Don't come to Alabama if you want cool temps. We got hot and humid as hell.

Sounds like the kind of vacations we like to take. My family loves amusement parks. Six Flags in NJ is nice. We did a short vacation there one year and also Hershey Park and Carowinds. We are talking about a vacation to Cedar Point next year. We've never been there and I've only heard good things about it.

I would really like to make it to Cedar Point at some point. I was really impressed with Busch Gardens in Virginia. It was fun and clean, not quite as hot, and really pretty. The kids and I would always leave and come back at night when things are less crowded and just ride and ride. For some reason its not much of a vacation without an amusement park visit,

I'd love to go to Cedar Point. The best time to go to an amusement park (around here) is in the fall, a few weeks before it closes for the winter. You get off, and run all the way back to the front just as it's pulling up from the previous ride. It's fun.

I'm a few hours drive from Busch Gardens in VA, but honestly haven't been there is about 20 years. Hershey Park is the cleanest park I've ever been to. It is pretty small in comparison to some parks and you really can do it in 1 day. Only 1 1/2 hours away, it's the closest park to us so we tend to go there every year. Sometimes we will take the camper and stay at the campground close by, plus they have transportation so the kids can just take the bus over if they want to go. Plus if you buy a one day ticket, they will let you in the night before (after a certain time) and you can still use your day pass for the next day. So we get most of our riding in the night before after most people go home and the lines aren't nearly as long. For me, it's a bonus to go at night. It's not as hot and it really is cool to ride the coasters at night with the lights on.

We are still debating if we want to tow the camper to Cedar Point when we go..........it's about a 7 hour drive for us.

Although I do have to say that the last 2 years we went to Aruba in the spring and I wasn't missing any amusement parks!

Cedar Point I've always wanted to go there!

We got the absolute perfect day for it yesterday, it was really really cloudy, and looked like it was going to rain the whole day, so noone was there, and it was nice and "cool"

Riding coasters at night is absolutely awesome!

Except when you're getting hit by bugs.

I had just finished my brake rotor, LCA, LCA relo bracket, Bullitt grille, MGW shifter install last night and all I could think to type before heading to the shower and bed was AAAAAWWWWWEEEE YYYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's done dude, it's freakin' done. I've put 'em all off for weeks until they stacked up on me and I needed the room in the garage so I had to install them.

BTW Steeda Billet LCA's don't fit so well into BMR relocation brackets.

But with a little ingenuity I managed to get 'em in.

I'm gonna wash her today and them some pics later this afternoon. This is my 3rd grille now. I've got the original and the CDC Elaenor grill, but I like this one the best. The satin aluminum edging goes well with my billet hood pins. I love it. My Mustang is now stripped of all exterior badging except for the trunk emblem. And its days are numbered.

OK finally got some pics, had to do my daughters pool party tonight, just got home.

New bullitt grille. No more pony, no more giant fog lights. I plan to get the SHR inserts for the opening under the plate when they become available. And I might do the Shelby lights to either side with the brake ducts when they are available.


After the wash....


the Steeda LCA's dripping wet....


time for nighty night...


My little Mustang and Camaro. Of course the Mustang is faster. Its lighter.

Thank you David.

Just moved on to page 8. Yes I know, I know way behind the god of posts and the founder Scott, and even behind Nathan and David, but hey I'm #238 overall and I haven't even been here a year. So.....

Who has the most posts? Not me!
