The thunder last night set off my neighbors car alarm. Woke me up too (thunder, not alarm). It looks like it wants to do something tonight too (at least based on peering outside).

Different areas got different weather. We got a loud show with plenty of lighting. One bass note hit so hard it set off my baby's alarm

Im not bailing, rain or shine.. but I may have to bail on making the MINI cookies. If it doesnt cool down this evening, I really dont want to make the house hot by turning on the oven. AC is still down, and will be til thursday. Is there anything else I could bring? something I could pick up at the store on the way over?

Of course, today would HAVE to be the day it actually rained. I understand if noone wants to come out.
Someone is not being very nice to me. Why does this always happen? Oh well.
We will still be out there if any of yall want to come over. Probably won't have too much sun, but we can always reschudle for letting the cameras do do some flashing, but I'm always up for hanging out with friends!

On radar it looks like the worst of whats here now will be gone in a hour or so. Of course new cells may form. One of my favorite pics of my car was taken in the rain. I'll check back and see what the consensus is, but I'm game for face time with friends.

Well I'm still making Rice Crispy Treats! If have to eat them all myself, oh well! But I have a feeling that others will still come out and play in the rain...And anyway, if you are helping with the sway bar, we have a garage! At least it won't be TOOOOO hot?!!!

There were a couple folks earlier in the thread that said they had done it and were willing, hopefully one of those with knowledge is still coming? I'll be there with the tools they need! I'm happy to help, but don't know 'how it's done'.

Wow Mark! I have never seen your car's top up. lol Mark W and I did my sway bar and I helped (a bit) but I don't like the whole part where you have to push the subframe back up.

It doesn't happen often! But today you'll likely get another chance!

Don't forget MINIs by the Bay I. You had it up then, of course it was something like 100 degrees out, but I had my windows down and sunroof open the whole time. I probably didn't smell too good either.

Took about 190 pictures, still uploading them. Once I go through them, I will create an album in my photobucket gallery. Pics are mostly of the cars. Hopefully next time the weather will hold off a little longer and we can set up some owner portrait shots as well?!

I had a blast, hope you like the pictures!

Ok, and this is really sad. We JUST got home!!! And we didn't leave too much after you Sally! EVERY road was washed out. Even hit a flash flood. Thank GAWD we wern't the STUPID car stuck in it!! What a dummie! So we had to turn around about three times and re route....
But anyway, we had so much fun! What a great time to just hang out with friends! I am glad you guys came over. Hopefully next time it will be drier and we can put those good tools to use!
I can't wait either for the results Sally-ratzi!! 190!!! WOW just doesn't say it enough! You sure do take lots of pics!! I'm sure they are awsome!!
See yall on the 4th!
