cars, or what???

of course.. that's literally 5 minutes from my place except I'm out of town starting the 3rd.

Some other time I guess.

Anyone into going up to BIR this summer? I'd like to try it out. It looks like fun. Here's a link with more info:
