Kelu....It was great meeting you. If you need parts shipped, you pm me. OK. Keep the rubber to the road and keep me posted on the wedding! :)
Thanks for the offer, appreciated and kept in mind for future. Also thanks a lot for the hotel room.

About the wedding, me and my fiancee attended last night to a car club friend wedding in a restaurant which we like also and thinking to use for our wedding too. The "real test drive" was without any weak aspects even we went to this wedding very watchful and picky.

Back On topic: thank you once more for the pictures  :thumbs:

Man, I bought my car three days too early. Bought it on the 24th. If it was the 27th, I would have kept on driving since I bought my car in Allentown, stayed for the rest of the day to meet some of you guys then drove back home like 2-3am to make it for work in the morning. Ill be at the next one though.

Also, whats up with the smiley face w/ the horns and goatee sticker?

I already checked the Iowa football schedule for 2012. We just play Northern Il that weekend. We play Iowa State the next weekend, so Dad and I can go to the Iowa State game instead!  :cool:

 :sorry:

Sorry this thank you is late, but thanks again Joe & Dee!  Wish I could've stayed SAT night, looks like it was a blast. 

I did recover from my cold and make it from So.MD to No.MD to Texas to No.MD to So.Australia to No.MD to Atlanta to Chicago and back to No.MD.

And yes, GJ, I've made quite a dent in the JD too.

North Carolina or Virginia...can't remember which.

But sorta. Around Galena it gets more interesting. I want to do another run up there this year, but I'm not sure I'll have time. :(

BTW,

I did a minor post-mod-meet-mod, adding another 12V outlet pretty much like Critter's.  Thanks for the pigtail, Joe!

Since my Solstice was looking so great after the mod meet, being freshly detailed on the outside and with my sexy JPM interior work, I decided I had to replace the rusted, pitted old license plate frame with something a little cleaner.

While I was at it I bought Pontiac valve stem caps from the same vendor.
