I'm looking forward to it, after having missed last month's meet. And, I'll be bringing a small surprise this time.

Gotta skip this one as it conflicts with the Grand Prix of Long Beach, but I will be ready for May! Have fun!

Well, if that don’t put pepper in the gumbo!

Well, slap my head and call me silly!

Well tie me to a pig and role me in the mud!

Well tie me to an anthill and fill my ears with jam!

The engine’s runnin’ but nobody’s driving.

Just ordered new tires from Americas tire. They now charge $10 to custom order tires. They only had the fronts in stock, so add an extra $20. And just try and tell them that you do not need a TPMS rebuild kit. Almost like you kicked a puppy, but I stuck to my guns. I replaced the TPMS sensors last year, so the rubber is still perfect. Had a tire guy tell me it is a total ripoff, but some tire places force you to replace them.
Long story short, I will be flying next GTG.
Went back to stock sizing also.

With fresh rubber under you, the rest of us will probably have trouble keeping up!

It changes every gathering. It is always fun, and always something different. Come show up and see if you want to join us after discussing the route. If my tires come in, that may change my planned route.

I'll try. My C7 is currently at the rail yard in Mira Loma waiting to get delivered to the dealer. I am hoping that happens today or tomorrow but they said it could be 3 - 5 days. Lots of people to show the car to once I get it so if not the meet up then perhaps the next one. I will keep an eye on the So Cal forum for up coming events.
