It had 2 comments within seconds of posting, we shall see what happens.

Lol! I like the response in response to that response.

I may not make it to the next meet. Something is ****ed on the left front of my car and is making a nasty clunk noise over bumps. My mechanic friend thinks the shock is blown (wouldn't surprise me), but I'm not sure. I have no desire to spend money on it now so it's getting parked for awhile.

Ran this route over the past weekend since I had to be in Livermore for a bday party and I live in SJ. Took just under 2 hours. Amazing drive and i forgot how beautiful CA can be. I was damn near tempted to stop and just enjoy the sights along many places on Mines road.

I think I passed about 6 cars total the entire time. Everyone moved over except a douche in an A6 near mile 10 of mines road closer to the end of the drive. I did manage to pass him though despite his antics.

I stared the route at 10AM and got to Tesla a little bit before 12PM.

The Junction Restruant is where Mines Road, Del Puerto Canyon Road, ans San Antonio Valley Road meet.

Sunday the 19th.

BTW, where and what time are we meeting? I'd prefer something in the morning since I go visit my dad on Sunday afternoons.

I forgot I have a wedding to go to the night before. I may or may not show up, it all depends on how I feel. It's my friend's little brother that's getting married and when he got married the alcohol was flowing. They rented out the Monterey Bay Aquarium for that one (we got to wander throughout the place too) and I'm expecting this one to be just as awesome even though it's up in Napa.

If I'm not there, it means I'm hung over as **** or possibly still drunk.
