Great response guys.

I'm going to try to get to town no later then 6:00, earlier if possible.

As we get a bit closer we can try to firm up a time and place to get together for dinner.

Andy,

Sunday I plan on going to Cayucos to visit my niece. Cayucos is right on the coast about 5 miles north of Morro Bay.

Breakfast Saturday morning is a great idea.

Peter,

I will certainly wait for you to show.

Average price here in Norco, Ca., riverside area, is 4.40 per gallon. It wasn't that high when oil was 147.oo a barrel.

Nolan,

I'm looking forward to your gourmet burgers.
I'm much more interested in the Boss nameplate than the 5.0 Liters. But the engine is so amazing for being factory Ford. It's basically got a tunnel ram type box intake that has runners going almost straight down into the heads where the ports go straight to the intake valves. It'll be limited to 150 MPH or so and 7500 RPM. Not sure if the red "Track Key" changes those parameters. Early dyno results indicate Ford underestimated the power again. Considering the drivetrain loss they think the flywheel HP is something like 455.

Note to Jody: Get a Boss 302 and start tuning them! I need more power already and haven't even sat in it yet..

This is how I plan on marking my parking spot at work.

Sadly no. It's a 3rd quarter allocation/build. Sometime after July. My life will essentially slow to a crawl between now and then!

Very cool.

I hear red and black cars may take more time b/c of the earthquake in Japan. Seems like those paint colors are sourced from there.
