Joey and Chris, thanks for a creating a fantastic excuse for me to drive out to Detroit!

I had a great 1900 mile drive, a day with the GTGuys, and a great time having dinner with Fred Goodnow, Chris Theodore, Kip Ewing, and many of the great folks that made this car, plus us a bunch of great owners (after talking to all the tri-state guys they are all ready to buy a Prius ;) ). Truly a great time and I thank you.

Hearing about your first leg of the trip made me laugh, and more than a bit jealous of how many more you have to go. I am glad I got the opportunity to see even just a small part of this hilarious odyssey! I think this will need a movie not a book! If this trip brings you anywhere near Boston, you of course know you have a place to stay.

If anyone finds yourself within 1000 miles of Chris and Joey’s trek, get in your GT and go meet them or invite them over. Happiness and fun seems to follow them and you will have a great time! Plus this is a great way to keep the fire and excitement for our car (at the very least value) alive, so give a hand fanning the flame!!

Stay safe, send lots of updates, and make us all jealous!!

STAY SAFE, SEND LOTS OF UPDATES, AND MAKE US ALL JEALOUS, AND THANKS AGAIN!! (TYPED LARGE FOR JOEY)

Rich,

Thought you fell off the planet. Good to hear your still around.

Wish I could have made the party in Detroit, but Joey and Chris are staying at my place in Arizona Tuesday night. Should be fun.

Stay in Touch

(all the better people are named Rich)

Dinner in Temple was great. Very nice to see everyone who turned out. Seeing more than one going down the road is still AWESOME. I can't believe it's been 5 years since the first rally.

Looks like Spirit has been hitting the buffet a little too often. He and MAD in NC are starting to look like twins.
