Some photos (root of 2009 events).... a few more to come.

I will work to put together the start-line video that I took.

My in-car video of my last run.... a few errors (was looking forward to one more run). I think this resulted in a 96 mph speed per the radar at check point 1. I need AWD!!!!

The 5:30 am trip started with rain and pretty much rained the entire time during the 165 mile trip to MA.

The normal site on the way home via Route 7....

I think for $100 (plus $50 gas + $10 food + $5 diet coke) this was a good deal for a pedal cluster (has a throttle cable, not DBW), A/C pump, A/C condenser, radiator with fans, three good doors with glass, good roof (non-sunroof), plus some other misc. parts (I might grab the rear beam also). Did I mention it is the same color as my Golf?!

I think this car would start in a very, very, very, very low class to start with.

Flinstone class!

That is a good deal. Especially considering when Rathes wants to charge double that for a bumper cover and trunk lid for a freaking Accord (yes, I am bitter).

Any plans for the seats?
