Las Vegas Gathering

[VXIRONwoMAN]

We are so missing out!!! So wish Gill and I could be there with you all. Gotta start making plans for the next one.

Well, a few of us joined up for an informal gathering in Las Vegas this past weekend. We had a great time, with lots of fun... and lots of spirits..
Had a great convo with the Dubster...oh, but that reporter already filed a report on that....

Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...... unless Kat has her camera .....

The gang enjoying a great lunch at a deli in the Mirage hotel.



Some obscene amount of Pastrami on a single sandwich....Both Jay and Anita gave it a try, but neither could finish it!



Jay enjoying a cold one while we were hanging out in Anita & Mike's suite.



Greg & Lisa being cozy.....



Lisa and I getting ready for a fun evening!



I tell ya that Lisa is just plain obsessed with my, um, um.....she's always grabbing them.....member Moab '10???



My hubby Dave with his traveling bar all set up...ready to play mixologist!



Dave & I


After a great evening of fun and friendship hanging out with the gang, consuming a few, er um, spirits....around 100 am Kat discovers the hotel roundabout; (and the hotel hallways!) while piloting her rental scooter....woo-hoo, around and around we go! Yee Haw!!
Too much fun! ....and no damage was inflicted nor incurred...well except Lisa and I couldn't stop laughing...

Greg & Jay promised they'd pimp my ride when I finally get one of these...they'll make a great bull bar/brush guard since I seemed to have a wee bit of trouble stopping in time... and then put some mud tires on it!

The only down side to this fun time....an IDIOT cab driver slammed into Lex Kat on the freeway in Vegas, while we were stopped dead in rush hour traffic! Smacked us pretty dang hard as he was accelerating coming up behind us! Both Dave & I could see him coming in our mirrors and nothing we could do! IDIOT!

Had to wait IN THE CENTER DIVIDER/BeRM with the 2 vehicles half way blocking the #1 lane, until the special Taxi Cab unit of the police dept, the regular police, and the Taxi company's insurance adjustor arrived. Then the police blocked all 5 lanes and escorted us across to the other berm where it was safer.

I got a bit twisted up from the impact and was fairly sore in my back and my right arm. Had my seat belt on thankfully cuz he really popped us hard.

The good news, the cabby got cited by the police and got fired from his job due to the severity of the judgement error and the citation. At least it was a taxi company with insurance.

No, it can't be something easy...no, it's a white pearl paint...I know from my last pearl car that got swiped (by another idiot) it's extremely hard to paint match it with the right amount of mica, hue, and light reflection....oh joy...this should be fun over the next few weeks...
Also, I think the rear quarter panel has a slight crease, right in front of the gas filler door. You can see the difference in the spacing where the fender and quarter panel meet...

paging Luna-X.....

p.s... Yes, I thought, hey, since we're driving 250 miles, why not throw the super bumper on the Lexus for the trip, hey, it can't hurt right?
T4B & JAMAS.....notice anything ironic in these pics....???

p.s.s...Hey Eric.., at least my Nittos are still balanced !! hehe

Glad you guys are ok. Make sure you document any of your soreness with a trip to the doctor. If those aches turn into problems later, you want to be able to charge it back to the insurance company.

As for the Spare bumper....At least you don't have to worry about sending it back on top of everything else.
