Vacation to Minn.

[MainEngDwarf]

I recently returned from my vacation. I went to Minn. to spend about a week iwith my sons. The marauder is a great car for a road trip, i decided to shoot thru canada and come back into the states north of Detroit. Well since i was in the neighborhood, I stopped in to visit Lidio at Alternative Automotive. After getting lost finding the place :confused: I finally meet the legend :bows: He took the time from his busy schedual to talk to me about the marauder and his ideas for making it better. Since mine is a daily driver and used for road trips I'm probobly done with mods,(except for window tinting which happens this friday). Well we decide to take my marauder for a test drive and he points out the things that were bugging me about it. Which he addresses in his programming. I have to give him credit even though i just showed up on his doorstep he took the time to reprogram the car and save the program to my SCT 9100. So kudos to Lidio :up: . Anyway from there it was off to Minn. I took the Car ferry from Ludington, Mich. to Manitowoc, WI. If anyone ever has the oppertunity to travel this way, I highly recommend it,(it beats the h*** out of going around Chicago, Appoligies to windy city residents included). The boys and I spent a couple of days in the Minneapolis/St Paul area and then went to the Wisconsin Dells for a few days before I had to take them home to their mom. It was the first time they got a chance to see the marauder and they both loved it, ( I may have to fight them off with a stick when they get to driving age). Now for the important part, The vacation kill list:
2 Honda CRX's
1 hotrod Buick Roadmaster :D
1 honda Prelude
1 Mitsubishi Eclipse
2 Ford Focuses
1 Impala SS (the new one) and
2 Monte carlos(they are fun the owners actually thought they were fast ;) )

Ha - we see TONS of Monte Carlo SSs around here. WAYYY too many people (mostly kids and people in their 20s) think they are NASCAR drivers and that their SS can outperform everything else. I've humiliated more than a couple, and I will keep doing so. I guess this is the car I can't resist destroying because people just don't know how slow their car is.

I saw one with several thousand $ in costom body skirting and shiny exhaust tips, tinted windows and custom window decals. Also had a few thousand $ in spinners. I relish wasting cars like that, and the funniest part is that it can be done from a standing start and I don't even have to exceed the speed limit!

:lol:
