well. its going to be a pain if i cant rent a hotel. im only 19. ill probably just sleep in the supra at a rest stop or something. how far is sacremento from vegas? ive got friends that live out there. probably is going to be too far of a drive.

anyways can i get someone to rent a room for me and my friend and we'll pay for it?

i suppose ill end up sleeping in the car though. ill have my indash dvd unit in and ill bring my laptop and my ps2 and i'll rock out and drink some dr.pepper! lol.

sleep in your car? Don't do that. I'm sure there will be someone 21+ who will be willing to room with you. Going to Vegas to sleep in your car sounds like a really sucky situation. You have alot of time to plan ahead and arrange a room.

[OneJoeZee]

Post your situation in your regional forum and I'm sure things will work themselves out by October

 

[Nick M]

amen!

hey, im in des moines. would u plan on taking i-80 east because that goes right through iowa and ive got my car and hopefully Lee_ma61's 2jz-gte mkii we could tag along and have a fun little caravan. hopefully i dont bhg

its probably cheaper to fly over but what the hell, who wants to be at SILV without a SUPRA!?

Be careful on I-80. That late in the year, when you go west of Denver into the mountains it could be snowing hard. It could also be 70 and sunny. You just don't know until that day.

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

ugh! i just mapquested it and its showing up at 20 hours and 14 minutes for the one way trip! talk about insane.

i might fly. im not sure if ~55 hours of driving is good for my car in a 4 day period :-\ we'll see. ive got more time to play with some ideas and make some money.

 

[Nick M]

You have the ultimate road car, a luxury GT and you are going to fly? Like Rich is going to do, I drove from Toledo, Ohio last year and had a great trip. About 2000 miles one way. You have it easy.

 

[mk3supraoz]

wish i could go but was the point im not 21 till next year

55 hours of interstate driving with the threat of snow, BHG's, tire blow outs, idiots on the interstate, cops, hotel room... and gas prices. we'll see. sometimes money does play an important part.

ill do the math for you quick JUST for gas.

one way trip: 1421 miles @ 21 mpg

1421miles / 21mpg = 68 gallons of fuel
68g x $2.60/gal of gas = $176.xx
$176 x 2 = $352 [round trip]
misc gas usage in las vegas is another $30
$352+$30 = $382

gas total give or take based on gas prices = $400
-------------------------
other misc potential costs/expenditures:

Hotel room in las vegas? = $not cheap
Random low profile z-rated tire blowing out? = $115
getting a ticket for no front plate in iowa = $85
getting a ticket for window tint on the front windows in iowa = $93
BHG? = $price of a hg and bringing along the tools
still havent included costs of beverages and food and souvenirs = $75

making it to SILV07 from des moines and back = priceless!

-------------------------------------------------------
anyways to top it all off. here is a link to www.orbitz.com with a roundtrip flight from des moines -> las vegas is just around $235 - $250 when all is said and done http://www.orbitz.com/App/ViewFlightSearchResults?retrieveParams=true&z=6514&r=k7&z=6516&r=k9&lastPage=interstitial

once again though. id have to find a way to a hotel and to the events. was just bored and doing the math for everyone.

If this one really goes to 11, is Spinal Tap going to be playing at the show and shine? :biglaugh:

We will be there even if Spinal Tap doesn't make it.

I was gonna say something about Spinal Tap and going to 11 too but IDK how many people would have gotten it

so?

 

[Nick M]

Gas is close to/over $3.00 a gallon when you get near Vegas.

Don't take I-80, and you won't have snow. And don't go if it puts you in a finacial hole. Take your own good advice on that one. BHG?? Maybe someday I guess. :dunno:

 

[ahmedootie]

If i'm up and running I wanna cruise down there...I read someone from PA is goin, chunky is in Iowa...who else from the northeast or midwest is planning on going...i'd luv a 1400 mile cruise ...

 

[Loki]

I'd really like to come, we shall see how the money is looking closer to the event.

 

[PRpimp3o3]

ll be going this year was really fun last year and what the hell if your only 18 you always got the strip clubs :naughty:

 

[lilazni3uoy]

this time i'll show up with a car! maybe 2

 

[Slow66]

I'll be there again this year, car or not.

Keith, if you want me to help out again, im all for it

 

[whenmunkysfly]

wait whattttttttt?
You have to be 21 to rent a hotel?

yea I went to expedia.com and found some pritty good deals then I'm reading the fine print and I see you must be 21 to check into this hotel. Tried a diffrent hotel same thing. I think I'm going to bring someone down with me to check in.
