Scottz sorry to hear that this is my first time so ill live it up twice as hard.
I'll also look up gas prices for the way there for anyone's reference.
What's a good time to make it there in I saw its about 20hrs
Naw it's not that long depending on if you stop for lunch and dinner. I made it back pretty much straight through on the way home went through St. Louis cause we had met up with some others there and had a brief dinner at a bar and headed home after that. Total time without that stop would've been 18hrs. Otherwise it took me about 20hrs. Left fontana around 10am and got back home around 6-7am. It's a blast heading out there especially if you meet up with a big Z caravan on the way down. I think there were 20+ Z's that we met up with in kentucky (out of the way for us but decided to meet up anyways) and we all headed out together doing nothing less than 90mph.

Hmm, well I don't really have a place to keep it in my apt. You work anywhere near 169/65 in the cities? Extra $5 could get it delivered if it's not too far out of the way!

Just be careful when driving on the dragon or the roads that lead up to it. There were a few Z accidents at the time we were there one of which one Z was completely totaledb and the amount of motorcycles that went off the road. Also it's best to ride in a group if going on the dragon for safety reasons and cop lookout. It's only a 30mph zone through the whole dragon so get a detector if you don't have one already or unless you're a law enforcement officer who get out of pretty much everything *cough smoothZ cough*

HKS replica. I hope it gets here next week. I took vacation for the last week of March because the kids don't have school, so it's going to be a busy week here. Also getting my soffets and fascia replaced around the house. Gotta take down the gutters and get rid of them.

Man, am I disappointing myself when I expect certain things to be done promptly? I ordered the exhaust on Saturday, used Paypal, money came out of my account Monday or Tuesday, and all the vendor has done is order the UPS shipping label. WTF...

Build a door pod and have a decent set of components and that's all the base you will need.
