Mid-february get-together.

They're all up by Wal-Mart pretty much, it's just a giant strip of stores and resteraunts, so not sure what you mean.


Roadhouse is good, hope they have some good beer for me.

Yeah, I txted Christine this morning from work to tell her I didn't think they opened up as early as we'd like.
 
Ok, so here's what I think we'll do.

Since Alex has to leave at a certain time, we'll aim to meet up in the parking lot of Texas Roadhouse at 11:30. This way we can get in the door at Noon and eat. That gives Alex plenty of time to socialize with everyone and be able to go to wherever it is that he needs to go to.
 
You know what would be nice? If I could bring my stupid :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing god damn car.:mad: It decided to die out on me twice tonight and started after about 15 minutes of sitting. The second time I had AAA tow it home since I didn't want to risk it stalling again. And what do you know? It won't start again after it got off the truck. Oh, it's turning over great, but can't f-ing start. And if it does it runs for a second and then dies no matter how much throttle I give it. Screw this motor. I'm getting a loan, getting another car for a DD, and putting a freakin 3 liter in already(with a spec stage 1, a quaife, and some other goodies of course...). My car hates me for not doing it already. I hope I blew a head gasket to pieces so I can justify the 3 liter to my girlfriend. God jesus christ. I am going to sleep.

Dan check your PM's.

Why not just get an SVT with that loan then?:shrug:

Anyways, how does that sound? Meet up at 11:30 in the parking lot and then head in at 12.

Sorry to hear that you are still having issues. :cry:
"Justify the 3L to my girlfriend"? :shrug: She's a GF, not a wife. ;)
Glenn is right, why not get an SVT with your loan? You can find them for cheap these days. Part out the Mystique and you make some of your money back toward the loan.

Glenn, that sounds fine to me.

It's going to snow tomorrow in Dickson City. :( I'm going to still try to bring the Silver SVT since Dan has yet to see it. The black SVT has the snow tires but I do have high performance all-seasons on the silver one.
 
11:30 works fine. I would love to get a SVT but I need to fine one in very good mechanical condition. Either way I'm keeping the mystique for my 3 liter project. I'm going to go over the ignition system because I read about someone having the same problem and it ended being something to do with the PCM and coil. Anybody up for a trip to harry's next month?

EDIT
I found a low mileage 98 SVT in New York on ebay. I contacted him with an offer.:laugh:

It was great seeing everyone! I made it home in one piece, thankfully. It was a full white out on 81 for about 5 miles and traffic was down to about 30 mph. Hope everyone else made it ok.
 
It was great seeing everyone again. :) Always a fun time.

Dan, I expect you at my house this week to clean my car. LMAO! ;)
OMG... I think, never mind, I know this is the dirtiest it's ever been. :shocked: :crazy: :help:

The drive home wasn't that bad, glad we're didn't decide to take 81. 80 had some snow squalls but most of the issue was with the blowing snow.
Traffic got a bit slow as we approached Stroudsburg but then it was clear sailing.
 
sounds like you guys had a blast so sorry i didn't make this one but my bed was all to confy to wake up at 9 to make my way up there after being out till 4 in the morning partying like a rock star.
 
A rock star... you wish. LOL! ;)
It was a good time. You'd better make the next one.
 
Oh well, could have been worse, I got stuck in a horrible white out for about 90% of my drive home, got so bad I had to use my hazards just in case there was someone behind me 'cause you could only see like 10 feet in any direction if that. Then just as it cleared I came upon a sideways buick in the middle of the road on a blind corner where the opposing traffic had to be very careful not to hit her or the gaurdrail which was over about a 20ft steep hill into a stream, and she was still sitting in the car!

So I had to stop and tell this lady that she needed to get out of her car immediately and call the police, because she was just talking to her husband, there's debri and clumps of mud and pieces of the front of her car everywhere so I picked those up and watched for people coming around the corner, and finally the owner of a house right where it happened came out and moved the womans car into his driveway so I continued home.

There was in about a 30 minutes storm a good 2" of new snow on the road and on everything, made Foci look like they did coke 'cause the only white part was around the lower middle grill of them and no where else. :laugh:
 
I'll try to get you a picture tomorrow. I'm going to clean it this weekend, it bothers me. :laugh:
