If you guys are interested in going on a 400mile round trip country road tour tomorrow (Sunday) let me know.

You don't have to drive fast on these tours...There is a leaders for each group (slower, intermediate and spirited) and you can chose which group you'd feel most comfortable following. These are some great roads with some sweet view and your car will thank you for taking her out on a date.

Gas is cheap right now...have fun while it the prices last.

You should be able to be home by 5m no problem if you just head home at the end of the tour. Some of us hang around and eat lunch, BS a little and sometimes drive wild on the dirt track and then head back and with all that we still get back around 6pm.

I'll send you a PM with more info.

Anyone else interested

i know man... but that wasn't hard water on my car, that was the clear coat cracking and i found a big scuff in their paint job so they are repainting that piece and blending the back bumper so it isn't off like that and they are fixing the cd player they got crap in and the seal on the door they messed up. i had to drop it off so they could take care of it. maybe someday i'll be able to make it out on a tour with ya, i want to and there are some amazing cars that go with ya that i wouldn't mind ridin along with

Not yet but I have been in contact with them and may be bringing mine up there to get tuned next weekend as long as work doesn't blow up.

I have never been there personally, but they are one of the only shops with HPT. and they are AMAZING tuners. You will not be disappointed bringing your car there

yeah, the drive was a lil harder than i expected because of the random ice patches and the heavy fog, i was okay with the sleet/snow/rain. i'm happy i went home when i did cuz i got plenty of good sleep that night but i wanted to stay and get trashed too

i don't blame ya for doin that man, i myself am pissed that you got screwed like that. if ya need help with anything else or somethin just let me know, i don't mind drivin down there at all to help out and when you head to kc for everything let me know, as long as i've got the time and money i'll def tag along

well i emailed the guys at db performance and they said it would cost me "$450 for the license and a custom dyno tune on a supercharged Cobalt or Saturn ION"
sounds spendy but thats the first place i asked. is there anyone or anywhere else i should consider?

Ouch. I have heard wonderful things about them but for that price, I would spend the little more (and I did this myself) and buy hp tuners pro and do the research on tuning yourself. This way you can retune yourself when you add more parts.
