Count me in. The last two were not only fun, but challenging for both driver and car!

It might have been when I backed it around that first corner. I'm not sure exactly what the deal was, I'm sure it had nothing to do with the drive but first the passenger latch failed, then the drivers latch. Weird.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Have yet to do any type of meet and greet with my new car. I have an '06 Boxster. As of right now, should be there!

Well, I just got back from a PCA event and it looks like we should have a good number of our local PCA showing up - seems that covered bridges are popular.

Okay - I have a first draft of the covered bridge tour... it's pretty rough right now and needs some work, but the hard part is done.

The next step is to drive it and fix all the problems that I already see.

If all goes well and all the bridges are open we'll manage to cover 10 of the 12 bridges. I'm not expecting all of them to be open, so I'll be happy if we get 7 or 8 in the final draft of the tour.

I've posted this event on FerrariChat.com. Although the guys who hang out on this website seem to prefer showing their cars rather than driving them, I'm hopeful that one or two will dare to participate in this event.
