Sorry, but if the weather holds out I plan on going 150+ mph on the Sea rather than on Land

I was going to cruise with you guys a little bit but my transmission through a brand new error code that I have never seen before. So I need to diagnose the problem tomorrow. I am also not sure it's worth driving a total of 3 hours just to cruise with you guys for 1.5hours. Maybe I'll catch up with everyone on a future cruise

My alternator just went tonight. I was changing it by flash light before pep boys closed. Just finished installing the new one a little while ago. I'm just happy it didn't happen at 1am in dow town Philly.

That's it? Mine, before I changed it last weekend, was running on 9000 miles of the same oil...went on the rally and everything... Poor car Good thing they're made so well

Exactly, I figure the oil is VW503.01 approved for 10,000+ mile oil changes, and the filter is the same as used on Audi 2.0Ts (10,000 mile oil changes)... and the motor is fairly new... it'll be fine So i'm looking forward to meeting all y'all on saturday! (err sunday?)

SOunds familiar. My tranny blew the night before Elaine and I were going to take the car to Pennsylvania for the weekend. I'm just glad it didn't blow on one of the deserted PA roads at night.
Everyone have a GREAT trip this weekend!!!!

Excellent to make (part of) the run with y'all. Great to see some old friends and make some new ones.
Geno's FTW! Parking sucks ass....

Glad you and the wife came Dale. Too bad Geno's is not closer. I'd love to use it as a checkpoint. You know how much I like chaos. That would be so much fun.

Hah, mass parking confusion would be a hell of a sort of "chaos" for a true rally check point... As for the drive, it really wasn't bad once the sun came up... For about the first 45 minutes heading home I was dreadfully tired, and after a quick pit stop I was solid for a straight shot home... The drive to CT isn't bad whatsoever really...
Karoline, August is over with, we are in September already! As for next August, I don't know honestly, possibly AKA Rally depending on dates, and of course, the start of classes again!
