well we decided to go to mooresville nc to see my mom, and check out my stepdads shop. was a long ride with the baby and the dog, and some mad traffic along the way...heres the pics

going through atl...still about to get run over. hell i didnt even know she'd go this fast, my speedo is around 8 mph slow!! I had to have proof nobody would believe this lol


Lake Hartwell



Welcome to SC...about halfway there. Had to stop make sure we didnt lose any parts going through atl.



Otis was enjoying the ride


Seneca River


Traffic


Traffic, plus quick nap lol


Surprise...traffic again



My stepdads race car & the b2 gettin valves adjusted





Traffic from commerce to atl was stop and go the whole time, we left NC at 11:30am, and finnally got home at 9:30pm...only took 5 hours to get there, and 10 to get back. never been so happy to see atl



Overall was a fun trip, besides the traffic, and my 25yr old b2 held up awesome, no problems or anything, and i got 23.337 mpg's even with my slow speedo with an average of 63 mph
