What a day...The Limo has tamed the "tail of the dragon". Car ran well except for a brake pad fire.....then,

Later we came upon an bike accident...we spent two hours there trying to stabilize the guy and get help but the local police and rescue department was so useless that they finally responded almost three hours after accident and by the time the poor guy got to and ambulance it was too late. He died right there in front of us. Lame ass local 1st responders...hope you can live with your week ass selves....
R.I.P.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339255662

So the BABE Rally is over and after 3200 miles of driving over 15 states (VA,DE,MD,NJ,NY,PN,WVA,TN,NC,GA,AL,MS,SC,LU) the Limo arrived home in Va Beach completing a 20 hour straight through drive on Sunday from New Orleans to VA. Runs great!

Good seeing you SamNAVY! Thanks for the cold ones!

Here is a Time Laps video of the entire week in one hour.

We changed themes 5 times during the rally and that secured our place winning the "ORGANIZERS CHOICE" award!

Theme one, Woody Wagon with surfboards on top!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Than went on to the Griswold's Vacation wagon.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Than painted car in parking lot and came up with the Ecto-1 Ghostbusters wagon.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Off to Walmart for a paint change again and we are now a Hearse.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Than for the final days run into NO we pimped it out as the Presidential Limo.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Found out many things on the road:
-Every car should have a beer tap on the side.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389
-Tail of the Dragon is interesting in a 4 ton Limo
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389
-Rollers are the only way to paint a car!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389
-Drywall screws WILL beat a hole in a gas line given the time.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389
-BBQ Grilln on a hood is not a good idea when hood is covered in wood paneling....FIRE
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389
-You can change shocks on side of road with little to no tools.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389

Good times with good friends was had!
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1339659389


PS: New Orleans is a DUMP!

PSS: Anyone want to buy a LIMO?

so very true

triple88a 06-14-2012 02:48 PM

I'm curious you dont plan on running again?

IcantDo55 06-14-2012 06:47 PM

Might do it again. Was a good week off if you want to be the guy on the side of the road.

BogusSVO 06-14-2012 07:43 PM

If you think New Orleans is a dump now..... you should have seen it before "cane Katreina washed alot of it away.

I go about 3 or 4 times a year....
