OK... if any of you are reading this......
I just drove by @ 5:30... and there IS cars there, but not many right now.
Since it's a cool night, and it was crpapy today, I feel there will be a small turnout, but still a nice one.
I will be there arond 6-6:30
Car will NOT be in show, but I'll be flaoting around.
I'll be wearing a gray CORVETTE sweatshirt, so that way you know me if you can see me

It tunred out to be a great night weather wise, and we had a bunch of us there afterall.
Me, Allecat, Fastss06, pittsburghSS,PaZZa.... ( what's up with that screen name.. to hard to type.. ), CobaltSS313, The Sunburst Kid... I think I remembered everyone... and ALleycats' friend with her Mini CooperS...
Good to share stories, car tips, and other SS related issues with everyone.
As far as getting together again.....
I don't know what everyone else has going on, but I have a wedding this weekend, so I will be out of pocket until Sunday, when we go Autocrossing.
Weeknights are usually bad for me since I work very early in the AM. I'm sure most others are always open to getting together, providing they have no plans.
OK.. I'm typing too much again...

Yah working in the AM sucks ass. I start work at 5:30 and thats on an 8 hour day, if i have to work 10 hours i gotta start work at 3:30 which means i get up at 2:45. For me being 19 i hate it. Most kids my age dont go to bed til 3 in the morning and im getting ready to go to work, man does it suck lol.

Lol, woot another meet. I'm off a work all this week except Fri, Sat, Sun.
That reminds me, since I work on Sun I won't be running in the Auto-X but I will be there to watch most of it. IIRC I work at 5pm so I will be there most of the time.

yeah, I wasn't sure if the post meant that he wanted to have a meet sometime between now and the AutoX, or if he meant that he wanted to caracan up with others and meet somewhere to do so before everyone left.
I'm southEAST of the city as are a good portion of the gang.
Waiting to hear back about my helmet I'm trying to order.

Well, I know plenty of people that lead mroe boring lives, and they have NO excuses....
Might I add a big THANK YOU for serving your country. I for one appreciate the work and sacrifces that each of you put in to protect us. Doesn't matter if you're on the front line or working in the offices.. You ALL make a difference. I find people don't say that enough ( I am guilty of it at times as well ), so I want to make a point to do so.
THANKS
I'm in my 30's and I get up around 3:30-4AM each day. BUT I get out of work @ 2:30 if allgoes well. But my evenings are still shot. Friday.... I just want to sleep by then....
OK.... I'm done.
Work bekons!

Never apologize for doing what you think is right or what you believe.
You SHOULD be proud of what you do. I have friends and family that either are or were in the military and while I never served, I can't say I understand what they did for our country, but I respect it and them for it.
Thanks!

Yeah, and with the new toy... i don't see you "getting sick" like at the last Auto-X....
Hopefully, I can get my helmet this week so I can race. I know Alleycat has said that we can share like last time, but I hate borrowing from people.
Gotta find me some hot pink show polish to mark the car with too....that'll be cooollllll.... let the ladies see my "sensitive side" ... I'm soo smooth it hurts...
yeah, I don't even buy that.....
