Well, Jordan and I headed off to HIN Orlando this morning! Please join along as we keep you updated on this weekend’s events.
This morning we woke up at 6:00 AM and rolled out from ZEN Motors, LLC at 6:30 AM. Thanks to Jordan for bringing me food! Chick-fil-a FTW!!!
The cars out side the shop ready to roll!

First thing we did was stop at QuickTrip for some gasoline!

Jordan topped off at just over $50. Ironically I did as well

Started to roll out and this is the first thing we saw! I learned today that they are called bumper nuts!

Jordan and I both took pics. So, obviously the ones I took were of his Passat and vice versa.

Parked outside the BK Lounge

After filling our stomachs we headed back onto 75 South.

By far the BEST gas mileage ever for me! Almost 400 miles on one tank!

At this point we were 60 miles out from Orlando. Had to stop by the turnpike to get just the right amount of gas. It was sunny skies up until now and what happens?

We got off at the last exit before the Orlando exit. I actually ran out of gas while pulling up to the pump! Talk about good luck! After we got our cars situated for the final 10 miles this is what we had to deal with!

\Checked into Days Inn at the Convention Center at 2:30 PM.. We had an issue with the door keys right away but got that fixed. Headed over to the roll in area. Where we waited and waited, and waited, and waited…

Staging area 2 where we were searched, tech researched, and organized to roll in. This was by far the worst organized event I have attended. It took us 3 hours of waiting to get in to this point. More waiting!
