I'm Home! - CEG Archives

I parked the car in the driveway at 00:52 this morning (Sunday)! 5168.05 miles round trip.

My Check Engine light was on for most of the trip (O2 sensor issue), and at various times, my Air Bag light and my ABS light came on too. I had to retighten the front strut nuts (need to order the Pole120-designed strut caps) on the way home, as they had loosened-up yet again. Also, someone in a Crown Vic nosed out of a parking lot right in front of me yesterday, and I had to swerve to miss hitting them! On the bright side, I slept in motels every night on the way home!

It was great meeting everyone at Spring Zing! I had a great time partying, talking cars and everything else. Thanks to everyone who put it together and made it happen!

I'll post some pictures of the trip to and from SZ when I sort through the 1430+ pictures I took!

Marty

Are you making the trip next year ???

Glad to hear you made it home safe Marty. You are truly a hardcore CEGer!

Can't wait to see pics.

Thanks for coming Marty!

Good to hear you're back safe and with no mechanical issues. I don't think I have taken that many pictures in my entire life. I intend to drive around the country at some point...we'll see if it ever happens.

I saw you and your car but didn't meet you. Glad to see someone else on here get's the whiteline fever too and that you made it home ok.

wow what a trip! it is great to hear that you made it back safely. you are easily the most dedicated CEGer that i have ever seen, an inspiration to the rest of us. cant wait to see the pics.

Groovenerd. You should just get a free website and put them all up there. All 1400 of them!!! Except my beer belly!!

It was great meeting you the first night. You walked into our room about 3:00 in the morning with this "I've been on Ecstasy for 3 days and haven't slept look". I guess that can happen after driving 2200+ miles! Thanks for the dedication. See You next year in GR!

Marty those pics are gonna be awesome, anywho glad you made it back alright. It was def. great seeing at SZ and the fact that you drove all the way was def. somthing special! Get those pics up ASAP!

Well Im glad I didnt go now. The gas card was my only motivation! I wouldnt have gotten ish this year

I kid, I kid

You really are the official CEG road tripper. I havent seen anyone with such dedication, and thats coming from the past long distance champ. Looks like Ive passed the torch to a worthy CEGer.

Cant wait for pics!

BTW, Im totally full of sh!t, LOL.

Marty, it was a real pleasure to meet you, and I hope you have the courage to make the trip again next year. Also, thank you very much for the beer; you were a total lifesaver that night!

haha i dont think he's comming next year as I remember him telling us that he has a family reunion next year that he'll need time off for. But who cares, the fact that we all know Marty the dude from Oregon is good enough

Nice meeting you Marty, hope you make it out next year
