Great turnout - 9 Marauders and Mike's Lincoln. It was quite impressive to see us all drive in together. However non of us won any of the awards. Most went to 2010 - 2012 Mustangs that were pretty much driven off the showroom floor.

[BlackOps]

She had a blast! She wore me out! At least she slept well on the way back home! The ride back was Sh!@#% (Sh!@#%)! NO A/C, Wipers acting retarded, plus I-285 West was backed up from road work! Had only two lanes open!

Believe me I already have my hands full with her 24/7!.... if you couldn’t tell! She’s non-stop! But I know what you mean at that age! Gotta clean the arsenal!!

[Marauder_Santa]

She is a cutie pie for sure. Like the energizer bunny - keeps on going!

[Marauder_Santa]

Who all will be coming to the next breakfast and car show?

[CWright]

Count me in.

[Black Terror]

Looks like a good turn out is expected and we should have all 4 colors. Remember that the car show at Year One requires a $25 entrance fee.

[PonyUP]

Are we allowed to bring coolers of beer? Lol it's a Saturday and seems like a prudent question to ask

[Marauder_Santa]

[Mike827]

[Marauder_Santa]

Show starts at noon - we will be able to get in and park around 11:30am. We should establish a meeting place near year One for any folks not joining us for breakfast but will be at the show.

The $25 is for entering the car at the show. Viewing is free.

[Marauder_Santa]

Here is the response about bringing alcohol to the event Saturday.

Hello,
Thank you for emailing to ask about the alcohol. We ask that you do not bring alcohol; but coolers are definitely ok. You’re welcome to bring food, and non-alcoholic beverages with you (it’s going to be an all-day event; so it couldn’t hurt to have a little something with you). There will also be vendors with food and drinks; but you’re still welcome to bring your own. Let us know if you have any further questions. Looking forward to seeing you guys at the show.

[Mac-MerC]

We had a great time today! It was good to see some of the Carolina guys (Rex and Russ). We appreciate you making the trip down and hopefully more can come next time. We had a few picts taken today and I got this made when we pulled in. A few others had theirs done as well with different back drops. Thought it was pretty cool.

[SC Cheesehead]

We had a great time yesterday. Dave, thanks for inviting us down and extending all that "Southern" hospitality to Russ and I.

Brad, really appreciate you letting us stay at your place Friday night, along with the "scouting reports" at the TK... :beer:

Mike, kudos to you for keeping us hydrated...;)

As always, enjoyed hanging with Paul, Chris and Todd; enjoyed meeting the other guys as well. We gotta do this again!

[GAMike]

It was pretty much a perfect day, with friends from near and far:beer:
Special thanks to Carl for a HUGE assist with a battery issue in my buddies GTO. That was above and beyond :bows:

Look forward to our next gtg in early November:burnout:
Gotta love it:banana2:

PS: I did get a txt from Claudio's wife up in TN..... Some of you guys may remember him(he is marauder.22 here) as he came to breakfast then got deployed to AFG. He came with his daughter back in May as well......

From what I can tell he was planning to join us for one last breakfast (he and his family are being posted @ Fort Drum NY in a couple of weeks), but had to go to the hosiptal up in TN Friday night..... I will investigate further.

My 3 boys grew up going to car shows, all 3 are gearheads now in their 20's, much to the unhappiness of their Mother and my Toolbox...
