Not really, especially at that time. As long as they make it past that point by about 4:30.
Berry and I won't be in the caravan this year. We both have to work on Friday. But we'll be heading down after work. With one of our SC RX-7 brothers in tow.

Mapquest how many miles LA is from your house, double that (round trip), divide that by your average mpg highway, then multiply that by the average cost of premium since you have a turbo (Roughly $3.00 since LA I think it's more expensive) then add in the costs of 2 days worth of food, drinks, then hotel, etc
