Hey, Stimpy. Maybe one of these times, we can try the road that parallels 25 and 198, which would make a loop through Coalinga? If we needed a lunch stop, there is always Harris Ranch, or we could just loop through and come back.
I've taken 198 through Coalinga, and it's a *very* scenic drive. The parallel road looked like nice scenery from the air:

Coalinga has a little deli that sells 1 pound hamburgers that are amazing. They are probally half the price of Harris Ranch even tho Harris Ranch is very good too!

Hmmmm. Beef. You might have something there. So we'd come north on what road?
Probably the second road, the one to the east. As for lunch at Coalinga or Harris ranch, that might be long to wait to eat instead of breakfast, or might be too close to dinner. I'll let you figure out the best course of action on the food. If we go through Coalinga, we could make a "pit stop", if needed.

You're gonna have to be more specific then that! Are you talking about coming back north on I5, or is there another road? Of course we could go to Coalinga and then just come back the opposite way on 25.

The road is 198. If you go left (east) on 198 it will go to H Ranch, if you go right (West) you will wind up in Coalinga. I 5 goes right between the two. I will need to look at a map to see it for sure but you cant miss 198.

F*ck it. I'm washing my hands of this. If you want to show up and drive this road, it's open every day and there's no admission.
F$ck what? The Guestbook or the ralley? The damn guest book is still not posting BTW. If we are not doing the ralley tell me before I make resevations.I'm not going by myself.

I guess I owe an explanation. I haven't been well lately, and last Thursday it came to a head, resulting in me admitting myself to the mental health unit at the county hospital (big mistake). I was released on Saturday, and I still need follow up care to get my medication right. Maybe my depression has affected the way I come across, but it really hurt to come home and see posts of people bragging how they rated me negative for having an unpopular opinion. My presence at this run is not important for it to be successful. I do hope people show up and have a great time. If my medication is straight by then, I may show up, or I may be going on a trip to Alaska with my dad.
I'm sorry to anyone that feels hurt or slighted by my comments. There isn't a person here on this forum that I would be rude to in person. Hopefully I can learn not to be such an ******* .

It must be because I never thought you would give a rats ass about others comments. Who did it and I'll go say something mean to them those bass terds!!
Anyway whats up with the meds bro.If you are supposed to take em take em.Lots of people need em.I happen to one of them. I take an anti psychotic and if I didn't I would swing up to high and then crash to low.You think I have Discretionary problems now catch me after a week of no meds.Some of us have issues and don't funtion well without so take your damned pills and make it to the rally.You got plenty of time to get your shlt together.Maybe you just don't feel that way now but trust me at the bad times nothing is right but after you level you will change your mind.
Remember this.People with problems like this have a few more needs but they also have a lot more to offer.I wouldn't trade my situation for another.

This about toddster's 'trophy'? I don't need to say to not let people get to you, I have always observed you calling truth with uber sarcasm... and a lot of people don't like it. Their problem... not yours. Jennifer has some kind of thyroid condition, and *they* are constantly having to change her meds to get her straight. So many variables... weight, age, hormone levels fluctuating, diet... it all affects her dosage... and *they* still haven't found the best balance. Hopefully the different *they's* will get your dosage figured out quickly. Which number do you play in roulette anyway?
And to random PFF in General: It takes 2 minutes with this imposing man to realize that he is pretty cool. Way cooler than me (that is what I though when I met Jeffrey the first time) ((still holds true, BTW)). Very shirt off his back or beer's on me kind of friend.
And Jeff... I dont think you're a ********. I think you're more of a #######.

I'm really sorry that I kinda went off back there. I really want this run to go on, and maybe I will be able to participate. No way I'll be able to cope with "hosting" it. I had some ideas about the route and what to stop for, but if someone wants to step in and be the guide, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my blessing.

As long as you got 5-7 cars together, it's going to be a blast. I'd hate to see it get too big. We had to stop multiple times for the dukes to catch up. (Except Steven).
I still hope to show, but I'm not even going to stress about how it goes together. This is a total BYOWhatever. After watching Dale deal with the Coast Run downside, I told Pokey that I just wouldn''t put out like that. If I make it, great. If not, I'll be in Alaska.

I would love to go to this. I have never been to a Fiero deal except the WCF BBQ and it was really fun. My car should be plenty ready by April 29-30th.
------------------ '89 LX Coupe 5.0 In loving memory of Israel Perez 1985-2004
I'm going. I won't be racing cause I'll be in a coupe deslow but it will still be a blast. I didn't stay over last time but I'm fairly certain I will this time so maybe we could all hang out that night after dinner by the pool.
