Anyway, I'm going to be the first to drop out if it's this coming Sunday. Though the forecast is for a sunny day, low temperature of 25 and the high temperature is supposed to be 40, so during the hours of the show, it will likely be in the 20's to 30's. I can't handle that.

If this is going to be a club event, maybe a few pics of Fieros?

They just got through trenching around my garage for utilities, so getting out may be... interesting. If it rains down here, it's still a swamp, even before that.
Ralph, can you bring my stuff?
Do I owe anybody anything?

Thinking about trying to make it.

If I make it then yes. Had trouble starting it last time and haven’t had time to diagnose. I think your stuff is already paid for.... Charlie is that correct?
Also can you load up that throttle body for me Charlie? In case I do make it.

Should be. But I'll let Charlie verify.
Thanks Ralph. Hope we can both make it there.

Got insurance on the Silver Bullet this week, may try and get plates tomorrow. It is already fairly clean already.

We're doing a major remodel, to include a new utility room. We've been using the appliances that were here (old appliances - old utility room), up until the middle of the week, when the electrician swung the 220V dryer feed from the old room to the new. Which made getting the appliances that we moved from D-ville out of storage, and up and running, a matter of some urgency. This afternoon was my first real opportunity.
So yeah... Ten years accumulation of lint (truly frightening - lucky we didn't burn anything down), dryer pieces scattered all over the porch, and I ran out of daylight. So there ya' go. (I've had the dryer apart, before. Had to replace a thermal fuse, the last time it got full of lint. Just a process. Been a while.)

Just jump the safeties out. Safeties are for suckers. 😂 should have called me. I just did a utility room remodel. I’ve rebuilt lots of appliances too.
I saw your remodel pics, elsewhere. Quite a nice job. I think I even commented.
But I don't mind jumping into appliances, as long as there is no real time pressure. (Huh...)
I replaced the thermal fuse in the dryer, about ten years ago. I also replaced a motor shaft coupling in the washing machine, more recently. Also a one way "dog clutch" (or something like that) not too long before the coupling. Wondering what else is likely to break, in a 20+ year-old washer.
The only time we ever called Sears (under warranty/contract) there was a loose connection on a flat connector down near the front.
This is all Kenmore stuff (which is really the same as many other brands, I've noticed.) You probably know all this equipment, well. I, OTOH, learn as I go. Incredible, what you can find on youtube. Some of those folks are really good.

The big buildings and MARTA tracks in view tell you we're not in the 'burbs.
Charlie wanted a picture of a C8 engine bay.

I don't think V8Archie will ever get one of those into a Fiero.I'm sure it would fit in Paul Hosler's car, but then, it's only a Fiero skin deep.

I heard a guy say he got there at 415 and they had already coned off a huge number of spots, which technically is against the rules but there is no way to enforce. Thus we park in the same general section, but same actual spots is next to impossible. If your not there by 7, as cones are supposed to be pulled by then which everyone generally does by 715, your too late and every empty spot is taken up. Only the exotics and porsches can show up late because most of the time there are less of them than total allotted spots in their two parking areas, sometimes though the spots are full and you'll see a Ferrari mixed in with Honda's.

What stops people from parking there the night before?

Porsche has headquarters in Atlanta, their lot is huge. They pay for the lot.
It is the first place I go, free coffee and donuts.
The exotic lot is small, more used to show up but they have their own events all ove Atlanta, lots of money flashing going on in the ATL.
Not sure if they tow random cars away but they put up the barriers the Friday night before.
