Couple of weeks ago I saw an add in the $2018 classifieds for a bunch of RX7s.

I figured what's there to lose so I emailed the seller. I've been looking for a drivertrain donor for our next build. We talked and not only does he have a 61k mile salvage title RX7 but the Mazda dealer here confirms is a sport model with LSD. We're now set up for us the get our very own RX7.
Our itinerary is:
- Leave Jacksonville 4pm today
- Get to Huntsville around 12:30
- Load RX7 in the middle of the night
- Get back to Jacksonville by 10am tomorrow
is that bridge in ATL still out? (The one that melted)
In reply to sleepyhead :
Pretty sure they fixed that. But it was on 85 iirc and we will be on 75.
4pm and 2/3s of us are ready. 1/3 had to take her dog to the vet. Dog will be fine. Teammate might not ...
Oh, this should be fun. I'll be following along. Safe travels.
Meet Nala. She's at the vet.
Meet Midnight. She's enjoying not being at the vet.
5:20pm. 3/3rds of us are ready. Road Trip!!!
I drew first sleep duty. Bbl.
I got away with my first fart. Well maybe. They didn't hear it but damn does it stink. Don't think it's gotten to the front yet.
We're at a McDonald's right south of Macon. Blaming farts on Carol hasn't gotten old yet. First driver change.
Seller just sent a picture of where he left her.
Stop for some bean burritos and egg salad sandwiches.

It was on I-85 and was fixed in something like 4 months after the fire. Contractors work hard to gain incentives from DOT in the few instances when they are offered.

You sir are pure evil! ;)
A couple of Milwaukee's Best would add to the aroma...

Fresh batteries in the flashlights?
Just went through midtown Atlanta. Totally forgot about the Varsity. No time to stop. Still farting.
1am loading and heading back home.
nice, keep it up!
thanks for the info on the bridge... I don't make it through ATL that often... it was still a hazard when we went through there for OneLap in 2017
In reply to Stampie :
Night time rendezvous. 
Trailer looks like it could have easily swallowed two RX7's. I bet it was a pain in the ass to load with the flat tire.
