Oh yeah, and I'm digging the new screen name Garner :tup:

Ya, apparently there was a vote on Friday night for him to get it changed. He needs to get it tattooed on his now like I have mine lol.

We are stuck in terrible traffic 10miles from our houses. So lame!

Not to rub it in or anything, but just got to Orlando and checked in. Here is a view from my balcony right now...

Drive safe!

I like Denver, but that looks pretty sweet! Glad you made it to/through the airport with the tow rig. :lol: :lol:

Also glad to see the rest of the posse is nearing the end. :tup:

23 hours to get there, 25 hours to get back, 2600miles exactly driven in the tow rig. Filled up gas 8 times and took out one rock throughout the trip. We are finally home without incident other then the countless idiots we pissed off when we cut them off with the trailer. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Glad you made it home safe. It was a blast to hang with you guys! Sorry about the spelling Garnner. In all honesty, I was calling you Garnet for a while :rotf:

I'll let you know when I'm in Santa Maria next. Would be a blast to hang with you 4 again.

Roys truck ran great during the whole drive. I drove it for about 3 hours and was really impressed.

Oh, I've been there. Last time I was there I had a BMW 335i rental car :cool:

I'd love a ride in your truck down there though. You know, after you fix your brakes. That other ride was a little too exciting...

for sure. we probably shouldnt have even taken it out, but i figured WTF, might as well. :rotf:

I cant wait to take it to a track at a real elevation and to see what I can do with a 7psi boost launch off the 2-step and running 10psi down the track. :tup:

Ya, you better not go without me either you bastard! Haha. Can't wait to see what the sytys do in Sacramento. Should be entertaining.

Why are u still up right now? I figured you would all have been passed out within about 2 minutes from getting home.


It was nice meeting everyone, and doing a bit of boozing, sightseeing, driving, etc. I think I can speak for the northern California crew when I say we will be attending next year for sure. Good times

Thanks again guys for keeping it entertaining. I'm glad I got to meet you all & hang out. Cant wait to see the time slip from CA :)
PM me an email address as I got quite a few pics of all 3 of your trucks & 1 video.

BTW my Blazer turned over 249,000 miles on the way back & got 12.5 MPG :)

Re: 22hr road trip (back from) NATS!

So my guesstimate of $1000 for fuel was a little high, I guess thats a good thing :tup:
