Just some foreplay ... (need some time to do it)
Here is a leaving G Force shot and a night shot of it's new home, when I rolled in.

Congrats.. glad to see it home safe with some everlasting memories.

That is way cool. I enjoyed reading this thread. Congrats on getting the car, and getting home safe and sound. :thumbsup:

Foreplay is good!! But not in this case!!!!:lol:
Anyway, congrats man, what a blast that must have been. Really cool.

We left around 6:30PM and drove for about 25 hours almost non-stop, quick fuel stops and thats about it. One point we stopped for about 1/2 hour when an idiot light under the dash came on. We went over the entire car and could not find any issues. Phoned Jason and got word... don't worry about it.

Somewhere just passed Chicago after driving the morning rush hour.

Our first stop for some sleep was in St Cloud, Minnesota the first major city we hit after driving evening rush hour through Minneapolis. (that is a whole story on it's own)

I woke up at about 5:00am to the sound of a car alarm, I panicked, yelled car alarm, two of us bolt up speed dress, and sprint 8 floors down the stairs, up 4 floors into the car park. About the 3rd floor of the car park (about to have a jammer) I realized it was not my car the key fob in my hand was not even going off! That was a rude awaking from a late night out on the town in St Cloud. Up so early we ate a nice breakfast went and bought some car cleaning gear and gave it a wash and hit the road.

We had planed on driving long as the road in Montana long and fast with enough turns to be exciting.

However once night hit the amount of deer on the road was crazy, we passed 4 dead on the road and at least 100 alive.... it was very nerve racking! The brakes are amazing and had too many tests in this zone, we had to pull over. What ever the next town was we were stopping. As we pull into Wolf Point I see out of the corner of my eye, Welcome to Montanas Largest Indian Reservation!!!
Oh my god, it was interesting to say the least. ( again another whole story)
Filled up Fuel, asked where the Hyatt was and raced away to lose the crowds of people, the wild wild west. We checked out all the hotels. In the back of the best choice of the three hotels, we ran into some out of town workers and they said the car would be perfectly safe. Off to the Casino...

Up earlyish and away we go. We hit some of the highest speeds on this section of the trip, clear, empty, straight police free roads. I had Fuel holding about 135 mph for about 15 minutes just hummed along like it was nothing. When we pulled over for the next gas, smoke was pouring out of the engine bay, that was a bad feeling! The drivers side valve cover had come loose. Tightened it up and we took off again, headed for the border.
