I would love too, but I'll be at the Lake Norman Home & Garden Show Exhibiting in Mooresville. I think there is going to be a classic car show up there as well but that may be on Saturday!' http://lnhba.sitewizard.biz/home_gardenshow.html |

If the weather holds, I plan on spending Friday and Saturday on the boat  Need to get you out on the water at some point, since you basically live right down the street from where I keep the boat. |

The forecast for Sunday looks really nice at this point. I may have to get out and go for a drive somewhere.

Well it looks like the rain will end tomorrow and it's supposed to be sunny and 70! I'll definitely have to take the Elise out with the top off. I'm not sure how much of a drive the Charlotte area people are up for but I'm going up to the mountains tomorrow. I'll probably either head up 80 or 226A towards Little Switzerland or head up to Blowing Rock and run 221. I'm going to wash the car when I get up then head out late morning sometime.

What happened to the sun shine??? It was raining when I got up. There is a very cool breeze blowing and it's still misting out. Are things any better in CLT?

Slightly. I managed to get my sill plates installed and got the car detailed, but I am going to probably put it away in a couple minutes  |

Unfortunately there are no passing zones so you have to rely on the courtesy of others. With that said, Florida people in large vehicles suck at pulling over.
I have some other videos up where I got a clean run.

Your wife is as good a passenger as mine. I sure wouldn't ride with me  Would you ride with you?  There have only been a very few times I've made her put her feet on the dash and *gasp* |
