Friends, work, everything. Its just me, the car, and a twisty road. The exhilaration of being on the edge of catastrophe is something that I will never be able to give up.

Keep in mind that this IS A DANGEROUS ROAD! When it looks like its going to curve one way, it will go completely in the other direction. There is a reason its called the Dragon, it bites! There are deaths on it every year, and unfortunately, as of late, it is inundated with law enforcement. But it has been easing up in the past couple of weeks.
It is however still a very enjoyable road and as long as one drives it respectfully (and stays off the center line!) they will have no troubles. I don't mean to scare anyone or dissuade them from coming to drive it, I just don't want to see anyone hurt so drive safe, drive within your limits, and above all, HAVE FUN!!!Jim K.

Ok folks one week until the meet, and gas stations are running out of gas all over the country. What happens if there is no gas at Pigeon Forge because all these silly ninnies had to go top off their Expedition EL = no meet.

Gas here went from $3.40 up to $4.89 around 5 PM yesterday.
Since I had a full tank from that morning I think that is the only time my car actually appreciated in value. $19.37 to be exact.
People freak out about the gas thing every storm. We'll have gas until PF-X.....maybe.¶¶¶ Spyder Mica Metallic1994 PGT ZE-T04E Intercooled @ 6 psi.. ----- Sold within NEPO and PT

Originally posted by mx64life View PostWell I can add this, since my roommates and I are from Sevier County (Pigeon Forge) I can tell you this: It's the grand rod run this weekend, which means theres a shit ton of muscle cars in town (think thousands easily). They ALL went to get gas when the news came out....and I've gotten reports from both my girlfriend and alot of the guys up there that 90% of Sevier County is out of gas. Now, my mom called last night and I asked here about it and she said that while there wasn't much gas right now the city was working on getting alot in to the county because of the rod run....so thats what I know right now....
But all that $$$ I would spend on gas would pay for a shit-ton of bolt-ons at least It's a win-win situation.PhotoPOC(tm)

Not good. Everyone around here are running out of gas rapidly. I'm not sure of the national situation, but its not good here. I can tell you this...if the meet was in florida I'd be staying here. I'm considering not going up there myself until all this goes away. However I am but one man. It's really up to you guys."I come from a very big family, nine parents."

Doesn't seem to bad here in Orlando, couple places went up alot but for the most part I'm seeing 93 at just under $4/gal. Not a big jump for all the damn media hype IMO.89 PGT: Garrett t3, FMIC, MS, 460cc, 2.5"TBE, other stuff, in pieces

I'm going to let everything play out over the course of the next couple days and see what happens but as of right now I am not going, but still preparing the car and getting everything squared away as if I were.
It's a win-win situation for me, if I go, I have a great time, if not, I have a ton of money to spend on a decent-size nitrous kit for my car.
The only problem is if there ends up being a fuel shortage there and the meet has to be postponed I need to know so I can get the time off.PhotoPOC(tm)
