Your still waiting on Paint...?
Man the guys at V told me that it would only take a couple of days to do my bodykit... If it takes that long I might not be able to get this stuff on by Nov12th like I need...

Steve sub's this work out to a paint shop, so he's somewhat at their mercy. If you want to be able to interface with the actual paint shop and your time table is sensitive (which it obviously is), I'd follow up with Century unless they give you a reason not too.

Toby, if you don't have your car, are you going to catch a ride with someone?

I don't think this will be one of "those" drives. Things may be a little spirited on the way out there, but I think we'd be foolish to get crazy in the park. As reported by Davidv, the rangers have federal authority, and I don't want to find out how far that authority extends. I don't look good getting a cavity search.

Did someone mention my name? LOL. Skyline Drive is a mellow cruise. There are other cars on the road and bicyclists. The “fun” roads are those leading "out" of the park.

my tires aren't going to hold up to too much spirited driving, so I guess I'll bring up the rear... haha.

Last time I was out with just david I got a little spirited at points... it is scary though b/c you'll never know when you are coming up on a 25 mph driver or bike...

we do NOT need a 10 Z pile-up

Especially with the weather looking possibly a bit wet.... Last thing I want to do is go careening off the side of the mountain....

+1000 guys.. also note that this is the PRIME TIME season to go to skyline drive... so .. the local podunk police WILL be trapping on the routes heading in... we all need to watch our speeds.. and maintain proper following distance once we get on the 2 lane roads leading to the park. I would HIGHLY advise NOT speeding once we are in the park... unless you want to be a Rangers bish

Lets have fun, and bring all the cars home in one piece

How many people are really attending with the rain forecast for Front Royal between 60 and 80% for Saturday?!

I'll be honest. I am not driving 3 hours South to drive in the rain on skyline and not be able to hang out at the stops along the way... If its raining Saturday, you'll have to count me out. The car is getting squirrelly in the wet now with tires nearing wearbars so driving windy skyline = a nono.

I learned my lesson last November when i was driving on tires near the wearbars... spun out into a guardrail. No fun... AND it was at a Z meet.

Hey everyone, this is my first time on this site, and I was referred to this one by Silkk who was replying to a post on 350Zforum.com. My wife and I are interested in the Skyline Drive run on Saturday. It looks like some people are dropping cause of weather, etc. Is the run still on, and is 11:00 am still the meeting time in Manassas?
