I was disappointed with MOD this year. I drove into AMS thinking there was gonna be a lot of Evo's leaving from there and there was like 6 or something. But I did get to stretch her legs on the way to Bloomington. That was kinda fun. Then I went home and rested for a while. On my way to Wisconsin where I was meeting some friends afterwards I had a blowout. The tread came completely seperated from the sidewalls.

omg tyler... hopefully no big damage was done. maybe that'll teach you not to be go as fast as you were... naw it was fun though.

i agree that this years convoy kinda sucked, i was hoping for soo much bigger and better, sorta a disappointment. i think all the rain really put a downer on things, because some people just dont like bringing there cars out in bad weather.

btw did you ever get that one pic of you when you were going in and out of cones, the one that guy took of you? i wanna see it. haha..

woohoo there.. what harm is it if some of us had a lil fun? its not like it really got outta hand, no one got hurt, and personally all the drivers that did drive a lil over the speed limit did that on there own free will. we never forced anyone to drive like that. yeah i'll admit i had some fun, but its not like things didn't get outta hand in MOD 05' convoy too. because if you recall some of the leaders were driving crazy fast too.

thats freaking sweet and awesome sarah. every year they are filming, and they always say they will give us a way to see it when its done, but i've never seen any of the "documentaries." if your evo got in there, you know its a good video already.

if i hear something i'll let you know.

So what if you got lucky this time? I don't see the sense in putting other people's lives at risk just to get a few kicks.

Just for record, I understand were you coming from. Yes someone could have gotten hurt, and maybe we did just get lucky this time. But like I said before no one was forced to do anything they didn't want to. If they didn't want to speed and mess around a bit they didn't have too.

You gotta understand that people will do want they want. Telling someone in better lack of words that their being stupid in your own opinion won't always change that persons actions. If anything majority of the time it makes that person what to rebel even more.

Plus I don't think anyone would have been driving that way if they didn't know how to handle their car that well. You do what you please and what makes you happy. Because I highly doubt any of us drive like that all the time. I know I don't personally.

You sound like my parents now and thats just a freaking downer.

There's a video of 06' here...

It looks like a hybrid of shots from both Cypress and Normal. I'm sure the 07 version will take awhile to go through production.

You can't make excuses. It's dangerous on public roads no matter how great your driving skills are.
Sometimes if your hear the same story from a bunch of different people, your start to second guess your original idea. So, I might not change anyone's mind by myself, but I'll contribute.
