Long story short, I booked a 4-night stay in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN and I’m bringing JordanSlowRunner with me. Who wants to meet up on March 29th or 30th? I’ll be there from the 28th (traveling from SC to TN) and leaving on the 31st. Jordan found some car museums worth visiting and I want to do more mountain driving in the Miata, especially since I’m bringing my Toyo R1Rs with me so they should give me a little more grip than my Sport Comp 2s.

Let me know ASAP so I can actually plan stuff because right now I’m just winging it, haha!

Romantic! (kidding).

I’ve always wanted to drive the Tail of the Dragon.  Look forward to the pics just like last time.

Maybe. It’s very likely still going to be too early in the season to get out the Porsche. But at this point, who the fuck knows, because it’s currently 72F and storming.

And it’s supposed to snow on Saturday.

You need to get out here and do it sometime. Don't bring the CX-3.

The Forte has lightness going for it, and the D100 has a LeMons Rally Vibe to it(not shitty, just completely out of place), so D100.

[Insert gay Miata memes here]

It’s a novel road but the surrounding roads are less technical, faster, and way more exciting!

It was a joke, but if it’s easy, it comes to it, and you don’t mind, I’m down.

That picture is now soooo 2 cars ago for Jordan.

How is your plan shaping up? I wrote a long explanation of my current thinking, but, y ou know what, I should just text you. Looks like I still have your number.

Thursday: leaving SC, take fun roads to hotel in Pigeon Forge. Maybe stop by Dragon Thursday.

Friday: morning visit to the dragon. I have a 2pm “presentation” I have to attend as part of my deal for a “free” stay there. Afterwards maybe more driving.

Saturday: may our way to the Lane Museum by noon after getting lunch and then visit the Corvette Museum afterward. Unknown what to do after wards.

Sunday: easy drive back to NC/ SC using the Blue Ridge Parkway as there’s a chance of rain that day and we’ll likely be worn out from driving fast.
