*** Made it home safe thread ***

[DOOM]

Post up when you get home.

Safe travels everyone. :wave:

[MM2004]

Looks like everyone had left the Hotel by 11:30AM?

Been home a while and putting stuffs up while Charlotte is resting on the couch.

This weekend was a good one folks, and wishing safe travels for everyone!

Beer #3, and finally relaxing.

You guys rock!

;)

Mike.

[Blk04MM]

Anyone got video of that turbo blue ?? (Z mans car)

Hope everyone does travel safe

[L.Mark]

Been home for awhile. Not hung over:D:D:D
Wishing everyone clear horizons and safe travels. Had a blast...:banana:

[Embassy]

Of course Kelly and I made it home fine since we live in Louisville.

Congrats to Mike and the organizers for another fun and memorable event.

It was great to see so many new attendees, meeting Maury, and catching up with the veteran attendees.

The Marauders are the background for the event. It's the friends you meet and the memories you make that keep you coming back.

See you all next year.

[MOTOWN]

Made it Home about 1pm, Had a great trip back with CWRIGHT thanks for the ride bud!

[Granddaddy Marq]

We're home safe. Ran with Maury down to the Ky./Tn. line. "The Ol' Man don't play!"

[LOWBUCKMM]

I just made it home. Had a great time seeing everyone. Great weekend like every other year. Thanks again mike for putting this event together.

Just walked in the door. It was great a few Atlanta guys were able to go. Enjoyed having a copilot this year.

Mike, I had a great time man! Thanks for being willing to get this together each year! You da man! :beer:

[lji372]

Just walked in the door
Had a blast!!
Hopefully I will be attending many more events in the future. You guys are a cool group of funny kind boneheaded people and I am glad to have met you all :beer:
It was awesome putting real names and faces to screen names and avatars then forgetting most of them the next day:shake:

Thanks to all the people who made this happen.
Great job organizing the events!!!

[Baaad GN]

Brad dropped me off a 3PM, he should be home at 330PM. was nice and easy ride home, Great Time!

[Mike]

Trish and I are home safe and sound. Everything's unpacked, 1st load of laundry is in the wash, cooler unpacked and fertilized the lawn :D

[MERCMAN]

Julie and I arrived home @4:45 after a stop for a meal and an outlet mall.

Great time, thank everyone for making this the most successful KY in 8 yrs! :up:

[IwantmyMMnow!]

Rolled in 20 min ago...or I should say sprinted in...my back teeth were floatin'....

Uneventful trip home; traffic was backed up for almost 50 miles on 75 north starting at the KY/TN state line....soooooo glad it was in the other direction....

Averaged 22.8 mpg on the way up and 21.9 on the way back.

Feels like I never left now :bigcry:, except I've got 1600 more miles on the odo than I did 4 days ago.

Had lots o' fun and as always, was too short; guess that's why these things are so great...leaves you in a 'can't wait til the next get-together' frame of mind.

BIIIIIG thanks to Mike for puttin' this shindig together, and a big thanks to all who helped out in one way or another.

Was thrilled to meet Maury and to see Sgt Mac; you guys rock!

I has a sad now....:alone:

Is it September yet?

[justbob]

Just us made it home. FINALLY..

I snapped my passenger side cut out in HALF leaving the hotel. I had to flat out remove both.. Yup, six HOURS of open headers. I have a great wife! Even though our brains are bleeding and our bodies are vibrating now.

[MyBlackBeasts]

Home at 4:30, unpacked & put everything away, sitting down to chill out. Smooth uneventful trip, no traffic, beautiful weather.

I had an absolute blast! Thanks Mike for a great event.

Was nice seeing everyone I met at MVX again and a bunch of new faces also. Unfortunately with my terrible memory, I'll forget a lot of you and will have to be reminded when I see you next time... :shake:

It was great meeting & talking with Maury and talking with Mac again. Their stories of mm.net early days were great to listen to.

I do now have a new favorite game - LCR. OMG what fun was that last night!?!

Hey, if anyone saw & recognised the guy that attacked me and forced all those beers down my throat, please let me know! I want to press charges!!! :eek:

Everyone be safe & I'm looking forward to the next function! :D

[guspech750]

In! 5:30. Made it home on a tank of fuel. Fuel needle below E.

As always. Each year (4 in a row now) is better and better and my friendships stronger. Going to really miss everyone. But all is not gone. MV11 here we come :burnout:

Thanks to all the new peeps who came out and experienced such greatness. You guys rock! You new peeps made it great too. Had a great time meeting all the new peeps. Hope you continue to support such a great community/family of people.

Thanks a lot Mike and Charlotte. The two of you put on quite a show and I really appreciate it.

We made it in safe last night, but I hit a giant sheet of construction fabric on the way back. The road went from 70 to 55 because of work on a bridge. The concrete barriers brought it down to one tight lane on the bridge. The barriers were right up to the paint lines, very narrow. As we approach, I'm in the lead of course with a black Charger behind that was doing a fairly good job of keeping up, and about 10 or 12 car lengths back was about 5 or 6 more cars. Right as I hit the bridge, a breeze caught a giant white sheet of that fabric they hang from the bridge to contain dust and crap while they work on it and it flipped it right over and blocked the whole damn bridge. The options were nail the brakes and get rear ended or blast it and drag it out the other side, taking one for the team. I blasted it. It was like the blue tarps you use to cover stuff, plasticky and woven, but it was white as a sheet. Amy was sleeping when we hit it, she woke up screaming thinking we crashed because all she heard was me yell "****!" followed by a loud bang and tires squealing when they re-caught traction. It jerked the front end to the right but miraculously not enough to pull us into the barriers. The black Charger got raked down the passenger side, he slowed way down and probably pulled over, the other folks on the bridge came to a complete stop, probably banged into each other, I don't know. I shook the wheel back and forth, looked at my temp guage and sailed up the hill, got back up to 85 and didn't see those cars again. Looked at the front end this morning, I may have some scratches on the passenger fender but I think the bra took the brunt of the hit. Then a while later, an empty Pepsi half case box rolled out onto the road like a tumble weed and I centered it. It was a loud hit. I yelled "Seriously?! What is going on here?!" Oh well, stuff happens.

Back at castle DOOM in one piece.

The weather was perfect for a Sunday drive.

Holy Bejesus!!!! I am glad you were able to save it and you both are alright. I am sure that shook you guys up.

Thank God you had a bra on (first time I have ever said that:))

I am sure a few scratches can be buffed out but a rear bumper would have been tough to replace. Phewwww......

Before class last night, I ran it thru one of those car washes with the soft rubbery foam "bristles", which I never do, and it cleaned up amazingly well. Only scuffs I can see are a couple on the pillar right beside the passenger side mirror. I thought for sure I lost the passenger mirror and wiper when it happened. Front tag stayed on. Still need to clean the driver seat, tho......
