it was at the st petersburg pier for the wild weekend. I would have done the skyway trip but I had to work. my friends loved it.
I almost drove it to tennessee a week ago but I did not like the way the brakes felt and the tranmsission was making a whinning noise.

btw the show at the pier was bigger than ever. cars were being turned away because all the spots on the pier were taken. There were as many vws parked outside of the pier than on it. I think I saw volkyland.

mark the calendar last full weekend in april. Come and join the fun next year.
