Whew, talk about a fun drive to work. I love snow plow drivers who angle their blade the wrong way (to the left) and throw snow/ice/rocks at your car as you pass by going the opposite direction.

It's been a rough week for the Evo. I'm half tempted to hide it away somewhere for fear something bad is bound to happen to her!

Hey been meaning to ask this,

Anyone here ever been down to or wanted to go down to the Tail of the Dragon aka Deals Gap in North Carolina/Tennessee? I ask because I'm going to be going down somewhere in the time frame of May/June with a bunch of VW .:R32's and Skylines (R32/R33/R34 and maybe a new GTR or two) from all over the country. As of right now there is suppose to be over 100 between the two.

I was a long time member in the VW community and still am. Hence why I'm going. Also my buddy Ben owns two .:R's, one being a HPA Twin Turbo stage II/III making over 500awhp. It should be a good time. The R and GTR guys are all pretty cool. Should be a some pretty sick cars there. And I was hoping to get some Evo's and maybe even a few STi's in the mix.

Either way I'm going. If there is any interest I'm going to start a thread for it.

Some info on the Tail of the Dragon/Deals Gap:

Killboy.com <-- this guy takes some pretty sweet pics of the cars on the Dragon, plus he is a fellow Evo owner.

I've always wanted to go to the Gap. I was suppose to during the summer when I drove cross country but towing a trailer with the Evo changed that. So now I'm going.

I dunno, how do you remove an inch of sleet? You can only salt the roads so much.
