Alrighty, we'll be pulling out of the driveway in about 10 minutes.

[Archon]

You guys have a safe trip.

Tom and the Booze Brothers are in Ohio (just crossed the Ohio line) about 45 minutes ago. They'll be making a stop to give a certain car a car-icure.

Will inform you guys when they arrive and leave

I am now in Jackson, MI. Started from home yesterday at 4pm, drove to a rest stop a little before Jackson, arrived about 4am my time, didn't realize the time change till this morning. Got up at 8:30 my time and headed to Jackson and aquired a room at Motel6. So I get 2 morning showers for the price of one. Am going to catch a couple movies here today and relax and head out tomorrow morning.

Sounds good

If you get bored there today, you can always take a trip up here, then we will have a convoy down to the park tomorrow. There may be a few other early arrivals here today also

I like driving more than anyone else, but I think I will pass since I have a room for tonight. My plan is to take off from your place tomorrow and take the "northern" route home. Go over Lake Michigan, instead of under it. Haven't been on that route before.

but a nasty chip in my quarter panel while cleaning up my car. (about teh size of a pea) >:( I also added my fullsize spare in the trunk, even though I dont have the tools to do a tire change, atleast I have something if I get a flat and have to call a tow.

I'll be leaving 7AM tomorrow morning, and if I have no delays I should be at the park by 11-11:30.

Travis. If you want to try something different, but expensive, you could take the ferry over to Wisconsin. It runs between, I think, Muskegon and Milwaukee.

I'll be heading to Detroit in a couple of hours, then go to the park from there.

[PRD2BDF]

Anyone got the Booze brother's celly? No sight of Tom and he hasn't answered his phone, he should have been here a while ago.

EDIT they're here and promptly overshot our dirveway

I actually looked into this, but is very cost prohibitive and I can drive under or over faster and cheaper. It would have been a good one for the "been there, done that" thing though.

A reminder to those that are going to Kensington - make sure you have $4 for a daily parking pass! (Unless you already have a annual metroparks pass)

Guess that they just hate slowing down.

My girlfriend, Nicole, and I will be heading out about 9:00am tomorrow morning. It's about a 4 hour trip, so we should be there around 1ish. We may be staying into Sunday, but also the possibility of leaving Saturday night because I have to help my mom move Sunday morning. See you guys TOMORROW!

EDIT: We'll be traveling in an 05' Focus, obviously because I'm parting the 01'. Anyone need me to bring any parts to the meet, nows your last chance!

[crash93ssei]

I chatted with Cheetah on the phone earlier and he wanted me to post up that he wants a corner light for a '96 - '99 if anyone has one. I can't remember for sure what side he said, so if you have one of each, bring them both if possible

[PRD2BDF]

Tom and the Booze Bros are on their way to Michigan.

Should be there at about midnight
