I just store the X1/9 in the glovebox of the Durango.
Makes sense. Did not think of that :-)
Nice looking fleet of fun stuff!

Thanks BG! Only one of them is worth anything, but yeah, they're fun.

Today was a big day for the auto museum. Can't talk about it yet, but it was a big day.

Reminds me of "The first rule of Fight Club...." The sun is out, it's a beautiful day in the KC area, and I didn't get harrassed or arrested for going to the store and back! Plus the store had toilet paper! That's a big day in and of itself.

You can't just say that and not give more info! New Partner? New car coming?

Well, here's a bigger clue than I should probably give:

Thanks. It is still a ways off (probably ~4 years with the capital campaign and construction), but my hope is that it becomes a place worthy of hosting national events like PCA Parade. The location is fantastic, not only within the city and surrounded by a huge freaking park, but being right in the middle of the country, it makes sense for national car conventions. Everybody drives or drags their show cars to national events. If you have one on either coast, then the opposite coast has to go all the way cross-country. We are more convenient (or equally inconvenient) for both coasts.

Here's the view it will have once built:

Very cool. May have to make a 996 road trip to KC when this opens.

I will definitely host a 996outpost convention when it gets up and running. Who knows, maybe by then we'll actually have enough members to be a real PITA to the local authorities.
