Hey Roo - thanks for the great drive. It was the first fun driving I've done in months. Sorry about that ticket -- that was bogus. That CHP must have been having a really bad day.

Also, mrstofu and I loved the crabs. We fed 6 people with those 4 gigantic crabs!

Good to hear. Of all the things I could get a ticket for, this was probably the absolute LEAST likely thing. It wasn't speeding, so a V1 wouldn't have done a thing...
My left edge of the tire was hitting the reflectors on the double solid yellow line in a narrow spot in the road...

...and he wrote me up for CROSSING the double yellow line. I was traveling at 5 UNDER the speed limit on that road...

Thats what happened to me in front of my high schoo.l i had to take a wide right turn going like 5mph and my tire nicked the double yellow. Instead of giving me a ticket he called my parents and told them i was speeding and went over the double yellow!!!

Oh and on my way up to meet Roo, I saw a beautifully restored Aston Martin Volante with rally lights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_M...age_%281977%29). No heat seeking missiles on this one, though

Does anyone going on this drive have D-spec struts? If so what settings do you use? I’m still playing around with it.

In the event of rain, I'll still be going. Only just slower.
