That's why I posted my schedule. Its what I did last year and it works well. Plus we meet up with Apollo and L-Dub at the end of the first day.

Thursday we have to leave very early in the morning though to make it into the SanFran area by 5pm or so. That's the longest day of driving.

The next day isn't bad at all. 6-7hours but its split up with bowling mid afternoon. We do arrive in the LA area (city of Orange) late Friday but I would hope we have hotel arrangements done prior. If Apollo can't get something set up then I'll have my own room ready somewhere in the area. I might be bringing my own passenger so I'll probably room with her if that happens.

After Sunday I'm going south ...so you other folks can head home in 2 days or whatever you choose. I plan to drive to Sacramento or maybe a little further in one day. Then the rest of the trip the next day.

So in 2006 when I left the Seattle area at 3:30am I had breakfast in Salem Oregon at about 8am (got lost in Portland, hehe... took a wrong turn)
Then lunch was at Subway somewhere in northern California. Dinner at In N Out in Oakland.

 

yup.... and me still without transpo... man it would be awsome to drive there in my Z... but i dont trust it for a trip that far nor do i think im up for a drive nearly that far. lol.... so airplane it is.... but airport to hotel.... GAH.... stupid minor details....

 

So same as last year, cept maybe the adition of E? Wait for the northern peoples to get to Oakland, eat then possibly chill at my casa and crash. Head out of either my place or ZCG friday morning like last time in San Jose, heading south on 101. Stop in SB for lunch and bowling, then continue south to finish in Orange.

 

yes, that's the plan exactly! Entropy and Shady280 will be joining me for the cruise from Washington to Oakland.

I'll add your map to my page. You see about those hotel rooms in Orange, k buddy?

I wrote 10am on Friday as the time to meet at The Garage but I don't really remember what time we met last year. 9am might be better.

 

hey.... you guys are forgetting pretty much the most essential and vital part to that trip and plans in generall... convoy pick up on snow... that way no one can get lost and theres bound to be an open car for my one measealy bag and I... with out that part.. what the hell is even the point of going to MSA?

 

aight finally got pre-registered. didnt get the t-shirt, keeping it a cheap trip, although the garage sale will be a hard day. i did a yahoo map, its 1292 miles for me!! 20 hrs 32 minutes to msa front door. or for the metric folks like me, its 2078 km. so if my car goes 400km to a tank, ill have to stop 5 times for gas alone! and up here its 60 bucks a tank, therefore im gonna spend 300 in gas. what are the prices down there? up here they are 90 cents a liter.

 

swap in a rear end with a better ratio for the trip .

 

Probably of no use, but I thought I would extend the offer:
Anyone that needs a place to crash on I-5 just south of the Canadian border can have the floor in my Dorm room. I'll even treat you to some average Res Hall food and all the hot freshmen you can oggle.

Just extending the offer.

Wish I could come, sounds like a hoot

 

ok, im taking my z to MSA, jsut gotta finish some body work.

 

In WA gas is about 2.60/gal (do you use premium?)
expect CA to be about 2.80 right now

 

The V6 in my mousestang is loosing oil pressure... any one have a spare seat?

 

i have a spare seat from the salton sea to MSA

 

anybody interested in a stillen rear bumper cover for a z32??

 

cool. so your driving through san jose?

 

Walk to the Z-Car Garage on Saturday morning and see if anyone has an empty seat.

 

yup its preimium gasoline for me, 92 octane or higher. i may swap to the 3.54 ratio i had b4, but then my car would be slower, so its really a debate, fast accel, or fuel milage. the taller gears would prolly only save 50 bucks in gas anyway. unless someones mad math skillz can figure it oot

 

any takers on the stillen rear bumper cover?

 

You giving it away?

 

no, i know anything stillen for a z32 has to be worth something, but i hate how it looks..

 

Then ya might want to say how much you are asking, & post a pic.

 

He's lying. He is gonna have a suit case full of just hair products!

 

 

i might consider trades for a different bumper cover though..

 

ummmm, for sale section? looks good to me, but if thats your personal taste

 

just reminds me of a baby who **** his diaper..
