- Getting the bugs worked out and dyno pulls in.. Popped head gasket on last pull. We flipped a coin. Ended up loading up Rosaline and fix her at the race track when we get there.
-
- Stopped for gas in Ferguson, MO
-
- We got stuck broke down here. Never trust GPS when you hauling a 20,000lbs. The transmission fluid got hot, we lost engine braking, over worked the brakes. It was scary.

- Somewhere in Ohio heading back to Kansas City
It was a long week this trip. I literally drove over 13hrs to Kansas City stayed up a couple nights took a power nap and we hit the road to Maryland then stayed up all night getting the car ready. Then stayed up a night or two.. With naps in between. LOL It was crazy!!! The experience has always been memorable traveling cross country and going racing with great friends.
Drove straight to Kansas City 13hrs from SC. Took a couple hour nap and headed to STL for Import Faceoff.
This is what the Miata looked like after the drive back.
Yes it did storm like crazy and I pulled off and waited 20 minutes. The Road wasn’t visible!
I’d say the little guy got great MPG! its 25 years old!
Very intresting event. Held every year.. Haven’t ever seen soo many viet people in one spot.. lol. Any how.. in arkansas now.. Apparently going to a party that tinnman is spinning at.. I feel like I should have stayed home.. Like I said way before when the idea of going to arkansas first came up.. Just feel like I can be doing work.. Getting shit done on my own time. Apparently I cant work on work related online shit at work so its hard to work on work. As retarded as that sounded… thats the truth. I cant build a 1000+ online shopping cart for work at work during work hours.. The way shit has been going I dont think I’ll be able to get to it for at least two weeks. I don’t know if parts sales is what they want to do. But from my studies and research thru the years.. Parts sales should make 70% of annual sales… Which would equal more profit. Sales + labor for installation = more profit. Simple as that. Its just logical thinking. I know it works. If you can’t make a sale you can’t make the labor installation lol.. but If you can make that sale and the sale for labor to install you got a good ‘sale’
I just don’t feel like I belong on this trip. Some times seeing soo much of people gets to ya. The littles dumb things irritate you. It’s like I shouldnt say anything and stand up for my self and be treated like a little kid. Seriously.. I just hate being held back from doing things Id like to get done. Its not my fault its not getting done because Im getting held back.. But Id like to get things done so I wont have to do it later. I have certain ways ‘I’ do things. To get shit done. I take my sweeet ass time if I have to. ‘Cause I can!
I don’t have to be here in my position now. I wouldn’t have a problem collecting my things and giving things away and just leave. I’ve done it before. Not like I can’t do it again. First thing I would give away is my blue civic hatch. Its useless to me if it doesnt run. I’d just take my suit case and throw everything else away. I have no other belongings. As I said in the past… It seems that I tend to move every 5 years… Well the end of this year will be the big FIVE… I feel if I can’t do what I need to do to help out this company, the way I see best fits the growth of this company.. I’ll probably just pack up and leave.. The things I do people aren’t really capable of in the company. Sure they could pay some one else to do it. That would be great for the lucky person that gets paid to do it.
On the way back to Kansas City we stopped in Vandalia, IL.
Funny thing.. Jimmy caught a flat.. We left the car in the STL area..
This is how you take off your lug nuts when u forget the key…
Big Tones Car…
So low we had to put the sissor jack in the back..
