Total ice cream stops = 1 (potentially 2)

The day will consist of a relaxed cruise to visit some of New England's finest covered bridges. We will all meet at 9:00am at the Mobil Gas Station on Rt 114 in Bedford, NH. Departing time is 9:30am. Folks who need gas are in luck and those who need to grab breakfast, there is also a Dunkin Donuts in the Mobil Station.

I'll see you guys bright and early tomorrow AM! Trying to wash and clean her up tonight before it get's too late.
I'll be the tall blonde girl (and most likely very tired) in the Velocity Red 8
I am bringing my boyfriend with me, Jeff. Looking forward to meeting you guys!

So looking at the maps (coming from worcester, MA) - it looks like I take route 3 and then 114 (north or west bound). The mobil station should be pretty obvious to spot on 114 ?

I am sure he would LOVE a turbo RX-8, but we have just been through car hell with him. So he won't be purchasing anytime soon! Plus I think we'd kill each other if we had the same car! There would be a fight every other week about who saw what new part first and why one can have that and the other can't lol.
He just downgraded from his 350Z to save some $, hates the car he has, and is trying to get back into a Z. Thanks for the thought though lol. (please please please please don't tell him about that car tomorrow lol. I'll hear it all the way home!)

Didn't get a chance to wash up the 8 tonite 
Gonna get up early tomorrow am and wash her up before heading over to the Mobil station. We'll park off to the right of the pumps as there are parking spaces.
If you need to top off (highly recommended), please do so before we depart at 9:30am.
See everyone in the am!

You gotta start using manaul mode and see if you gas mileage changes. Heck even if I redline every shift I couldn't get your gas mileage! Sorry I had too!

He HATES it. There would be war either way between us if he got an 8 or another Z I am sure. Both of us are wicked competative with our cars.

Washed my car tonight, wiped-down with Zaino Z8 on paint & wheels, shined tires with NXT Insane Shine wiped-on w/ foam pad, and applied Zaino Z-10 leather conditioner to the only 2 pieces of leather in my otherwise cloth interior.
My hands smell like leather now.

Wow, Clav!! That's really awful mileage!!! There's gotta be something up with that!
Just to make sure everyone looks for the right route, it is Rte. 3 to 114, NOT 144. (I don't know if NH even has a 144, but I waned to clear that up. Don't want anyone missing the exit looking for the wrong route.)
I will be able to meet up with everyone in the morning after all. Will be flying solo, Giles (hubby) got hit with a project Friday that is due Monday. He's not happy. Michael (son) got invited to a friend's house, and he doesn't particularly get excited about driving around seeing covered bridges. More room for the camera and Diet Cokes!!!
See you all in the AM!
