Lots of choices here.
And I figured depending on what time you guys get in we can all eat some place Wednesday night.

HEHE yes!!
Evan!
You know it boi
Jess, just let me know.
Take your time I'm in no rush
at some point we may run into the indy crew as well. even longer train of cars lol
Why are you guys going I-75 from Fl? From Jacksonville the drive to the Bash is only 12 hours and 46 minutes. Why not make the drive all in one day.

o ya that would work... considering i'll be in another damn car lmao
OMG, that made my sides hurt from laughing.. I'd leave the Picard Facepalm again, but I dont feel like doing a double-take on that one

if gas doesnt get too much higher, I expect to pay around $160 for gas for a round trip.. possibly more, depending on how much driving we do once we get up there. that, and I need an extra $100 for HPT so I can get me some MPGs

but yea, the construction areas would be a big plus Jess, if you can get that kinda info. also, projected route outta FL? 95? 75? that makes a bearing on my plans now.. my living situation has changed...
yes, as of Sunday, I will no longer be a member of the O-Town Throwdown and will be moving back to Ocala. I'm not gonna divulge details publicly, but ppl like Jess who know Shani's dad will understand why.. with that said, I need to find a place to meet up with you guys on the way outta FL

I'd still find a way to blame it on Fluffy

With stops and picks up of people along the way it would be forever and I can see us not getting there til midnight or later.
I used to be really good with road trips, like from Orlando to NY in one night kinda good. I personally know that now if i'm in the car that long or longer I'll get cranky and sleepy as hell, especially if I'm gettin up @ 8-9am to leave. Besides, its a road trip, it doesn't have to be a straight there and back trip 
Jbdy04, I'll look into it and see where the route best works for everyone.
I guess I understand (but don't). Robert and I talked lastnight about it. I would never get up at 8am for this kind of road trip. We would rather get there in one day and spend the extra day in Ohio.
In 04 a group of Fl people went to the Bash (5 I think) made great time until we popped a power sterring hose in WV.

this thread excites me, i love seeing new faces, or revisiting some of those I hadn't seen in awhile (higgins *cough*)
you dont see too many ppl swapping TO the '03+ rear-end.. so I too am gonna blame you for this air strike I'm about to drop, 'cause you did something like that... now buy my front bumper so I can go to the show!!!!
I'm with Jess on taking our time and seeing the scenery on the way, not just trying to haul ass during that long-ass drive.. unless I happen to get a job by then, but we'll see. if we take 75, we can stop by and see my dad.. he's the coolest mutherf*cker to ever walk this planet, I promise you that.. he's a notch above Fluffy's parents

but just one notch

i got 03+ tails on my car. i like them so much better than the 02. looks good fluff. now buy evans bumper so he can go to the show. do it!
I understand wanting to see thing in the World (as do I). That is why I take vacations. To me this is not a vacation this is a car event/show. As is the florida meet. I come to hang with the people and the cars. That is why at the florida meet I'm there early on friday and stay until Sunday.

depending on how my court hearing goes this Friday, I may or may not make this... best case scenario, they feel for me and lemme keep my license and I can make up my child support payments as I go.... worst case, they take my license and throw me in jail, to which I wont be seen for a long time

I just hope coming back to my hometown will get me a job faster, with less ppl and competition
