I'm going to meet you guys at the Dunkin Donuts just to say hi. I never met any of you guys and all of you have nice rides.

thats cool

how many miles is this cruise?

I believe it shows about 79 miles from Burtonsville to Triangle

is that the last stop?

yup, thats were the museum is located so if we eat/cruise somewhere else, thats a game-day decision

...if not, its another 80 + miles back home

I'm definitely in. Oil change is complete. I really need a lift/ramps for next time...

Ok guys add me to the list. Will there be a meet stop anywhere in between Burtonsville and the museum? If not I'll see you all @ 0900 hrs in Burtonsville.

Have fun tomorrow, gang
Just remember, I'm only 7.5 miles away at work and wouldn't mind coming down for a little bit to hang out Bronson or Ron can call or text me.

Well I'm out. Catastrophe struck. Just as I was about to wash the car this afternoon, I found a large chunk of metal protruding from my tire. Drove to a local shop and it definitely needs a new tire. Thank God this is the damn bible belt and everyone's closed for the night and Sunday. The two shops in this God-forsaken state that are open late don't carry the tire. Now I'm about to be out $300 for one new tire that I can't get put on before Tuesday.

Dammit.

Have fun you guys. My weekend sucks balls now.

Well that just sux. At least you go fresh oil in her

that should be fine just find us when you get there look for mine and the other cars

Sorry to hear about your luck Andrew.

I dont see us leaving until 10ish so we can all enjoy the cars at the cruise-in.

No plans as of now for a meet spot between the start and the museum unless someone needs it, post up info if needed and it would be good to have a contact # in case plans change.....

Sorry to that blakjak....

I was looking forward to going especially after my car has been sitting for a month for a needed clutch replacement. finished everything this evening and was happy to finally get it done but something is really messed up inside my trans and now it wont go in 2nd or 4th gear and the trans is screaming for its life while accelerating. so im out for tommorrow i'll be pulling the trans back out if i feel like it. you kidz have fun!!

sorry to hear that ranx93

Just throwing this out there cause Im down in va....traffics on 95s around springfield to fairfax county pkwy usually sucks even on sundays.

And if you guys dont wanna eat with the jar-heads (meant affectionatly of course ), we can stop in woodbridge at ex158 as theres lots of food joints there and I think its the 1st one we come to is a wendys with a huge parking lot on the right side of the road.

Also you can actually drive right onto the quatico base itself since its pretty wierd to explain but there is a civilian town right in the middle of it. I dont know why or how it works but I went there to go to the gun shop(which has good deals on assault rifles ) they have there it looks like kind of a nice "mayberry" looking town with on street parking. Just some fyi if anyones interested.

Ron, we wont be going 95S by Springfield, we'll be going out 66 to 234 to 95S just north of the museum, I will be going home 95N so I hope the mixing bowl is clear then

Yea im new to the site just checkin yall out ill be at the museum and if you guys are into long rides i know southern va like the back of my hand could meet up in dahlgren sometime across from the bridge from maryland and ride down through colonial beach to montross to tappahanock to 17 and come back down towards dahlgren va for a long counrty ride through southern va make a few stops through there jus might be an easy country ride just think about it check it out on mapquest.com lets see what you all think long ride but just a interseting ride i usually take when im not going to key west and back lol.... just an idea feel free to shoot it... down lol no worries
