[2.2l Monster]

Do you really have to have 2-ways?Because I dont have any

[jackal2000]

Do you really have to have 2-ways?Because I dont have any

you dont have to have one but you will be out of the loop.

[Oldsman]

Do you really have to have 2-ways?Because I dont have any

no you don't but you end up missing out on things or even getting lost. Maybe someone might have an extra one you can borrow.

Also they help keep the cell phone bill down

[2.2l Monster]

O ok well I guess I could go pick one up, could someone let me know wheres a good place to get one at?

[doubleN0alero]

walmart

[Silentalero]

holy crap, i cant beleive its here already. Woot! Mychecklist involves getting a car to get my happy ass down there lol

[Oldsman]

O ok well I guess I could go pick one up, could someone let me know wheres a good place to get one at?

i got mine at home depot for $30

[2.2l Monster]

i got mine at home depot for $30

Ok cool thats not to bad, thanks

[p1mptress]

OMG I can't believe it's almost here!!! So Chris are you going to get 2-ways for us to use? Or should I still pick one up? And my chicka Audrey is coming with me on the trip.

[cherrington17]

i'm getting a pair. I figure aud will be with you almost all the time, so she won't need one. :lol:

And i scrapped the camcorder idea. The off chance that it gets damaged, then i can't return it.. yeah... i don't have an extra 400, right now.

[Oldsnut]

Do you really have to have 2-ways?Because I dont have any
I have a spare you can borrow if we all hook up at the truckstop.

[Silentalero]

ditto, i got a few extra to incase anybody needs em.

[2.2l Monster]

Ok thanks alot guys! ill be at that truck stop! woo woo I cant wait!

[p1mptress]

15. Tylenol or advil for the possible hang over in the morning

Well maybe that should just apply to me then!

[jackal2000]

15. Tylenol or advil for the possible hang over in the morning

Well maybe that should just apply to me then!

thats why you drink a bottle of water before bed, nub. :p

[p1mptress]

16. lots and lots of water

There!!!

[doubleN0alero]

17. imodium incase you get sick from the relish sitting out in the sun all day at the homecoming show. make sure you have your own so somebody doesn't hold anything over your head for the next year to follow

[p1mptress]

so should we bring any food for outside? Does anyone want me to bring anything?

[jturkey69]

easy-up tents with some type of lead weight to hang on the bottom to keep the tent in place...I have the put-together style shelter, but it does the trick when the sun comes out..i need to find some kind of small lead weights though for the tent legs

[jackal2000]

i just checked the weather report, so far so good.

[Oldsnut]

Will there be a hose at the Holiday Inn if we need to hose down our Ho's?

[Oldsman]

Will there be a hose at the Holiday Inn if we need to hose down our Ho's?

No. but there is a car wash down the road.

[Mischief007]

Especially since most of the cars will probably be covered in bugs. Can't wait.

[Oldsnut]

No. but there is a car wash down the road.
Have we attempted to speak to the Hotel about letting us hook up to their water the first day? I'll bring the hose and nozzle if needed.

[Oldsman]

Have we attempted to speak to the Hotel about letting us hook up to their water the first day? I'll bring the hose and nozzle if needed.

actually no i have not and never really crossed my mind due to we all normally got right down the road to wash them

[Oldsnut]

I have a call out to Andres at the Holiday Inn to see if we can hook up to their water on Thursady & Friday to wash cars. We'll see what they say, why pay when you can wash for free. :rolleyes2: I'm a cheap old fart when it comes to some things.

[Cliff8928]

I'm a cheap old fart when it comes to some things.

And that's not a bad thing sometimes! I bet you'll have no issues with them accommodating your request, I've even had it offered before. And i know my car needs a good washing too! It was quite dusty when i parked it.

[jturkey69]

lol..bikini car washes:D...good idea though, however you will need a very long hose, like 100 ft

[Oldsnut]

lol..bikini car washes:D...good idea though, however you will need a very long hose, like 100 ft
John, this is a family forum you know. :lol: I think I can handle it if they give the OK. The 100ft. part I mean.

[Oldsnut]

OK we have a hose and water hookup waiting for us at the Holiday Inn to wash the cars. I will bring the spray nozzle and some suds. Andres at the H.I. was very cool about it.

[2.2l Monster]

So I was all ready to go, I was looking foward to going to ASS this year more than anything. I had all the money I needed, the car was looking damn good but it seems like all good things come to an end at the wrong time. I was on my way home from work last nite and got into a accident:( So as of rite now I dont think iam going to be making it up there this year because I dont have another car to take up there and now iam freaking out:banghead: worrying about when iam going to be able to get it fixed. So if I can get it fixed by next week ill be there fure sure still but idk if thats going to happen or not. I hope everyone has fun! It really sucks because I was really looking foward to meeting some of you guys. But I guess theres always next year.

[Oldsnut]

That sucks 2.2!!! Pics of the car after the accident? You OK?

[2.2l Monster]

Yea iam not to banged up, just a few scratches here an there, iam just more worried about my car at this point, but I will get pics up in a few. Can you tell me how post them because iam not to sure?

[Oldsnut]

[Oldsnut]

From the pics, only a miracle would get her back on the road for ASS.

[FrankTheTank]

[IRONDOG442]

[2.2l Monster]

Well I was comeing up to a right hand turn at a stop lite and there was a truck in front of me so of course I sat there and wated till he took off. So then I look to my left to see of there is any cars coming and there wasnt any at all, they were all turning, so I decide to go but insted of looking in front of me I just keep my eyes on the traffic to make sure I was ok but the dumb ass in front of me just stoped again for no reason and I ran into the back of him.

Yea I know but I was really hopeing to go this year.

[rowdygls]

If the bodyshop can get the parts soon enough (today or early Mon.) and if they are not overly busy...Three days should not be that big of a stretch.

[Satsuriku]

hopfully you'll still be able to make it

[2.2l Monster]

Iam going to do my best to make it up there. It just depends on the parts and stuff, its going in the shop monday morning, so we will c.

(i'm having the trunk professionally welded/painted to match the car next week, so ignore the fugly spoiler when i get there) >_>
