I am currently fighting a possible head gasket leak (appears to be coolant 
weeping from the edge of the head, replaced stuck thermostat on Friday.) 
But I will still be making the trip (tempting the Audi Gods), because I want 
to be there with all of the kindred spirits from around North America.  The 
leak can wait until I put 2400 more miles on her. They won't be the grueling 
miles that I drive daily in Orlando, with its 117 F blacktop roads.
 These cars were made to driven!  So I intend to do just that.....

See you guys at UPG!

-Justin

I decided if I'm going to take 4 days off from work, leave my wife and 6
month old for 6 days, and spend 4 complete days out of 6 covering 4000
miles, I was damn well going to be comfortable.  No sense in missing work
and family and spending $500 in gas to be miserable with windows down at
90mph or windows up and 100 degree cabin temps....

but its going to be a great time I think.

Oh yeah - and wear and tear - hey these things were made to be driven and
I'm not saving my car for anybody - I'm going to use it up.

Bill it would take a lot more than you giving me a hard time to hate - I can
take it (all in good fun)
