Great seeing you too “Hotrodz” :rofl2:

:icon18:
That was an inside joke; you would have had to been there :icon17:

Gonna grab a cup of coffee from the lobby & pack some bags before breakfast :ugh2:

:hello: Good Morning Folks; last one this year from Fontana Village

Ugh... got to head back home today....

But on the good side it is only 3 hrs home... :tiphat:

Nice to meet you guys also. Congrats on the wife’s trophy in the show as well

Be safe

Her G always wins a trophy :tup:

Awsome

Always loved orange !

Mr. Old guy looks like your name is a misnomer as your the youngest looking among those old farts!

712 miles with a blown csc. Had enough clutch to get in 6th 4 times, the last 200~ miles had to leave it in 5th. Home safe and sound, just need to shove it in the garage and unpack.

Glad you got it home

We're home. Z is unpacked. Starting to unwind. Pic's once I get caught up on stuff.

Lol that's more vent than hood!

That's Bryan's Z. He runs the ZDayZ show. I've never seen it run. :icon14: It's mostly a track rat. :driving:

ZdayZ reflections from the Spoiler
——————————————

First off, I guess I need to finally just come clean on here. I realize that sometimes I slightly exaggerate the truth, occasionally fabricate a fact and I have even out and out lied if absolutely needed at the time. Then again, I have blatantly bullshitted about stuff or I have slightly skewed a scenario just for a storyline.

Given that preamble, here is what I thought of ZdayZ:

What a weekend!!! :tup:

Amazing!!!

Yeah, of course it was a great scenic venue, a fun and challenging driving area and with lots of sweet Z cars, what else do you really need?

Well, I got to meet so many of the amazing people on here, that I probably never would have otherwise and that is what made it great.

From this forum, I met in person...
JC
Rusty and his better half
Old Guy
FPenvy
Hotrodz
-ZS-Carpenter and his better half
Leadfooted
Memphis370
Zoren, who I had actually previously met
Elmo370Z
Bullitt5897

(And maybe even others that I have left off. If so, please forgive me)

What a GREAT group of individuals. Truly likable characters. I did not get to speak to everyone as much as I would have liked to, but having the chance to meet each of them was really nice.

Some good times were had as well as quite a few laughs. I truly would not have missed this for the world.

Being able to stay at Fontanna Village instead of having to drive back to Cherokee was a blessing as well. Thank you, Spooler for making that happen. Thanks to JC as well for helping to accomodate that for my wife and I.

What else can I say... I can’t wait until next year...

Sincerely,

Spoiler

:tiphat:

Clarification... a fair portion of the above was exaggerated, fabricated or just lies and BS. I do know at least some of that may have been skewed. You can decide which part. :rofl2:

:iagree:
Same here & glad I was able to meet up with you & some other Forum members :tup:
I won’t forget when you was on the lookout for Frank :rofl2:
Everyone that had a similar description given by Rusty & myself was a potential Frank :icon17:
Glad he showed up when he did :tup:

Fontanna called and said that JC will be banned from the buffet next year... :icon17:

The description I gave of Frank. "He looks like a young Castro with a natty beard."

My wifey description of Frank. "Oh....the guy with pubic hair on his face....."
:rofl2:

That's his 3rd helping. :eek:

The real question is... WHOSE pubic hair is it? :nutswinger:

About ZDayZ. :tup:

Wifey and I had a blast at ZDayZ. :tup:

Made our reservations for next at village when we left. :tup:

Don't know how Spoiler's wifey puts up with him. :facepalm: The guy is a walking embarrassment. :owned:

Felt really bad when ZS lost his CSC on the cruise. :( It was great when his wifey got 2nd place in the car show. :tup:

Hotrodz. My brother from another mother. Love you brother. :tup: Will see you when we come out in July. :tup:

JC. It's always good seeing you. Hopefully, you get a nice surprise and an end to you drama. :tup: :driving:

Zoren, I'm always on the lookout for that man. With him around. I got my butt cheeks duct taped shut. :eek:

Mark (white370Z) needs to post more. :shakes head: He has put together a very nice Z. :tup:

Old Guy. Wish you could have stayed longer and closer to the village. Hopefully, you can do that next year. :tup:

Elmo, wish I could have talked to you more.

The same with Memphis370. You was in and out.

Reconnected with lots of old friends that's not on this forum. Like Tony and Jeana who won the $2,500 raffle for a paint job. When they called their name out. Jeana jumped and pee'd herself. :rofl2:

FPenis won something , but wasn't there to claim it. So.......they rippped it. :rofl2:

AND the rest of you guys who didn't show up. Yinz missed a great time.

Sad it's over already but some of the most notable parts for me were

I did my shots of tequila as a virgin

Won a door prize and some Z1 intakes at the deck party.

Had some rodent wake me up at 3am trying to get into our hamburger buns but could never find it.

Rode the dragon, got stuck behind arsehole bikers who refused to move over going 10 mph into turns for 4 miles.

The time bomb that is my gf trying not to throw up on the way back from the dragon because of all the curves. We took the dam route which drops you up top of Fontana (she didn't do the dragon with me). :roflpuke2:

Rode the Z taxi system everywhere packed full of at least 5 people and one time we had 8 in/on one Z.

And we brought home first place for our group :bowrofl:

I should of entered the car show, I may have placed in the mild Z category. Plus is was like 1 of 2 black cherry Z's there :/

I ALMOST FORGOT! The fantastic wifi only barely working everywhere except the restaurant area where it mostly worked.

Pretty good summary, but I kinda disagree with one of those points a bit... :shakes head:

About Zoren and the duct tape? I'll keep my cheeks taped. Thank you very much.

Well.................he is a dickhead......................

I am not happy at all that I didn't get to go. I will be calling this week to make my reservations for next year.

Should something happen... first dibs on your room for next year...:icon17:

One funny thing that did happen was on the day we got there.

Thursday at about 5 or so, getting off of the elevator and as the doors slide open, there is this big guy standing there, and I asked him if he worked there and where the room number was at. Before he could answer, I asked him if he could get our bags into the room for us.

He didn't know who I was, but I recognized him as JC. When I asked him where they keep the bacon at, he finally knew it was me.. LOL

:icon17:

Had a great time and met some great folks and good conversation...my 4th visit to ZDayZ. Great to see people I conversated with over the years...very good stuff. I stayed in Andrews N.C. 40 miles away...I'll NEVER DO THAT AGAIN !!! My agent sux..it was a decent hotel...he says , oh it's only a few miles down the road, ok I'll take it ! Should have went online and mapped it out....silly me. I thought I was in the twilight zone or something....1,800 population and a movie theater that was...ummmmmm, unlike anything I'm used too. They did have a Mexican restaurant and McDonalds...which I don't eat unless in a pinch. Downtown was like something out of the 50's...with me in a 17 pearl white Nismo rolling thru town I was sure I'd be stopped as I stuck out like a sore thumb. I look forward to next year and hopefully I stay a little closer like previous years. I had enough of Andrews..lol

At least Im happy that I got a free meal courtesy of your good kindness.

First dibs with the dinner ticket..,If lady luck would not make her way to you next year!

Just kidding hopefully everything turns out well and get to see you next year.
I have a special surgical glove just for you!

Did you mean his penis got ripped off?

The one with a hole in the R middle finger!

Just did my reservation for next year. All set.

Oh, I've been there... You're description is spot on!

If you can't get in the village I got a spot 19 miles(25-30 min depending on pace) away in Robbinsville that is not the shithole comfort inn but about the same price.
