I'll make this a short post. After the drive I'm hungry and sleepy.

End of Summer meet. Many showed up and some came to do a quick hello. The many familiar faces I met through out the whole driving experience. The spouses, wives, girlfriends, fiances whatever you may call it partner in crime, who sacrifice their time to let go of their drivers to go do these drives and being very supportive. I'm glad to have met them and I learned a lot of things. My first own sport car. First car club I've joined. First of many things. I got to see so many 86s modded in their individual ways. Every one of them looks unique and beautiful. The drivers are awesome people very passionate of their cars and got to share with them their secret roads and learning the ropes what it means to drive in a group. Terrific community and I'm proud to be apart of. The video Plato Mok made for the meet is epic. I enjoyed watching the past drives. Those were the most beautiful roads I've taken in my life. I wouldn't have known any of these canyon drives. I appreciate this car more and more as I learn more about the limits and mistakes I made (fun ones and sometimes dangerous ones) I feel this car spoils me. The other cars I drive feel like a floating boat rocking left and right and turning I have just don't feel it. It's dull. It didn't have character and I understand what my friend from New York explained to me about a car having character of its own. How a car can be alive and every little niche of problem good or bad is etched into this car and its own individual liveliness. It just place a smile upon my face as I drive each and every time. Oh yes, I want to give my thanks to those who donated at the meet CounterSpace Garage, massdrop, garthul (I probably spelled that name completely wrong or way off) Sheena, Derek-chu, Plato Mok, Buffalo Wild Wings, and whoever I may have forgotten. Thank you so much and I appreciate it. Whoop whoop I got myself a spoiler. hahaha. Later today we did a drive to Patterson. i had a hell of a time 14+ 86 give or take. The with its left and right and up and down hills and few blind spots takes this car to another level of driving free with nothing to stop you. I felt the roller-coaster drop feel. Oh yeah! Scenic view; the African Savannah tall golden grass as far as the eye can see on both sides. Eventually, you will see multiple large turbine fans in the distances. Then you arrive towards an electrical field flux generator. Definitely fun and I had one of them slips in the back in one of them turns keeping with hot lava man (I forgot his name already. Maybe it was Mike) After a good chit chat getting to know others more. Some left their separate ways and the rest went home the fun way down Patterson again. Different aspect of a drive. I got lost getting home after Patterson was done. I relied on my little to dead phone to lead the way home. I noticed another 86 following me I was waving good bye turns out it was Jacky and Valerie ( I hope I did get your name right ><) I made a wrong turn to the right and found out they're heading to SJ instead of SF. Followed them to 84 West. At first I was embracing the view cause I never have gone on it. I realized it was 84 East as we get closer towards 680. I was like oh yeah this is the road that goes to Livermore to Mine roads and Mt. Hamilton and such. I never stayed 84 East long enough I always made the right turn. I appreciate their help getting me on the right track. Overall, I enjoyed this community. Good to see fellow Sacramento coming down! It's the people that makes this one hell of experience for me. I would write more but I'm feeling really hungry and tired. I'm sorry I don't have pictures. Phone dead dead and I didn't expect to do a drive haha. For those who are new don't be afraid to come out. Definitely awesome community. I'm a rookie driver.

Thank you Plato and those that have stepped up in the plate to lead any group drives. Setting the many events up and keep things safe and fun for all.

End of the Summer.
