    Filled up the GT4 tonight. Oil has been changed, coolant is full as well as the gear oil. Tire pressures are 31f/34r and I'm heading out in approx 7hrs. (4am EST)
    My route has changed as I'm joining Crawford White in Nashville to talk Ferraris at a school in Joelton, TN. See this thread: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213577

    From there I'll head down to Tunica. I should be there around 4pm or so depending on stops/traffic, etc...

    Keep an eye on this thread as I'm taking my camera and laptop. I will update with photos as I am able to. :)

    Got the GTBi ready to go. Checked everything and found the spare tire only had 20psi. (just a reminder for you guys to check your spare). I'm leaving around noon and meeting Larry in Hattiesburg around 1-1:30 then we'll race to tunica. See you guys there. Joe

    2nd stop was about 60 miles North of Nashville cuz I had to GO!! Found a BP and filled up but there was a guy there pandering and would not leave so I did. I was relieved that threr was a guard at the next rest area.
    Mileage= 19.2MPG.....not too shabby.

    I'm in Benton AR at a local steakhouse of indifferent quality. Car is being a road hammer, running great on the new rims and new belts. Averaging just over 20 MPG @ a pretty constant 80. About 200 miles to go.

    OK, I spent 10 minutes looking for the "This thread is useless without pictures" card that DrStrangelove would play on you guys so I could play it here, but I can't find it. Let me live vicariously through you. POST A FEW PICS!!



    Jeez, it's got PHOTO right in the title of the thread.....

    We somehow missed the exit to US 61, and ended up in a bombed-out neighborhood in (I believe) West Memphis. I think I could have traded my car for that building. Found our way out and eventually were on the way to Mississippi. It's getting late, we've been on the road now for quite some time.

    That pawn shop is 2 miles from the casino entrance -- just in case you need it....

    We were happy to finally arrive at the Harrah's casino. Don't I look happy? :D

    Turns out our hotel isn't the one attached to the casino, but rather back across the way. Not a big deal, we thanked the desk clerk and went to the right one.
