Dane,
Proceeds of those two 135 wheels that I dropped off to you a couple of weks ago for the silent auction, the purpose was for the proceeds of that sale to go in the 'Fest pot too. The front wheel is good, some cosmetic blemishes but perfect for a full size spare. And the rear has a bend on the inner lip but still holds air fine, a decent back-up/temporary use wheel.

Yup. Thanks Bruce. All silent auction monies are going toward the meet. Thanks.

Additionally....all monies contributed thus far have been transferred to my checking account. The monies donated will go toward the purchase of:

1. The banner ($260.00 - PAID) and banner hangers ($10)
2. ICE ($20)
3. Beer and wine coolers ($200)
4. Soda ($50)
5. Burgers, eggs, buns, chili, cheese for Sunday morning breakfast. ($100)
6. Two tanks of propane. ($40.00 - I have the tanks)
7. two ink cartridges for name tag and silent auction printing. ($60)
7. 2 gallons of tiki torch fuel and wicks. ($35)
8. Catering the Friday night meal......(GMATT = Gary)($160-PAID)
9. 2 large plastic trash barrels for the beer/soda and ice ($35.00). Will also be some in garage refrigerator....but I thought....more than one recieving point would be nice.
10. Cake for Saturday night ($30.00)

TOTAL ABOVE = $1000.00 (Stuff adds up pretty quick)....and I know I've forgotten stuff.

Anything above and beyond what we have raised thus far....will be donated by me, or be covered by silent auction items (hopefully). I have purchased a new barbeque (Needed one...but figured that's part of my donation, as well)

Thought I would keep the attendees in the loop on this stuff, as I have the company money. Looking at my list....if you have a thought or suggestion (or see something obvious I've missed)...let me know via PM.

Thanks and have a great Friday/Weekend

We hit $990 I believe. I thought it was $1000.....but maybe not. I'm gonna add it all up.

EDIT: We've hit $1000....it's hard for me to get exact amount.....as I have recieved other Paypals in the amounts of $10.00 for use of my SRS reset tool, and some other stuff. It's just hard to delineate....but I know we were running toward $1000 and we got it.

Funny story. I had a home class when I was in like 7th grade I think. I think my thought process was I would meet lots of chicas :biggrin

Well anyway, I decided I was going to show everyone how to make fudge. So there I am in front of the class making my fudge and explaining how awesome making fudge was throwing winks to the ladies and all. Stirring my fudge on the hot plate. Then I pulled my stir stick out and it was gone!!!!

FYI, when making fudge don't use a plastic stir stick. It just melts away!!!! Needless to say, we did not eat my fudge and I taught everyone why guys shouldn't be in the ladies class.

Well, it turns out that I won't be able to make it due to work (douchebaggery of the advertising world, known as TV upfronts). I'm totally bummed, for one because my little oil leak isn't solving itself and also because I wanted to get some inspiration for what my car could become. I guess it'll have to wait. But I sent some cash and am glad to support the best car owner forum I've found. Looking forward to next year's event! Hopefully we can do a mini meet up later this summer, just for coffee and donuts or something less involved.

No, it just a wire that completes a circuit so when it is not working its similar to a bad bulb, burnt filament is an incomplete circuit.

I've put in 60 hrs of work this week already just drove all the way home from chantilly and they are doing construction on my ramp, apparently they forgot to put up the exit is closed sign and I drove right through where they are getting ready to pave.

I have a car wash right next to my house, I stopped and washed immediately, hope I got all of it :(.

Can't tell if I messed anything up in the front end yet, I hit where they scrape down the cement HARD.

Dane - Bud, thanks for the hospitality and everything, which is a severe understatement, mere words don't capture it, you are the best.

Everybody - I enjoyed meeting many of you for the first time and others getting to see you again. There will be more occasions, hopefully many more.

Mods - I'll send you a PM in the next day or two, my son's friend Nick wants to join our family, the hook is firmly set. And if his dad approves, I'm going to help him find his first ZHP. If so, Nick will need to sell his current ride first, know of anyone looking for a nice 325i?

Family - thank you all from the bottom of my heart, the comraderie, the atmosphere, the love of each other and our steeds, unbelievable. A GREAT and unplanned father-son bonding occured today, even driving from separate cars, not sure it was noticed but I sure got it. And right as I'm starting to lose him, my 1st born, sending him off to college in a couple of months, its gone by so fast it blows my mind, I still remember vividly teaching him how to ride a bike at 4, just like it was yesterday. Hopefully he picked up something today, I sure as heck did!

I had a wonderful experience and it really was a somewhat humbling experience to not only be invited and be a part of the function, but also to get to play a role in helping further the good name of the forum and its members. Great job, Mr. Wilson. Thank you to all of the new faces and wonderful people who make this event a huge success. Thanks everyone. Great rides, better people, amazing time.

Also, relay the message: 96.5 Richmond Classic Rock is playing Led Zeppelin III in its entirety.

...or you can just do that yourself if you have an aux cable ;)

Made it home going the "long" way in 6 hours on the nose thanks to my highway wingman kayger. Missed hours of traffic on 95 and the tp by taking 13 n.

Son had to work today, so no joy for us to partake in maintenance day. He added the following speed mod today after work, what do you think 1 mph for each?

The color is a perfect match, mucho gracias Marcus!

Dane, thanks for hosting another epic ZHP meet. Absolute blast. I love hanging with everyone.

It was great to see both new and familiar faces. Lots of fun was had. It always feels like family with everyone every single time.

Thanks to everyone for helping me get rotors on my car, especially the front-right. That was a nightmare. I'd love to type more but I need teh sleepz0rz.

It's raining. No one knows how to drive in the rain. My windshield wipers are squeaking. Morale low. Shirt still dirty. Currently refueling body at Five Guys.

Surrounded by weird people. Keeping low-key.


LOL! There has to be a smile joke in there somewhere...along with another about the pad being backwards. DUDE! You forgot the most important part for your morale - THE BRAKES FRICKIN' ROCK! ...Even more so once you hit 88MPH...

My pleasure. When I hit 295 in jersey the signs said "delays njtp exits 5-8 60 min delay". That's over 30 miles and no way just a one hour delay. Liars.

So good to meet you all. What a great bunch of selfless people! You know it online, but it's even better to see it in person. Had fun wrenching all day Sunday. Ryan's Kyle and Justin put in some great work.

Driving Lucy and Kpro's 1 series was special; what fun (and an honor) to drive both those cars).

Finally, of course a special thanks goes to Charlie for getting me there (and picking me up from the airport with BP), to Dane for hosting and letting me drive the photoshoot car), and to Kyle (static) to getting me back to Norfolk airport.

Great meeting you all!

At the Norfolk airport, wearing one of my 3 zhpmafia shirts, and the TSA agent asks me what the zhpmafia is. Then, as I'm walking down the long consourse toward my gate I keep seeing something thing over the rise at then end that looks like a large roundel, and I'm chuckling to myself that this can't be, that it's too good. Sure enough, it was.

I don't know where else to put this little story, so I'll just leave it here.

So Sunday evening after swapping my diff and trans fluid, BP pulls his car into Danes garage to get his fenders rolled. Justin Wilson had been working on most everyones car in the garage that day and was fairly hungry. Not wanting any leftovers to eat for dinner, Dane goes to Wendy's to grab some food for him and his sons. After returning from Wendy's and giving the food to Justin, Dane started eating his burger. Walker comes out into the garage and asks for some paper towels to wipe off his hands. Dane says that the paper towels are all gone and to just make do. Walker goes back inside. So Dane, in need of a paper towel after eating his burger, walks over to a shelf in the corner of the garage. He grabs a clean microfiber cloth and wipes his mouth with it, using it as a napkin. It was one of the most baller things I have ever seen. I immediately referenced the episode of the Chappelle show where he is on MTV Cribs and puts diamonds on all of his food.

Now we all know that Dane Wilson's hands can beat a royal flush, and that he can burst onto any scene just by walking slowly. But when you witness one of these events happen in real life, when no one is supposed to notice. It is truly something to be marveled.
