Although I only attended two-out-of-five EOS's, going up to the Bay Area with you guys for two consecutive years in a row has been the most fun and memorable thing I've ever done. Thanks a lot to everyone. It was great to see new faces and keep the good times rollin' with those familiar ones. Hope to see you all again soon.

Here's another "Mach1" picture... For those of you that didn't come on the convoy, last night on the way back we "encountered" a blue 350Z who decided he was fast enough to join our convoy. He was peaceful for a while, but then decided he wanted to extol the virtues of his car... After discussing it very briefly on the radios, we then took quick action, and a group of 5 or 6 of us decided to show him exactly what he was messing with. The 350Z floors it, and about 10 seconds later I did the same, followed by a couple more from our convoy. We caught up to him (while he was at WOT, by the way) in a matter of seconds - probably 10. I pulled next to him, then floored it again to let him feel the power up close and personal. I backed off and let the others do the same thing. The icing on the cake was Ed (edgy) came and finished the job with his supercharged IS300. LOTS of fun, and when flipside909 and the rest of the crew caught up with us at the gas station, he already had us labeled - the Mach1 crew... After we got back on the road, we again encountered the 350Z, and all of us rolled down our windows and give him a . We then decided to commemorate the occasion by marking the kill on my car...

well, ritsa called and told me the 3gs and 2is both look very mean. they went in and out of traffic, very fast, she tried to keep up from time to time but couldn't really get too close. but funny thing was somehow she kept up with them pretty much the whole way!!!!!!

then yesterday when i talked to clark, he told me sometimes he did 120mph as well....

hahahaa, now i wonder how ritsa drives

I'm sorry that we missed the convoy home with you guys, but we did have a good time in Carmel. It sounds like that 350Z had no clue what he was messing with.

I'm sorry I didn't make it to that impromptu dinner last night ... my car had a prior engagement @ TM. (Mad props to Todd for staying up wicked late last night to finish her up before I headed home!). She's running like silk now and I'm out to door to AZ in five minutes.

I'll post my photos in the gallery and a recap in the other thread, but I'll quickly say that you guys made us feel so welcome and we definitely enjoyed meeting a lot of you and hanging out. I just might have to spend a little more time out here in SoCal.

Hey Zach, seems like you guys need to spend a lot more time in SoCal. I'm glad that you got your car serviced before you leave for AZ. By the way, change your avitar man, it doesn't remotely come close to what you look like haha

p.s Make sure you call IDEAGUY if you get lost 'cuz he has an awesome Nav Unit haha
