I'll be doing a photoblog of the whole cross country trip...I just have to decide whether or not I'll be driving the FD or the 10thAE...

Take the 10thAE, without a doubt and make the trip back with us up north ;) I'll make sure I get more time off so we can actually have some fun in the city, hit Boston, maybe even Maine??
This year was ridiculous,
Hey Shar, why don't you head back to NY with us
OK
Hey AJ, you should join too
OK

But if you are breaking it up every 2-3 hours and not in a hurry with several FD's, it quite fun :) Caravan part of road trip was one of my favorite part about going to an event..

Maybe that's the great thing about shitty gas mileage? We were stopping every 210-230 miles to tank up, stretch, bitch about tickets, play musical cars, nap in Neatos honduh. The trip down though was just pure go. My fault for leaving 11 hours late I guess. Strait through from 1 in the morning to 5 the next night with a two hour stop for a nap and a shower. Soooooo looking forward to doing it again though. Best rotary gathering ever Phil. I don't care where you have it, (I've not experienced Fontana so I can't intelligently vote) I'm just looking forward to attending again.

I'm also thinking about doing the road trip there with my FC for next year's event. Mike, we could roll together if you'd like! Nader, you too! I think I'll still be on spring break then :)
I've driven nonstop from here to norcal and back to socal in one day, no problem, in the FC! It has those Corbeau Forza's people love to hate too
|
Yeah Johnson, I have those seats too. I also have a bad back and a bionic knee and I had no problem driving it strait either. The passenger seat sits higher and farther forward when using Corbeau's mounts so maybe that's the problem? Whatever, you should def make that trip out with Nader and Mike.

WoW, I would consider being a co-pilot for the journey rather than taking my own ride to the event. I think i would be more effective in offering my co-pilot service for this type of a road trip.

Seems like there are three or four people making the trip from the west coast, or considering it. Musical cars helps, balls deep in a few others is fun, non-stop would be a bitch but doable with enough redbull and stripclub stops. Shit, by 5:30 the friday morning of DGRR I was on 44.5 hrs of no sleep to get the car done. It was awesome..... then I nodded off in my Corbeaus for 2 hrs why someone else drove it to the hotel..... DGRR was about the most fun I have had in a LONG time. Can't wait to do it again.
