ASS 08 another success

[Oldsman]

First I would like to thank everyone who came. I would like to thank our Sponsors Pepsi and Jegs.

It was a great time and thank god the rain held off til the evening.

I also like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Redog for all their help. I'd like to thank my parents for the dash plaques and the awesome cookout. Also a big thanks to Colorworks for the awesome shirts.

Hope to see 20+ next year. If Billy can make it, then anyone can.

[Old's Wife]

Get with Billy or Zol if they are coming again next year. They could probably give you some advice on what to save for it and so forth.

Can't wait!

"I'll be there next year!!"

Only with me, it will pan out ;)

Next year's planing has already started for us. The wife and I will have a 3rd member next year, so we are renting an SUV and a U-Haul trailer to bring the Alero out to Michigan.

We are planing to spend about $400 to $500 renting the truck and of course the trailer too. Let's not forget the room, O yeah the baby will probably require a few more stops, and we all know gas will probably be more money next year, after all, it's more now than it was when we left last week (I hope I'm wrong about that one. It shouldn't cost $212 to gas an Alero for a trip to MI)

We are starting to save now (well starting next week) My goal to to pay for EVERYTHING in cash

[[ion] C2]

let's do a 2nd meet in the fall lol

[Redog]

You know, we really have to give Billy credit.

The kid had no idea what he was getting into and probably was very leary about comming out. I know I was the first time.

For as much crap as we give him on the board, he still came out and had a good time. That is one of the little ASS success stories ;)

[cliffordwoeller]

hmmm wonder how much it would cost for me to go from here in dallas to where ever the next meet is

[Midgear]

hmmm wonder how much it would cost for me to go from here in dallas to where ever the next meet is

I don't know.. and I know this thread is a month old and blah blah blah but who cares damit lol

IF you do decide to go, we could meet up somewhere and head over there together.. I'm one state above you and not really -that- far away either.

what's the average amount spent on a trip to ASS, during ASS, and the trip back home from ASS.. I'm seriously thinking about going.. need an idea of how much to save up :lol:



EDIT: Estimated Time: 2.0 hours 59 minutes --- Estimated Distance: 173.05 miles - that's how far apart we are.. we could meet up and drive together to the next ASS easily lol (I hope you're good at directions) :lol:

[meadus101]

3,550 km – about 1 day 17 hours


That's for me to go to ASS. Plus, I need a Passport, Room, and all that Jazz.


By current pricing, 621.75 for Gas alone.

[Redog]

^^ Since the US dollar is worth less than the Canadain dollar you'll be fine.

Our plans have changed slightly. We are still comming out, but we are bringing 2 cars. The wife will drive her Altima and follow me. I'll give you an idea of how bad that trip will be

A 1 hour drive to Englishtown, took 2.25 hours because I had her following me, no lie :(

[Midgear]

From my current location.. 703.27 miles for me to go to ASS.. not sure what that is in keelowmeeters...... but I'm going to attempt it.. weather I get lost or not.

currently gettin teh car prepped for it :lol:

edit: 1131 kilometers-

and just for shits and giggles... 44,542,080 inches.

[Midgear]

excuse the bump.. been browzing the ASS forum for a while.. and the more I look at the pictures and threads, the more motivated I become to travel 700 miles north to make it to the next one-

Couldn't help but notice that an ASS 08' picture gallery isnt on aleroplanet.com.. is it possible to put one up there? instead of picking through these threads to find pics :lol: some GREAT pictures from past A.S.S.'s in that gallery!

Heh, thanks bud. I really wasnt too worried about coming out, i was excited to meet everyone and see what they have done to their aleros! I had a great time and i cant wait till next year..... And you guys give me crap on the board? nahhhhh;) haha.

I wanna meet up with the midwest group and enjoy some highway miles :lol:

[billytheman1188]

Im about to take count of how many people have been saying they will come to ASS 09 and then take count of how many people actually show up;)

[Midgear]

I believe it's michigan. If It isn't I wont be going :p. Im like 2 hours from lansing so I'll try to be there. hopefully I'll have all the new audio stuff put in.

[Oldsman]

Guys if you look at the info for this year you will see Lansing, MI..................MI = Michigan.............the birth place of the Alero and Oldsmobile.

ok.. I just needed clarification on it.

wouldn't that suck if I ended up going to lansing minnisota... call everyone - "guys.. wtf?" "dude.. we're in michigan" "10 seconds of dead silence"

"@#$(%&@$^(#^%*@#$%@#%"

two hours from lansing :glare: .. I'm around 14 hours away lol

I'm already starting on preppin the car for ASS - my biggest issue is going to be getting the dash re-upholstered.. (I ripped the leather clean off.. it was literally cracking apart it was so dry and baked) any tips on that, or should I just get a new dash? do they sell dash covers for the alero? O_o

[[ion] C2]

ya, they do, Redog got one, sell em on eBay for around $180 shipped

[Midgear]

C2;377616']ya, they do, Redog got one, sell em on eBay for around $180 shipped


180 for a dash cover? :blink:

does this cover the ENTIRE dash or just the top portion of it?
