Caravan: So who is interested in driving down together? Does anyone with an empty seat want a co-driver/someone to split gas with?

I'll be posting this on the Canadian and West forums to see if they want to meet up and drive together.

 

Im Down, Takin my 7 hellz ya!

 

Ugh if only I had the money, would be an awesome trip.

 

well ****, i think i might be down.. I drove a 82 rx7 from salem oregon to jasper texas before, but it killed the cars motor, well i fried the oil rings, so i am a little nervous now about taking my sevens on 1k + trips , but this would be so worth it.... Chris, if i dont get mine dun on time and beckys is not going, are u? need a co- pilot?

 

Hummm sounds like a great road trip. I'll see if I can work into my schedule.

 

Flying down this year, and renting a car. I called every place I could think of last year to try and rent an RX-8, but no one had them for rent. So I will at least try to rent a Mazda.

 

Does anybody else have a lot of work to do on their cars?

I have to find a job, pay marc for the last work he did on my car, sell my truck, buy an engine, rebuild it, buy another transmission, have marc at FD3S engineering do the swap and then break the engine in. And have enough cash put aside to pay for gas, food and a hotel. So I figure it will take nothing short of a small miracle to get everything done by then.

 

Need to Finish body work, paint, put it back together. Save up for gas, All while paying out the *** for child support.

I think i can do it!

 

tempting...

 

Yeah, I thought about flying as well since it's so much faster, but since it would cost more for me to fly I figured I would put that money into my car instead.

Here are some of my estimates

Flying: 8 hours
$500 per person round trip

Driving: 14h 19m
$223.04 total round trip
$111.06 per person

Hotel: $297
$148 per person

Food: $100 per person


Flying with a roommate:$750

Flying without a roommate : $900


Driving with passenger/roommate: $360

Driving without a passenger/roommate:$ 620

 

It seems chris and i are down, i am going to get the T2 dialed in and probably take that, but if i cannot i am totally sitting shotgun in chris's car, so count us in for the trip! Ooooooooh i might have to take a detour to ashland and hit the hills there!! Anyone ever been there? Best mountain roads in oregon and washington!!! SCAAAAAAAARY Fun!

 

i might be down

 

Talked the the guys in Nor*Cal and they are interested in joining up with us.

We have two options, we can drive to Sacramento (about a 9 hour drive) on Thursday, spend the night, then wake up early Friday and drive the rest of the way down to Irvine (about a 7 hour drive) or we could drive straight down on Friday which will take about 16 hours.

 

i drive alooooot and take it from me, we want to rest.... my suburban is a livingroom on wheels and even with that i get really tired and uncomfortable at the 12hr mark.So i imagine in a seven i will want to die... lets plan on resting

 

I vote not doing the 16 hour drive. Its a recipe for disaster.

 

Sounds like a blast but won't be going.

 

Thats about right. I drove with a friend in his FD for SSX. I think we both spent around $300 on the trip with gas, food, and hotels. Thats not including all the money we spent at the event.

 

afgmoto1978 & I made it from Portland to LA in 11 hours & 14 minutes...

 

I hope to be able to set aside some cash and go, I'd love to be able to do it.

But I got my car down at FD3S Engineering myself, and have to come up with money to fork over to Marc for getting my car fixed. :p

Lets hope we can get a good group possibly going down this year!

 

What's wrOng with your car

 

I vote for not doing it in a single day. Better safe than sorry. IMO.

 

hmm might look into requesting this weekend off very tempting

 

Didn't I just tell you yesterday while I was there? lol

 

^ i am curious and dont know

 

Throwout bearing came out, shredded my clutch and pressure plate... need to get flywheel resurfaced probably as well... And my tranny has always been a little iffy since I bought the car...

So I got one of those to put in too.

All thanks to Derek.

First thats getting fixed is my moms GTU, then onto my car I guess... ha
