Really hoping I can make it out there...

it took everything in my being not to explode because it wasnt his childs fault it was his. i just mumbled 'fuck' because my two kids were in the car, his son was right there and i don't want to be THAT guy at my kids school. i just closed the door after i mumbled the word and didnt say or do anything.
...wow That sucks! IDK... keeping my cool is one thing and is hard enuff by itself. But weren't u able to exchange INS info for processing. I know, its kinda petty. But at the same time its holding that Dad responsible at the same time since he did not claim the fault or take action at least showing remorse to the accident... U know?

Same thing happened to my rear drivers door from a kid (I assume) getting out of a Tahoe at cars and coffee. He left a dent and deep scratch about an inch long. And this happened at a friggen car show of all places! I got back to my can and the Tahoe was gone and security camera was not on in the lot. My PDR guy got it out to perfection, I have no idea how he does it. I will PM you his info

thats cool! ^^^ I just tried getting Vance/HelaTLS and he said he will be in Orl/Clermont area for a 70mi Bike Race till 1pm but not willing to head to TPA afterwards... Too bad. Really a cool guy I have known for many many moons going back to our Civic HB days approx 10yrs

So from what I saw it looked like a 40% potential chance of rain on Sunday - IF there is rain do we want to reschedule and what time is cutoff to reschedule for the out of town guys?

Indeed. BN9 indicates a 40% chance. However, Florida's weather is so unpredictable, I would still count on a successful event.

The thread kind of died again... who's still coming?

I think it's a good idea to meet and greet for a while then take a cruise to get some food.
