West Coast GT · 07-27-2007

I'm still planning on being there.

But yep, GT's still at the shop for the 3rd day. I've turned it over to the pros 'cause I heard somewhere brakes were something I would want - especially running down state route 49 with all of it's twisties & elevation.

I shouldn't bring my wife's Miata because I just drove to Los Angeles (Peterson Automotive Museum). I think she wants to drive it once in a while.

I don't want to bring the Bonneville. Sounds like a full-size sedan would be boring - but it just flat-out moves with that 3800 engine and sport handling package.

So it looks like I'll be in my LeBaron daily driver. It's got a Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 and performs quite well. But being a convertible it handles like a bucket of slop. Plus being a non-Opel I'll be relegated to the back of the line. But hey, a drive through California's Sierra Nevada Mountain foothills in a convertible at the end of the line of Opels still beats a day of yardwork.

It'll be good to see some of you again, and to meet you others for the 1st time. Cool.
