I see you're passing by Reno.

Just to let you know, I've never seen an Atom up close.

I'm in Lovelock, NV tonight. (For a fun experience, Google for "Lovelock hellhole").

I have to do 400+ miles tomorrow to get to Salinas.

I'm not sure what time I'll be passing through Reno, or what time(s) you're free. If you PM me a phone number, I'll call you in the morning.

Oh man, you're only 90 miles or so from Reno.

I'm usually free in the mornings, and work 1530 till 0200 (four 10-hour shifts....gotta love them !).

I'll PM my number, maybe we can meet somewhere off I-80. (If you have time, I live 10 miles north of the interstate in Sparks).

Yup. And if I could have, I would have continued on to at least Fernley. But after 500+ miles in the Atom I needed to stop for the day. So I wound up here. I need to wind up in Salinas by tonight, so I can meet the installer that has my tires (a new set of AO48's from Tire Rack) and get them on the Atom before the track day.

I'm sorry the meeting didn't work out - with your starting time of 3:30 PM I figured that noon would have been Ok. I apologize for the mis-communication.

No worries, Terry.

Hopefully, next time you're in the area, I can get to meet you and the car.

Last night I was in Half Moon Bay.

Today I'm heading into the woods (2 days in Yosemite, 2 in Sequoia, and 2 in Death Valley) so I may not have access to post updates for nearly a week.

Haha - That is the town I grew up in.

And near where I'll be towards the end of the month.
Nuts.... Timing sucks....
