If I see it again, I will try to get a picture.

I was driving up to my boyfriend's , he lives in the hills so they highway is curvy and steep as far as the hill goes there is a 10% grade.

I saw a gold gt coming towards me. As it gets closer, I am wondering why the vehicle behind it is so close, surely there must be a truck behind this gt, as I can see some sort of enclosed trailer behind it. There are trailers here right now for pulling bikes, nothing uncommon. But usually, they are pulled by cautious trucks.. Not this one. A 12 foot enclosed trailer was being pulled my a grand prix gt coupe. I felt so bad for the prix, it looked like it was quite weighted down.. With several bikes on board, making that drive. Probably from a good distance away too. Damn. Don't do that with your prixs!

LOL...especially in the dead of summer...trans temps are prolly well over 230* F, prolly to the point where the fluid starts to break down....not sure what temp that is though, i can't remember....does someone know/remember at what temps the different things in the tranny start to fail?

I heard that there won't be near as many bikers this year...and about 150 less venders because of the 150th harley davidson anniversary party in Milwaukee.

that's not true at all. i am pretty sure the vendors are the same, or close to it. the biker numbers are a little lower, but not much. people are just all sorts of worried about it.. this is still the time of year when we make money, and we're still making money. the numbers are barely down from what i've seen..

Ok, that's not bad. Wait til you see a MB GTP hauling a huge ass bassboat. THAT's dumb. Exhaust would scrape at the tiniest bumps...
