Got your seventh injector yet? hehehhehehe I bet that one has got a slow burn going at your house... I can feel the heat from here.
Well, I thought I was in the slow group. I went in the Blue easy group and not a one of us hit that damn tree.

The high speed guys with the fancy trucks seemed to mash the hell out of it. Odd, don't you think???

I'm with you man, I think that is odd, but I do see the reason for it. Some people don't even try to miss the tree because they just don't care. Furthermore, it would have slowed us up pretty good to talk everyone through that climb. The rocks were wet and sloped toward the tree. I managed to stay out of that one, but then I tagged one before that.

Maybe I'm lost here, but when, if ever would a 5spd be better than a auto, if they both have a crawler?

I know which I'd choose in a hairy spot, and I too have had both.

I'll tell ya, in these AZ rocks I've been plenty glad I have an auto. I would imagine a 5spd would equal dented quarter panels and broken axles. IMHO.

I will go hide in the closet now.:cry:

We need to set a date for the Fall Colors Ride.

Did you not take a look at it in PA?

Lets set that date. Hopefully I will be able to make it. I am pretty sure I will not be able to make our club run at big dogs due to money. Big dogs wants way too much for a weekend of wheeling, money I just don't have...

A manual would be better if they're both out of fluid.

I only saw it from a distance. I ment to get over and check it out closely, but it just did not work out. When ever I was in camp and so was your truck the storm was just blowing to hard.

With this huricane coming in now, I think it is time for wheeling! I am getting really used to wheeling in the rain.

I hear that man, all of us were huddled in groups under tarps that whole weekend. Oh well, I will probably run up to GW if we end up having fall colors there and if not and it is paragon again, I am sure I will try and swing that as well but with the longer distance and the more money there would be no promises during the school year. Its too bad we didn't get to hang out more in PA cause of all the freakin rain. We'll have to drink a few at Fall colors to make up for it!
