Default June fun run? Anyone got any ideas?

I can throw another BBQ / pool party. got the pool heated to 90 degrees and all my backyard furniture setup for summer.

Now that DevilZ has his car back this weekend maybe we should do a welcome back party for him LOL...

But seriously, where is a fun place to drive and take pics? I wanna make a better video next time

A 4AM run?!? Are you out of your mind? That sounds completely nuts!

I'm IN!!!

Other options for drives:
- A Neah Bay trip w/ a drive around the Pennisnula
- NF-99 (more twisties than Hwy 504)
- Good 'ol go karting.

Depending on how your guys's workweek looks my vote is a run down to cali and meetup with some other Z/G guys and M3 guys down there for another woodside run, that road is badasssssss

As much fun as driving down to california...to go on a drive thru california... while driving thru california.... then drive back from california... from california sounds I think maybe meet up with some Oregon peeps if you are itching for a road trip. Hell I'd do a day trip but you are talking like you are 20 and have no kids! lol, j/k man.

p.s. I don't have anymore Prada shoes so I can't hang with the M3 guys anymore

Neah Bay is a good place for fishing HALIBUT!!!! If we're gonna go all the way there, we might as well do something worthwhile there.

I'm totally down, although I will use a few days to go to GTM to get my F-Con and tuning done.

Which means I'll have less playtime with everyone else but I need to get it done SOONER OR LATER (and rather sooner cuz F-Con VPro > Life).

The Kitsap Peninsula drive is a really good one. Not as long as the Cascade Loop which is good, 'bout 400 mile if you try to go to the northwestern most point of the state.

Start in Olympia and take Hwy 101 all the way around. Start at Olympia -> Port Townsend -> Neah Bay -> End at Ocean Shores (home afterwards)

Theres gonna be a road rally that will be doing the same (similar) route this summer. Should be fun but I won't be taking the Z for that event. Regardless, I'd like to get a little bit more familiar w/ the route since it's been a few years since I've done it.

I'm down for that...I still like the idea of an early morning run; less cars on the road, less po-po, and even with a long trip we can finish by lunch (so that I can spend the rest of the day w/ my beautiful wife ...she doesn't like riding in the Z for long trips b/c it's too loud and smelly )

The E46 guys were actually pretty cool, and yes i do have kids at age 20... i have a 7 month old... lol j/k but ive gotten use to long drives because my gf (the 1 i brough over to your house for the meet) use to live in cali so ive drievn there and back a good amount of times. 10+k on the Z and 10k+ on the vette (milage suckkkkkkkkks) but i guess im just use to long drives, generally takes roughly 9-10 hours-ish and 8-9 hrs when i cannonballed down with the exotic team (lambos 360's etc)

Also i want to go down to cali to stay in James's(elohite) CASTLE again... lol (if your reading through this)

Anyway, i dont really expect many ppl to go but if even 1-2 other ppl from these boards went down it would be cool, cause the guys in cali have weekly meets and thier alot bigger then a few cars hanging out.

It's not the CAR that's loud and smelly, it's YOU.

Someone had to do it.
