Good luck.
As long as you can get drunk at the show you'll already be a winner.

I will most definitely be imbibing all sorts of things.

SO... I'm driving along on the GS Parkway and around mile 123.9/124 or so there are these big dump trucks. ALL commercial trucks / vehicles  MUST exit at exit 105. If you have a parkway permit for construction you can be there but there has to be active construction. These two were maniacs.

Anyway, I'm about 5 car lengths behind this guy after he squeezed between me and the car in front in the middle lane of the parkway. He's running empty but he's doing an easy 80MPH. I see a big rock, the size of my fist bounce out of his dumper and bounce all over. I'm cringing. The rock takes a big hop and hits my car. I thought it it the roof. So I call Matt on the phone and tell him to write this down. I gave him the license plate and then started following this maniac so I can see the name of the company. He's going over the Driscoll bridge at about 95-100 MPH toward 440N and I get a glimpse of his company name - FAFA trucking.

I get out and find a place to pull in to look. I'm looking at the roof and think, "Damn, I must be the luckies...." and turn my head to the right and see a gouge out of the quarter panel. I'm in tears.

I just spent $800 to have a ceramic coating on the car and it's all ready for the show Saturday and this shit happens.

Now this is even better. Since the parkway is patrolled by the State Police, you have to go into the station and make the report in person. BUT... get this, it's not the report you have to do in person, it's to pick up some ridiculous form to fill out to SNAIL MAIL the report to the NJ Dept of Transportation! WTF?

The cop ran the plate for me and got the trucking info. They seem to have NO Endorsements which means they most likely were on the parkway illegally.

From what I know if you are driving empty you don't need to be covered but you need to clean out the box.
I know they are not allowed on the parkway even if they have the permit unless there is ACTIVE construction going on and there was not. They are from West Deptford, NJ, right across the river by Philly, so that means they should have taken the turnpike to 9 to 440 or something like that. These fucks were driving like they had to get off the highway.

I'm livid. I was in tears. So now I gotta make calls, get numbers and other shit and show my car with this fucking gouge in it. You can stand a dime in the crack it's so deep.
