| At this point, I'm coming to the party pretty late and all of the good stuff has been shown, so I'll try to limit this to some of the more interesting pictures: A cool cloud formation on the morning we left NoVA:
 The 'Elvis-sighting' picture I previously posted:
 Highschool humor moment from the restroom at one of our gas stops (somewhere in TN IIRC). It was subject of much commentary:
 This one was for Adam:
 Had an opportunity for an open-road shot. This would be the view I'd have for quite a while as I was somehow elected to lead the group even though I didn't have a map :-)
 Spee overcome with emotion by being in the presence of all the TT's and bowing to show respect:
 AVS's own all.....
 Looking for 'toe and not seeing much so I had to settle for the dangling hand out the window ;-)
 27th floor shot of where we parked after arriving at the hotel:
 Sitting up in the nosebleed section did have some advantages:
 SactoTAWD sporting his tt.net spirit (really Todd....yellow?!):
 Check out his Zebra stripe tint job:
 I'll skip the car show and Cowboy stadium pictures - I can't top Spee's action shots. OK, one car show pic - this is NOT my car BTW. But GAWD is it a sexy lass!!!:
 Cool picture of Tu taking a corner at MSR:
 I *almost* got the panning action in this shot:-)
 Sacto was high-fiving anyone who passed a tree-fiddy on the track - I hope this guy got his high-five :-)
 Another cornerning shot:
 Uh oh, now the tree-fiddy has been passed by an NA (did you catch that one Todd?):
 Halo giving his thumbs up (you'll see why in a moment):
 Ni(x)it flat-spotted the tires on his Skylame:
 ...and the brakes got the Ni[x]it thumb's up approval too:
 Does Nixit (and Halo for that matter too) realize there's two cylinders missing?
 Brief intermission for some nature shots taken by TT XTZ (thanks Ash, now I can't look at the weeds in my lawn in the same light as I used to :-P):
 OK back to the ZR stuff...Group picture "Seedy-style":
 Artsy shot from the fountain in the lobby:
 Despite claiming he was scratching at the razor burn on the back of his head, Ashley (Scott's lovely G/F) sees through his ploy to check out her Nismo lanyard:
 The Sac!!
 No Doug....for the LAST TIME, I will NOT sell you my AVS's. And if they end up missing, I'll know just where to look.
 SCOTTY1, Sac, TT XTZ (what is she describing?!), Jennifer (Tu's G/F), and Tu:
 I think there's more pictures of Todd with his eyes closed than with them open.
 Camera war: Spee shoveling it in and Guapo's wingless head:
 See Guap? You really do need a wing. And Spee's still going at it.
 YB:
 YB doing his best to emulate Spee:
 KaZ's brother far left, HaloZ sniping, and SCOTTY! (he's thinking 'Enough with the !@$! camera wars already):
 And we could all use another picture of Marshall :-)
 "CORNHOLIO!!!"
 Dogpile showing how he makes his eyes glow red (apparently it works on all the Russian wimmen as we would find out later in the evening):
 I'll probably get banned for this, or maybe some of my posts will mysteriously disappear....but it'll be worth it for posting this picture :-P
 So where is Scott while Spee makes suave moves on his G/F?
 Mindi, Marshall, back of dogpile, and back of AliaZ:
 Nope, Scott's still not anywhere to be seen:
 Snoguitar (sorry 'bout the bad focus):
 Tu and his Jennifer (I can see why he's smiling, she's a lovely woman and very helpful with calling AAA when one's key get's locked in the car):
 Mindi, Damon, Greg:
 For Ni[x]it - go ahead and say it: RAWWWRRR!!
(just in case the door swings both ways Nick)
 Hey I found Scott! He was watching over Damon and Mindi's purchase not realizing the Spee was capitalizing on his absence:
 Marshall working it for the camera's:
 Congrats!!
 TT XTZ *sigh* =)
 It was a bitter divorce, but in the end they each got custody of what they wanted most:
 Saying goodbye to the Japanese:
 If I end up banned, I'll know why: Here's Greg demonstrating how he approaches women on the street with offers of free mammograms:
 ...and showing the typical reaction from getting sprayed with mace:
 Ummm....Scott?! (Ashley confirms there was no razor rash on the back of Spee's head and then realizes what he was staring at all that time):
 Greg trying to show the Vulcan mind-meld hand positions while boileralum is so disgusted that he's got it wrong, he can't even bear to watch:
 Greg in one of his (many) vulnerable moments:
 The food of choice at this year's convention:
 =)
 Heading east getting ready to cross from into TN (from Arkansas). Funky Pyramid on the left.
 And for all of you with your 100K odo shots, I did one better :-)
 We stopped for dinner and gas outside of Memphis. Looking across the highway, we noticed the gas station on the other side was where we stopped so boileralum could fix his leaking oil return hose - we didn't plan to stop in the same location...The "Chesters" sign was a dead giveaway:
 Cool sunset shot:
 Here's a close up of a wing just for Guap :-)
 Spee trying his moves on TT XTZ now that the 'other' Ashley is out of the picture:
 Link to the rest of the pictures After overnighting in Nashville with the group, I split off and headed south to GA to visit some relatives and then headed north a day later. It was hard driving on my own and not seeing a line of Z's in my rear view mirror, or rev matching with Bernie, Adam, and Spee (TT XTZ is still rocking on the OE exhaust), and listening to the exhaust sounds synchronize - it's a sound like no other. Gas stops got surprisingly simple to *shrug*. Anyway, these pictures and words really can't describe the wonderful times spent in the car and with all of the tt.net folks. If this doesn't convince people to make it to the next ZCON (or any other Z event for that matter), I don't know what will. Dave
Little did Bob realize that Harold discovered the elusive "brown note" and was about to put the theory to test
