Nice that's it's still going on. I have 2 quick questions 1st one, althrough it's kind of dumb, but you guys didnt by chance take note of the total milage of the drive you?

Lastly the end is at the mall...any place picked out for food, or just trail and error once we get there?

the drive was about 50 miles. this seems a little silly, but we don't want to have people feeling "gyp'd" so we thought about an hour drive would be good. the truth is that it could be shorter, it could be longer. you guys just need to tell us what to plan for. even tho i picked the route, jehan will tell you that the roads were a blast and that we have the "keep people together" thing pretty much covered. there are a ton of places for us to pull over, as a group, to recover people who may have been caught at a left, a stop sign, or a red light. i strongly encourage people to come out. it will be a great time, for sure.

about the ending place, i think that silver spring mining company would be good for everyone, including those who are not 21. other places in the area included padonia station, outback, and carrabba's. these are all within 5 miles of our current endpoint, so all are possible. let's hear some feedback from you guys

**rex.effect** · 07-04-2006 09:22 PM

also, jehan and i have not discussed the ending place...at all. as far as i know, this point is still up for debate. if anyone has input, please post. we can not promise to accomidate you, but we will try to do what the majority prefers.

**Kengerex07** · 07-04-2006 09:26 PM

Two more of my friends may bring their cars... One more 05 wrx and a 06 Legacy GT 2.5. But they are a definitely maybe.

**kevlarcupid** · 07-04-2006 10:01 PM

Carrabas, Outback, Silver Spring are all in roughly the same price range, too, so that's sweet. There are a couple mid-fast food places (Noodles & Co. and Chipotle) and there's a pizza joint, and a Ledo's. The problem there is that we'd overrun them if we all just rolled in there. I tend to think it'd be nice to have a place with a few tables set aside for us, and Silver Spring has the biggest variety of food - since some of us might be Vegetarians, not like seafood, love red meat, whatever. But, totally give us feedback 'cause we'd love to hear it!

Also, if you're brining friends to ride along, boy/girlfriends, etc, tell us so that we can plan for everyone. We don't want anyone excluded.

In terms of the drive, Tom put together a great plan. A limited number of left turns to lose people, a lot of places to pick up stragglers, and a bunch of amazing roads. We're gonna have a blast.

Only drawback to a "nice" place to eat is trying to pay the food bill. Most places hate splitting checks. Any suggestions on how to work that?

btw- Please edit my roll call to include Seeing Stars + unknown # of Bel Air crew

unfortunately for whoever feeds us, they are going to have to split the checks. i have never done a meet where we had a "treasurer", so everyone is going to have to fend for themselves on that point. in a place like silver spring mining co, the tables in the bar room are smaller (4 people) and they also have booths to seat 6, at best. if we dine in smaller groups, but are all in the same place, we should be fine. that will keep each food tab small. i would not recommend sharing checks at all with bar tabs. that could end up bad, lol.

**302@12psi** · 07-05-2006 04:16 AM

Unless it changes I'll be bringing the GF along so 302@12psi + his better half.

I also am not a fan of splitting checks. The gf and I will probaly share an appitiezer and drink water. When we got out with friends it seems like someone is always paying 20 bucks while the other person pays 10. Splitting checks isnt that hard to do if you know in advance anyway.

the dealership was involved in money laundering and other mischievious sh!t. They said that i owed 7 grand more....3 weeks after i bought the car. They were wrong, so i was gonna keep the car and take them to court, but it would be a federal case lasting mny years, and i really wanted nothing to do with a long court process if i dont hve to be.
Thats pretty much the down low, the guy's name is Mark Kowalski, there is a public address by the fed attorney(i think thts the title). the dealer is Mark Motors.
pretty interesting, he is now serving 10-12 in the federal pen.
Later,
Chris
