I would like to add a word to the wise about gf's and wives.
You guys have it all wrong. They are annoying you. You have to be the annoying one in the realationship. That way they love to get rid of you and don't mind when you take off for the day for a day of cars, or in my case, a day of golf.
Be more annoying. I can teach you how.

I agree with him...., im more than willing to bring the gf, but I haven't told her about our timing conflict. Thats going to be the problem.
She gets a little upset when I help my friend with his two 5.0 stangs. Cause she likes to get dirty under a hood like the guys do (God bless her for that!! :) )
You guys who complain/kvetch/whatever about g/f's complaining about you spending time at events like this don't know how good you have it. My lady friend merely rolls her eyes, snorts derisvely and pats me on the head like I'm a retard whenever I mention events like this. :rolleyes:

(If I complain in the slightest about her choice of activities, I may as well kiss my two best friends goodbye :P)

sounds like my parents, but it usually followed with
"there is no need for you to go to this"
I'm with you on that focused.... living at home is like living under a very very powerful microscope.
I still haven't had the *opportunity* to tell them that I'm driving down to T.O. for one day.... for a car meet nonetheless
Mine likes to say "why would you do anything to a cracker-jack-box car, or even show it off with other people foolish enough to do so?" :huh:
She's a truck girl........ :unsure: I like that but I still want my focus.
I wish mine would pat me like a retard and not talk to me as if i'm one, Leave a little to my imagination so that I can pretend she didn't mean anything mean by the patting. :ph34r:

same here and seeing as i jsut drove to toronto last weekend, they will not be very receptive
mine will most likely make some comment bout gas $$ and how we could be doing more PRODUCTIVE things.... like sit at a beach or go shoe shopping :huh:

In my case, they will be bothering me about my back (I tweaked it a bit wakeboarding this past weekend)... they won't want me driving down
Oh... forgot to mention
ALL THOSE IN THE CONVOY
If at any point during the drive down, a guy pops his head out of my sunroof with a camera, pass me and smile really big. My BF is bringing his SLR and some really fast film and he's going to try and take rolling shots of all the cars in the convoy. I will post them if they turn out and when they get back

Hardkore in Oshawa ????
So if we leave Ottawa at 8am, then we should be ontime for pickup in Trenton/Bowmanville/Hardkore ( minor delays not accounted for)!
Any objections? Comments? Suggestions?

thats right...quack,quack...... B) :D you can't say that you couldn't get ahold of me if more than one persons got my number.
The place i'll be at is the Trenton Travel Plaza; it's got a timmies and Wendies and a gas station (Shell) I will be out front of the building so you will have plenty of room for all of us to park together if people want a quick break (coffee,washroom or smoke/stretch) As you get to the west side of Trenton (1.5km past wooler road) you will have to go around a left hand bend that is all part of an approx. 1Km up hill climb...it is at the top of that hill ....just a rough heads up for you
I will be there by 1045 unless you guys tell me to be there sooner.
Look forward to flapping my wings with you ZX5chica :D
