My video editing software crapped out on me so it may be a bit but I'll get it posted up when I can fix it. You just hear someone's tires screeching (not mine) as I come up on the rear of your Cousin's 350Z. I recall mine chirping a bit though at the end.

had a good time - the weather was great - got stuck a few too many times behind the slowpokes

the storm the night before left us with a surprise or two... and forget parking at the waterfront in annapolis - should have known that.

anyway - we enjoyed it, thanks for coming all

What did that redneck in the truck ask you? I assume he was asking why your brakes were squealing? lol

Oh you mean the guy who was talking to you at the stop light? I'm not sure if he asked me anything, I had my windows closed

I'm pretty sure those were Talha's tires screeching in the video. I know mine weren't, because I braked pretty smoothly and didn't hear anything.

Speaking of which, you should talk to him about that - if he's following so close to someone on a fast cruise, enough that when braking his only escape is into the left lane? Something is wrong...I held back from him the entire second half of the cruise because he was being far too aggressive.

Cruises are a lot of fun until someone gets into an accident, and he was honestly worrying me a bit. That tree could have been really, really bad.

Randy, many thanks for the planning and coordination. It takes someone who is willing and able and you certainly fit the bill. We all appreciate it. Had a great little cruise. Stopped at a small market on the way home and picked up some fresh picked white corn from Calvert County. Had it with dinner and it was awesome! Again, thanks!

That's just what you needed: your daughter all prettied up in front of us.

You're just looking for a justified cause to shoot us down, huh?

Here is the video showing the moments before we all came up on the tree. Not sure who's brakes it was that we hear in the video although mine chirped just a bit but not much. Not that we haven't seen downed trees in the road before!

RandyD · 06-24-2012, 04:04 PM

that tree was bad. nd the lack of walkie talkie meant no warning

Walkie talkies are a solid investment for cruising. Let me know next time you organize a cruise, Randy. Even if I don't go, you can borrow my two.

MightyBobo · 06-24-2012, 06:48 PM

So I forgot to ask - I'm going to assume everyone did what I did in Annapolis and said, "...f this, I'm outa here", right?

We found out that his tires were bad. Working on getting him some new ones and advised him not to drive his car as much as possible till he gets new ones. That and he has 4 different tires on his car. Told him he has to fix that sh1t ASAP!

That Prius was annoying! I know I wouldn't be driving my mom's Prius that slow, but I'd at least move out of the way if I saw that line of cars behind me
