Well we coming back from the drive and just about to pull in into safway parking lot when CHP got in front of us and stopped in the middle of the road / got out of his car and said "pull over now ! and if you run you done!!!!! " so we all pulled into the parking lot and he call 3 other CHP for back up. So he first talk to Rick ( which in the long run he saved are ass !! THANK YOU ) and said there as been tons of calls of loud cars racing around the county. Then CHP started to right down are plate #'s and started to make people pop there hoods. They did a quick look under the hoods of a couple of cars and then let all of us go. That was a very close call but lots of fun

I got seperated early. I thought we were going down 580 to Coral hollow but I guess everyone went a different way. Anyhow I got to Coral hollow before everyone so just kept going. Coming into livermore there were a few chp cruisers sitting on the side of the road. Could be a coincidence, but I wonder if posting up the route here beforehand tipped them off to when and where we were?
Anyways, I had fun with you guys while I was there. As always a lot of really nice mustangs. Kudos to the guy who had the extra pulley belt for the cobra that ate theirs and for the guy who had the huge tool set. It was also nice of the guy from rohnert park to help him put the belt on. ( sorry I talked to you but never got your name)
Rick-good to see you again. Thanks for putting this all together. I know everyone appreciates it and enjoys it. We should do one more before the weather turns bad.

I can't believe you had the forthought to have a belt. Were his pulleys mis aligned or was the tensioner not working right?
Thanks for the compliment. Prices on viper have really come down-so it might be a lot sooner than you think.

yeah i always watch the viper prices... they've come down tremendously... but so has everything. i always carry an extra belt just in case. he said one of the pulleys had a crack in the middle i think so it was shredding the belt. i thought something was mis-aligned too quote: Originally posted by aslowdodge: quote: Originally posted by Wings65288: oh yeah that was my belt, he tore that one too! poor guy... he found the problem though so it's all good. just glad he's gettin it fixed. nice viper btw... i'd love to have one someday, that same color scheme.

Good morning all! And it is a good morning. We all have our health...and cars(lol).
Anyways, it was my pleasure to put this together, had a great time doin' it, and it was great to see some of you all again as well as some new faces.
Thanx to all of you for followin' along and goin' with the program. I know we had alotta dudes(and a few ladies)from clubs around the area and there was no drama whatsoever...and no side show crap,etc. And when the CHP was questioning me, everyone kept their cool, and that my friends is what saved us right there. At the end of the day those officers were cool, they coulda been "jerks" about everything and they weren't, so if any of them happen to be reading this I give you a "thanx" on behalf of all of us .
Great crusie, great fun! Great teamwork out there. As mentioned, dude threw a belt, and someone had an extra one that just happened to be close to size needed. Bam! Then we needed a overzie 1/2" socket which, thankfully, another person had in his big a** tool box he had in his trunk. Who says mustang enthusisasts aren't resourceful? That coulda been a major buzzkill situation but we got through it...awesome! It was fantastic to see all those Cobras out there(sorry, I'm a little biased )...as well as all the other Stangs. It was also nice to cya, Kev, reppin' that Viper, too. That thing sounds bada** as ever...sorry we lost ya bro. Maybe if ya had enough hp you coulda kept up It just seems to me that the each year, the mustangs get nicer and nicer at our gtg's. People are really takin' care of them and makin' 'em look tight. I didn't see one "bad" stang there. I think we had 27 cars + Kev's Viper.
Everyone, I had blast. Thanx for makin' it a great cruise. By far the best Altamont gallop yet. Even with the CHP situation at the very end it was still way up there on the cool scale. I was very impressed at everyone's attention to safety while "cruisin" abit. With all of those twisties, small roads, and hairpin turns, we didn't have any, not one single incident involving driving "stupidity" . We'll certainly have to do another one sometime...certainly "Altamont 4" will have to be planned for next summer. POST PICS!!!...I know there's gotta be tons of 'em!

Special thanks goes out to Rick for such an amazing cruise and for finding his SUPERMAN CAPE at the last second . It was also nice to meet all that came out. PS: RICK, you can go "F" yourself if you think your gonna see PICS of this cruise lol. Anyone that took that chance was risking there life (4-REAL) . This cruise was that INSANE !

Like everyone else said, THANK YOU VERY MUCH RICK! I had a blast! The route was great and really let me get a feel for what my car can/can't handle...I realized how slow my car is compared to all the 03+ Cobras, but the Saleen actually handled better than I expected. I think I'm gonna need to hit up Nextgen pretty soon
I was able to take a few shots throughout the cruise...sorry they're pretty shitty, but here they are...
Also, it'll be great if someone could setup a cruise before the summer ends...maybe on the other side of the bay, like Highway 9/84/35/1??? Just a thought

I'm not sure if they were waiting for us or if they followed us to our final destintion, but they came because there were supposedly multiple 911 calls about us running people off the road and driving too fast. In the officer's words, we were supposedly "driving like jack asses." They were actually cool about things though...let us go without any tickets
