I said I'd talk about Zdayz 2018. I had mentioned in passing to my wife that Zdayz looked like a lot of fun. It also just so happened to coincide with our 1 year anniversary weekend. She startled me by being hugely in favor of the trip! So we planned our trip, leaving Thursday evening, and returning Sunday.

What a trip! We left around 4 pm from just outside Philadelphia, PA. By the time we hit Virginia, we were experiencing pretty constant rain, and it became painfully apparent that my rear tires were not holding the way they should (uneven wear caused by an alignment issue, as I discovered later). For the first time in its entire existence, my traction control actually came in useful, when at one point my entire back end broke free and almost snapped me out of my lane. (The good news - our near death experience was a good way of convincing my wife that I needed Pilot 4S tires. Thanks to Rusty for the advice!)

We stayed in an AirBnB in Roanoke, Virgina, and continued the trek the following day, arriving at Fontana Village late afternoon. For the first time, the Z was starting to look fairly common...
