Congratulations. What does being on the front line entail?

Parking! Lol

(I assumed (i know) that there will be enough cars to have more than one row there from our club...i have a guaranteed front row prime spot so that everybody who shows up will see it as they come into the lot)!
But we'll see

i'm sure it wont be anything like i thought it would/should be.

So on Sunday I expect a lazy day. I am reminded of a sales tax obligation due the state at the end of the month so I drive to work to pick up some sales figures.

Sunday with perfect weather sounds like a good day for a drive, but that is how it sounds to hundreds of others too. Luckily at this hour, everybody is going the opposite way. Cool beans.

I am so pleasantly surprised to have an open road. A couple of bikes screwed me up a bit but hey, I'll take the drive I just got any day. Some other sports cars were going the opposite direction in first gear, while I flew past. Poor bastards.

I got to work, picked up a tiny bit of paperwork and was off like a shot.

I even had a partially decent drive home. I expected nothing but still had a few miles open up.

When the kitchen sink needed to be repaired later in the afternoon, I was in bumper to bumper traffic the entire way but nowhere near as much traffic.

I found out why the roads are so much less impacted. It is the government shut down. There are two National parks along the road I live. Instead of having the parking lot open or the two toll takers, they hired armed guards to keep Americans out, while laying off the regular two employees.

This is punishment for us all but I must confess I am ahead as the roads have a small fraction of the cars upon them.

here my "front line" parking...I am about 5 cars down from the left.
I was supposed to park right next to the green lotus but they were unloading a truck when I got there so I took the next available space and the EVO ended up in my spot. it was OK though, I like the EVO driver! he's cool!
it was pretty funny too-the Z garnered very little attention- everybody loved the EVOs and subies and the Lotus :P

What kind of wierdos do they have out in Ohio. I am in California which I thought was the wierdo capital, but I'm not so sure anymore.
