First Maverick act of 2010

I walked past my car yesterday.

 

I drove mine to work. I will see you all in Joplin again. I'll have my car there if i have to trailor it

 

As Craig said there was...but I didnt know anything about them.

I was born in Chesapeake and lived in the Norfolk area for 21 years

Thats a good idea.

Thanks Craig, I'll check it out :Handshake...maybe once I get my car looking halfway decent Ill become a member...

 

We drove to Dulles, Virginia for the first Roundup there. We went to the Gathering in Elizabethtown, Ky., then on to Virginia. BTW, my brother lives in Va. Beach. He moved there from Chesapeake. My mom lived there before she passed on also. I also went to the Fun Ford Weekend in Va. Motorsports Park. Once you go to these you'll be hooked on going each year. My Granddaughters ask every year if we're going again next year. Bring the family.

 

My wife could care less about the "ugly cars" but my kids love them to death, I guess thats my ticket to going to one next year...."Ill take the kids if you let me go"

 

If you bring the wife to the Gathering she'll have plenty to do. We go out to dinner, swim at the pool, have a BBQ and car show held at a park with games for the kids. There are cruises to a number of family and educational places. Last year we went to the George Washington Carver museum. The kids had a class on making milk out of peanuts. We also went to Big Brutus. We also went to the Joplin mining museum and a cruise to Route 66 in Galena, Kansas. Also there was a cruise to Darryl Starbirds Rod and Custom Museum. There's also a number of other things in the area. It's a great time and family fun.

 

I just called the motel in Hannibal. They refused to lower the rates for Tuesday night so I told them we'd be checking in on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. We'll spend the extra day in Joplin and save about $40. I know I'm cheap.

 

Hopefully I can get my car going by then.. I am just up the road at Whiteman afb!

 

My first act this year was to sit in the back seat of the Comet with a 24 and not leave till i finish it. Burp,........

My second act will be to attend the 2ND Annual Mav-Com Breakfast today in Oakville, of course i'll be staggering into Denny's after last nights drinking binge. I figure i can do at least 5 burgers before i pass out.



That's about it.

 

I finally got around to making my reservations for the MCG Gathering in Joplin. MO. Planning on arriving Wednesday afternoon.

Only 160 days to go! :bananaman

 

Man all these Chesapeake, VA connections and I thought I was all alone out here, born and raised here and have a restoration business here..........

 

Im going to bust my arse and push the car if need be, but joplin is only like an hour or two away from me... and ill be bringing the stock wheels from my mav up there

and i dont expect to come back home with them

 

cjtorinoman, Wish I knew that before as I was back in Chesapeake a number of times before my Mom passed away. My brother lives in Va. Beach.
JesTer, Even if your car isn't finished bring it as it is. Lots of fun.
