Well, guys, looks like you will have two crossfires with untested installed wavetracs coming up Saturday morning. I don't have any time to put miles on them since I will be on the road working all week. Crossing my fingers we did it right....lol.... Coupe is insane with the stock tires...roadster going under the knife as we speak...

So in the spirit of saving my marriage and possibly my life, I will be bowing out. Hope the weather holds up, it seems to be cooling down. Post lots of pics.

Housekeeping Issues:
- Dinner reservations - Need 'em by tomorrow p.m. This is the busiest bar night ($$$) of the year for restaurants in close proximity to Woodward, so the owners I'm working with want an accurate headcount. This is not difficult folks - Please let me know.
- If you have handheld radios, bring 'em (with spare batteries)
- Booze - No public alcohol consumption is allowed at the Dream Cruise. Polizia ticket heavily and the fines generally run around $200. Your call.
- If you are a music fan, the following groups are performing this weekend at venues within minutes of the hotel: J. Geils Band, Maroon 5/Train, Dweezil Zappa, Lil Wayne and George Thorogood.
Weather is supposed to be lower to mid 80's & Sunny Fri & Sat.

George is one of my favorites of all the DVD concerts we have. It sounds like he sees life through the bottom of shot glass, which is ok with me, as long as it is not me

I'm posting this as a community service: A friend has approx 10 sets of NIB Crossfire salt/pepper shakers, the ones from Chrysler. He's stoping by the parking area on Sat. if your interested in buying a set. I didn't ask price but I'd guess they're in the range of $20. See y'all Friday.
