Yup, that was the plan all along, I had a little ace in the hole JIC though and I actually did need him
For the last few weeks I've been pissing and moaning about not getting parts in time and have been leading people to believe that I wasn't taking the FC, when in fact, I knew I was going to.... 2gslse even said something to the effect of, you lied to us, you said you were going to the airport in the Jeep to pick your buddy up. That was actually the truth, I just said it in a way that would lead everyone to believe that we were leaving right after that.... so yeah, got you all!!!!! Then, Thursday morning she was outside idling away ready to go whe we realized that my e-fan had puked. I was like, screw this, we're going anyway, lets go get Colin and leave. But his ride wasn't done and he needed me to weld some stuff so we hung around and got his car rolling, I replaced the E-fan, rebled and adjusted the brakes, and we left on our 21hr journey
Ironic thing is, if we HAD left, we would've been stuck in all that tornado traffic and I would've been screwed with no e-fan so I guess it was a good thing we left late?
All I kow is I can't wait to go back.
And yeah, now that the surprise is over with, I'll update the thread with all the pics I took of things that I did that I didn't tell anyone about
