West Boro?

[AngryTaco]

You know....the whole "God loves Dead Soldiers" crap?

The crazy West Boro Baptist church that protests military funerals and everything else that doesn't agree with their perverted view on Christianity

[scubadave]

Ahh, read the link. It had nothing to do with that. At least I don't see any connection. I didn't mean it to be any crazy religious bull shit so don't take it that way.

[AngryTaco]

It was a joke.............OMG. *facepalm

Also everyone attending BBQ should get their orders in with me so I can bring them down with me in person. I will be donating a set of motor mounts and transmission mounts to the raffle for the event

Last year the Women of Battle Born came up with a great idea during Sunday's cookout. A couple of the local ladies will be coordinating some activities for Saturday afternoon while the guys are out chasing each other around in their ol' quattros.

We'll all head to Cars and Coffee Saturday morning followed by lunch hosted by Audi Henderson. When the fellas head out on the drive the women will have the opportunity to enjoy some Las Vegas Shopping, Show, or Spa. Later in the day we'll reconnect for the banquet and a relaxing evening.

We'll share details as they evolve into a plan so stay tuned.

I don't think I'm going to make it this year, too many loose ends on the car and not enough time to make everything right. I'm trying to get a rear subframe to Vegas, anyone passing through the greater Bay Area with room for parts and beer?

I'll be traveling from Seattle to Reno and will be passing through Norther CA, but it'll be via 189/385 and not I5. If you got it to Reno I could get it to Vegas.

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that the speed limit has been increased to 80 mph in several areas of the state.

Following recently completed speed studies on several rural freeway sections, UDOT crews installed new 80 mph speed limit signs this week on I-80 from the Nevada border to state Route 36; I-15 between north Leeds and Santaquin, with sections of 75 mph zones through two mountain passes and Cedar City; and I-15 and I-84 from the Brigham City north interchange to the Idaho border.

"We had to look at geometry and speed ... speed-related crashes, just to see if it made sense," said John Gleason of UDOT. "And in these designated areas ... 80 miles per hour is the optimal speed."

UDOT stated that the speed limit increase was the result of HB83, passed during the 2013 Legislature, which allowed the department to study and establish speed limits higher than 75 mph on interstates.

UDOT’s data from speed studies of existing 80 mph zones showed that vehicle crashes have slightly dropped over the past three years, attributed to more vehicles traveling at the same speeds and less variation in the speed of surrounding vehicles.

Two words... Perfect timing!


Glad Utah has its head a little less up its ass then many of the other states. Not all, just many, possibly most.

[AngryTaco]

Yay!!!

[Volvadi]

That is wonderful news! It was great fun taking that route with the caravan to the first Battle Born.



Straight shot from Twin Falls to the 318 through Nevada is a lot quicker for me though....
