Hello All! 



I'm back from my 1, 890 mile trip to the Midwest (IN & ILL).  On the way

out, I hit big rain in the mountains on the Penn Turnpike (of course!),

so I had to put the top up.  In the rain, I found that my stock

Bridgestones really did not perform too badly, although I DID slow down

to 50-55 mph (visibility was also a problem).  BTW, the only problem I

have really noticed with the Bridgestones is spinning on a start from

stopped in the rain.



Had great cruising in the backroads of N. Indiana and N. Illinois.

Perrito got it to meet its Midwestern cousin, another 93 LE owned by my

girlfriend's parents, for the first time!  We got some interesting looks

from the cars we passed on our mini-caravan!  Also, we got some great

photos in Galena, for those who know where that is.



On the way back, great weather all the way, so top down, of course.  ;-)



Saw many Miatae and got a BUNCH of wave-backs, which made Perrito very

happy!



No tickets, no troubles, much fun!
