But then, with the "Hope" disaster, and then all the political discussions I got into on this forum - by the next Dragon, I had people coming up to me and saying, "So,YOU are Pizzaguy? Come, sit here with us...."
If you weren't around for the "hope" disaster (and it has nothing to do with who is in the White House) - you missed the drama of the decade here. Wish I'd missed it.
If you find yourself to be a third wheel, come look me up - I'm gonna arrive this spring wearing a cheerleader outfit and motorcycle helmet.
...while we watch Nick parade around in pasties. I can't wait!!!

( I can put the spare TB in, but doubt if anyone would need that .... )
HINT: I keep the spare belt by the driver side fuse box with a tie wrap on it.

I'm glad this come up again I need to put me a kit together ,just makes good sense I believe it was james1549 that has a discription of a nice kit he put together ,

Brake fluid would be a good idea since they don't carry ours anywhere near Fontana. Jason was looking a few years back and this was an issue.
I carry a general bail out bag in my car. Jumper cables, sensor safe (ha ha) fix a flat x 2, zip ties, duct tape, gloves, signaling device, flashlight, safely triangle, tools, travel blanket, etc. All that fits under the top in the roadster in a nice case. I will have to remember to switch it to the SRT for the Dragon.

That sounds like what mydad used to pack everytime we took the 135 mile trip to Grandma's house back in 1950. The old '41 Pontiac never, ever made it without something breaking down.
We have come so far.
I'm making this trip to have fun so all I am packing for such mechanical emergencies is my VISA.

We always have big tables for dinner so everyone can eat together - I call it XF family style!
I hope you have a great time at this Dragon. We have a smaller group in the Spring but we have a great time. In a couple weeks we will all be sitting around trading tales and sharing fried pickles while we watch Nick parade around in pasties. I can't wait!!!

I'm turning 65 this Friday. That makes me old, foolish, no longer responsible, and willing to do anything.
Ya'll best be prepared.
