I leave in one week, six hours and 13 minutes.

Also, my Escort 9500 Radar Detector will be for sale at the Dragon - I bought it this past Spring but I have come to realize that the LAST thing I need is a radar detector - it makes me too brave! I'd rather take my occasional lump than have this thing with me!

Been all over CarID over our Lexani wheels the last two weeks .. that we were told would be in 1st week of September. They get them today from Lexani and for only another 125 bucks they can get them on the UPS truck Friday and get them to us Monday. At least I get Tuesday to get them mounted up and on the car before our Wednesday morning departure...

Leaving for Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow.. and really wanted the winners circle photo with the new look too... Hope those wheels look twice as good in person as online since they ain't making this an easy transaction!

For


For the record, according to my shrink, I am well beyond help.

Happened on theway to work this morning. However, I pulled the battery cable for 5 minutes and things seem fine now.


I have owned dozens of cars with Check engine lights over the last 40 years. Combined, they did not light up as often as the one on my Crossie.


I dropped a full can of SeaFoam in the tank Yesterday. That may have spooked the CPU


If it comes on again, I'll pull the codes.

The best Dragon runs are early Monday AM. especially the fall run. No traffic and no cops. Cool air and warm pavement. Perfect conditions for NA or Supercharger.


The car is on fire.
