Man, what a weekend. F that, what a month. As you all know, took the last week off from work (thank goodness my boss is badass enough to let me skip out for so long haha *thanks leah!*) to finish the car which turned into a mad dash the few days before the show. Painted Roxy about 3 days before the departure date and then it was all piecing her back together craziness. Sleeping 4 hours a night, getting up at 5am to wrench etc etc...

The day before we left, we got a good amount done but it started to rain, I lost day light etc etc so we had to wake up asscrack of dawn early to finish her up. Slapped the wheels on, finished up the bumper and interior and re-wired the stereo so I could have something decent to listen to on the way there.

The drive down was perfect. Not one flaw with her albiet her cluster took a poop half way through so I had no idea how fast I was going the entire time. We got into town, checked into our little slice of ocean city heaven *gags* and just started the relaxing process for the whole weekend.

It was a little weird this time around as we were sort of split up from our local crew of friends as they were across the bay and we were in the thick of the party, literally 20 feet overlooking the main hangout at the show as (bad)luck would have it.

Nothing crazy really happened at all which I guess was good and bad. Remembering back to past years, I can recall a lot more drinking and stupid antics and this year it was completely devoid of all of them. Not sure if I miss it or not but at least I didn't walk away with too many tickets this year (just one for no seat belt mom. Only 25 bucks!)

We met up with the editor of PVW for whom was an awesome, awesome guy and the crew he rolled with with were so much fun to meet and talk shop with all day on Sunday (including a few MK4 drivers I had never physically met yet who turned out to be the bees knees too).

So yeah, nothing crazy, Roxy drove like a champ, was extremely well received from everyone and kate and I just had a great, relaxing trip which was exactly what I needed =)

On with the pics:

On with the show. I want this shirt. Badly.


Then we got tired so we drove home.


And we just HAD to stop at wendys didn't we?


That's when Roxy's alarm disabler turned on for some reason. Locking the doors shut and when you have custom handles with no keyholes, yer kinda fucked.


Buuut, after an hour of finagling, we got on the road again to come home to a very excited pooch Carson. More pics soon! Man it's good to eat REAL food and sleep in a REAL bed again. I've had enough fast food for a year haha
