I have a feeling I'll be calling in sick on Friday.

Bringing shirts up might be tough. Normally, I'd say yes. However, we're flying up and I'm not checking any baggage (I travel enough that I can go 3 weeks on a small duffel bag), so every shirt I bring means one less shirt for me.

However, if any of you call me at the office before Wednesday afternoon (386 239 0523) and order a t-shirt (or renew/ subscribe for 2 or more years for a free t-shirt), then I'll personally walk over to the mailing room, grab a t-shirt, and hand-deliver it to you on Friday. Make sure you tell me you'll be picking it up when you call.

I actually have Friday off and will be in the area, but unfortunately can't bag the first day of the family vacation for the meet. I did think about it, though! Sounds like a blast, I've been up to Factory Five many times and can say that they're great hosts.

Would love to see another NE GRM event!

Okay, looks like I'm bringing up one less shirt for myself. Thanks Woody! (Although I will admit, he paid for his shirt with a ratty WRX).

I was just told that I need to come into work tomorrow on my day off but can take Friday off instead. Funny how things work out. Looks like I’ll see you guys at Factor Five.

Looks like I can't make it in the morning. I'm chained to the desk until at least noon.

Anything going on in the afternoon?

Just got the word from Murray Brothers Garage:

New tires are mounted and the WRX is ready to head north on Friday.

Great, although my dad has now declared that he won't be renting a car because we can carry the family around in the WRX all week....

I'm looking forward to it. Mom isn't.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck with that.

You know he bought the cheapest WRX in the country, right?

Should be fun. Just explained the whole plan to my mom, who is going with us to Mass. and she just said she would take a tranquilizer.

As for “Packy”, haven't heard that term since I was a kid. There is one right down the street. The one on the other end of town used to sell to kids. I am just guessing that and have no personal knowledge. And yes, I grew up on Main street just a mile or two from Factory 5.

Wicked pissa good. Tom Brady is the lord and can't wait to see my crappy WRX.

I'll try to drag my ass out of bed early and be there. Second and third shifts do wonders for my sleep cycle. @_@

Hay since it is my B day tomorrow (no really it is) the wife and kids want to come along the boy is 7 and daughter 11. Is FF cool with kids around or is that a bad idea? This also means I don't bring the 924s At a minimum My son wants to go. It could be just a son dad thing.

The kids are welcome, just make sure they keep their hands away from hot/moving objects.

I'm in Wareham now, I can't wait for tomorrow!

Thank you to GRM and Factory Five for giving us the tour and sneak peek at the new 818. I was personally very impressed with the professionalism of the company and also the fact the they "get" us oddball car guys...

Despite getting a little wet during testing, Tim seemed to enjoy himself:
