Good time today guys!!!

Turnout was grest, I didn't expect that many of us to be honest. Next time I'll make sure I have enough gas so we don't all have to stop.

Jeff, sorry man we had to pull off. Rt 282 was calling me. I think the other too enjoyed it as well.

Can't wait to do it again. Maybe the Pagoda or some other route, either way I'm sure it will be a blast like today was.

So, for anyone that drove in that hurricane style storm last night, I hope you made it out ok. I ended up sliding out the Fusion avoiding someone who was hydro planing, car became RWD for a moment. I'm guessing what happened is when I tried to not abruptly swerve out of the way, the front tires gripped oddly and the rears just started to ride on water. Did a full 360, hit a puddle sideways, water EVERYWHERE horrible sound thought I was headed off the road. Miraculously though, I regained control and got her straight while still rolling. My steering feels like *** now and there's a slight vibration in the ride at speed and when I turn, I just want to get rid of this car! Some others were not as fortunate as I saw on my drive.

I decided to start a new thread for the cruise today. The pics and such get lost in this monstrosity of a thread. Maybe you can move these pics over there?

There were some flooded creeks I had to drive thru, but not bad. Most of the weather action had cleared out by the time the clubs closed in West Chester.
