Re: You all talk about camaraderie, yet no one shows up???????

I'm really sorry to disappoint you by not showing up, but I think I have
a pretty good excuse.  My baby is in the shop getting reconstructive
surgery on her passenger-side frontal area.  I would've felt extremely
out of place showing up in a late model Saab to a Audi picnic.  At least
give me points for showing up at the autocrosses!  Hey, it's not easy
parading around and showing off your pride and joy to other enthusiasts
when it's got a lot of impact damage to the front.  Once again, I'm
sorry.  Next event, I'll be there.  Promise.
