Hey guys. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm underway during all your dates save the last one.

Megan, I'm right there with you the whole drive thing. my backyard is butted up along the Warwick river (i.e. Ft. Eustis) so it takes me the same time to get to Va. Beach as it does Richmond. :P You're no longer the only one calling the peninsula home.

If you guys say the NC loop is fun, i'm down. I'll pray for inclement weather for the 11th.

Colonial parkway is nice, the nickel/dime loop is pretty leisurely (Rt.10 to the ferry, Rt. 5 back) with some long sweepers and light traffic. not too much twisty stuff around here.

I voted for the 4 but the 11 is fine with me.

What are the plans for when everyone gets to the OBX? Obviously there are a bunch of good restaurants here to meet up at for lunch. There is also the bodie island lighthouse which is a good spot for a photo op, there are also a bunch of good spots on highway 12 heading towards hatteras. If you need help planing anything feel free to shoot me a PM. Also, a friend of mine here with 2 MKIV supras might join in as well if that's ok?

Yea man the more the merrier! One of my favorite cars of all time is the MKIV Supra so don't mind me if I'm

all over his car.

I'm really leaving the photo spots/eateries up to you NC/OBX guys...We'll get it figured out here soon.

Yeah I was wondering since you said underway. Wasn't sure how many Navy guys were stationed on Eustis though.

What exhausts does everyone have on their car that is coming? I'm in the market for one and hope to hear a few different ones at this meet before I buy one.

You'll be able to hear an Autobahn Exotics exhaust and BMW Performance Exhaust. Other than that, idk what the other 335 guys got. The M guys got some exhausts as well. Guess it depends on what your driving...

I'm not stationed at Ft. Eustis. I'm not sure if billets even exist for the army base, i just know i like to live as far as practical from squid-ville (i.e. around base or Va. Beach in general)
