2 1/2 hrs after we left we are home, and no we didnt get lost, the car broke. I have known that the R/T muffler was clamped in place for 2 years and was never motivated to fix it untill the clamp worked its way loose going down the turnpike, so yeah we drove about 20mi on the freeway with no muffler which was unpleasent.
How did everybody else do?

Blame it on the guys at the dyno?

Took an uncharted way back and almost ended up in a creek bed when a PA road decided it wanted to do a hairpin turn. 65mph plus hairpin turn almost equals a hydo soaked R/T

It's too bad I missed out, my neon is still sitting in my garage back home in NY, while im out here in Cali with my bikes. If this goes down next year, im def coming out. Trying to decide on if I want to keep the neon, since the buyer never ended up paying for it after I left for cali.... bastid

.
Sounds like you all had a great time tho!

I think it was PA 94 to US15 to PA116 to PA216 to PA851 (which is an awesome farm road minus almost deadly hairpin) to Keeny Mill Rd to Oakland Rd to Freeland Rd to Bentley Rd to MD45 to MD439 to MD23 to MD146 to MD152 to Trimble Rd to Home.

left at 1:30 and got back around 8:30

Hmm.... completely forgot to mention that you're missing a lug nut on one of your trailer wheels.... That's not what caused your problem, is it??? Where the hell did you deliver Dave's car to?

I made it back home. We left a Mechanicsburg diner around 9:30am, and I was able to sit in my computer chair for the first time in a quite a while, around 2:30pm. No problems with b00g3r at all. This car is proving to be pretty reliable. Buffalo to Cape Cod and back, then to Cleveland and back like 3 times, and now to Carlisle and back....I'd say I can trust it anywhere!
Hope everybody else made it back in 1 peice.

Dave's car got dropped off at the dollar store.
And what happened was is the passanger side fender the front weild broke and let the fender rest on top of the tire. We just unbolted the fender the rest of the way put it in the pimp and kept on rollin.

Did I mention I got 41mpg on the way back?
I made it from "the" hotel, to the other hotel in Mechanicsburg, to my house in Akron, NY on 3/4 tank of fuel. I filled up this morning, turning 300 miles, and it only took 7.4 gallons. Did the math, turned out to be 41mpg. Wow....not bad for a 3.94 on the expressways....

I really don't think I went over 80 the whole way back. Going up was a nightmare. Every few miles there was a highway patrolman and there were tons of people pulled over.
