You know theres severe weather goin on there right now, and planned for the overnight. Severe tstorm warningnright now, tornado warnings east and west of there in the last hour. That's on top of a lot of rain.

If you go, have a weather radio handy, and be safe.

No, but we will be there next weekend...a BUNCH of us! Carolina Relic Run. Wait and come out then. You won't be disappointed.

 

[terningene]

Unfortunately we are both working next weekend. Hate to miss relic run!!

So far it’s beautiful here! Trails are a little more adventurous than normal. Expecting rain later but even the wind’s been calm. Found some Jeeps to camp with. Should be nice and quiet!

So found out yesterday when I was talking to the owner of the blue St165 that I have a recall on my car that was never done.

Sure enough I sent toyota an email and got it set up next monday to be done and get a loaner car for the day. (taking bets on what it is) Going to try the.... "this was the fastest car you sold in 1988 so i'm going to need to loaner to be the fastest car you currently sell "

"this was the fastest car you sold in 1988 so i'm going to need to loaner to be the fastest car you currently sell " .

So a Camry XLE? I’d rather get the real equivalent the gt86 slower but more fun.

The fastest car they have is a 2wd short bed 5.7 tundra.

In a straight line maybe..... but I'd still think that may not be true.

Totally guessing. 200 is 6,5 to 60.

 

[lt1fire]

I'd imagine ita closer to 7 if not more. The v6 top of the line Camry is sub 6 though.

@JohnVee the boys met the 7 Duffs today.
My favorites were Surley and Regret.
Hoisted one for you.

Can’t get enough of that wonderful Duff! I was gonna try a Fudd, but didn’t it make all those rednecks go blind?

I have 2 now.
The boys went in at different times. Each one got pulled from the crowd to do the selection. Hard to not buy them after that.

Got invited to the Olympus Rally Pre-Party at Dirt Fish Rally School today. Got to meet some of the Subaru ARA drivers..... two lucky people got to take a spin with them for 10 minutes through the woods but my raffle ticket wasn't called for it.
