***update***

SUNDAY 12/23 @ 10am
meeting at SONIC on craig rd/I-15

Since today's 'supposed' drive didn't go down bcuz most of us couldn't make it. How about we plan a meet/drive? ..been about a year since the last time we invaded Valley of Fire. say we go again to end the year? and bring a cam for some shoots or I'll provide it for you.

Now picture these mini's but bimmers.. with a maybe Z and an Audi or :shifty when's the best time to go for everyone? make it official. Discuss :)

Hey I finally got to clean the lens on my cam. Almost ran to the cam shop to shell to out a few buck to pick up a cleaner. It was filthy, had water mark residue from taking pics when it rained hard out here the last time :shifty oh and I used Q-tip and alcohol -- corona extra, I think it was ;)

You boys mind if a couple GTO's tag along?

Valley of Fire is a fun drive, and I haven't been out with my new mods. ;)

I met a number of you guys awhile ago at Sapporo. Back when Token was still driving an SE-R.

Been good. Busy. I haven't been back to Sapporo's either, and oh what a night that was LOL.

Shame you can't make it. Is there an updated list of who IS going?

I am going to try and talk TheMasterRat into going, and I have a buddy with an 04 GTO that wants to make the cruise also. See you guys then.

Overtime FTL!!! I am owned by salary.

Great pics. I gotta get some of those clear turn sigs up front for mine. I saw some at Umnitza.com for 40 bucks. Anyone know about the quality of those? Maybe I can make the next drive with y'all. Mine's in the shop now havin' the trans rebuilt still. they said Wed. or Thurs. I guess I should've asked whether they meant this week or next! lol

next month's Death Valley drive I might consider.. is Hoover Dam any better?

what about the res..

Wow the pictures on this page are amazing too, you have got skillz.

thanks lol

Apparently, when all the rangers were at the turnoff, he saw me go by and started writing something down (maybe my lic. plate #). Then he saw all you guys go past, and I guess he figured he would pull over the first car. But when I came out of the last turn, I looked back and saw this white SUV two or three cars back. I knew that he had passed all you guys to get to that position, so I figured he had to be a ranger. So I drove REAL SLOW. And he passed me thinking the guy I got caught behind was with us. He pulls that guy over and it's some old f-ck. So at this point, the ranger is steaming pissed off b/c he pulled the wrong car over. So he basically escorts me out of the park staying right in front of me while we drive 35mph the whole way. It felt like forever! At one point, before the entry/exit point, he put some distance between me and him, and right after a 25mph construction zone turn, he was sitting on the side waiting to see if I came around the corner higher than the posted limit. But again, he wasn't slick enough. Eventually, I exited the park and after that, he had no jurisdiction...:evil2

haha I didn't think the cars behind us had any idea it was a ranger slowing everyone down. One of them with a blue dodge magnum I think it was cut pass 4-5 cars when we were doing 5 below the limit.
