Ouch....Well, so what do we think fellas?

 

I still think we should do it .. I mean there are plenty of nice strecthes of roads somewhat through the city ...
We may not be a WOT very often but its a "for show" drive ... so drive slow and show... some of us are very good at that..

 

i say party, bbq, party!!!!!!!!!

and i've been dying for hot dogs ever since i finished the 36 pack leftovers from last time. party on sunday evenings are the best, just b/c u know u have a short work week ahead of u. maybe our "director of pr" can set it up. please!!!

 

Director of PR is on it~~

 

So are we ditching the drive?

 

If we are going to get a good deal of participation then I would say we still do it. I know that through the direct city things are going to be rather confusing and congested. We have other routes, GW Parkway, FFX County Parkway, and so on. So I do believe the drive is still possible, but like I said I wouldn’t expect anything spirited. Remember we are showing our appreciation for the veterans, not on our way to a winding road or a test and tune. With the amount of people that are interested I think we should keep it a go…

I am curious though as the pros and cons with Sunday vs Monday… anyone want to chime on this?

 

I would definately go if it were on a sunday... Mondays are definately no go's for me... but i think the majority would rule on this one..

 

Well, I still want to do the drive (especially since I just spent $50 on flags for everyones cars). While I would agree that the city proper might be difficult to navigate, a cruise that ended up in Arlington Cemetery might still be nice. Who cares if it we spend a fair amount of time in the lower gears. You're right, the point is to get out and have a little "Z fellowship" on the roads and pay our respects to our fallen protectors. I say we drive.

My only reason for wanting to do it on Monday is that the Indy 500 is on Sunday and it's one of the few racing events a year that I set aside time to watch (even if it is open wheel NASCAR). Tony Kanaan is on poll right now with a 227 MPH lap. Sheeeeeit.

 

hot dogs!!!

 

Well me and Chris are def down ..
I am providing hot dogs and beer the saturday prior..anyone that is interested follow the Mid Atl Ill be posted sooooon!

 

whatever you guys decide to do, I will be up in the city (w/o the Z only if I somehow find an engine core in good shape in the next week) regardless to visit my buddy at Arlington.

 

can I drive my blue cavalier? haha. If there's a part-a, as Juan puts it, then I'll be around. But, I'm too embarrassed to be rolling in a pos while being around a bunch of z's.

HOT DOGS!

 

if it comes down to it u should be able to ride in one of the cars and be the camera man. just like riding in bens car.

 

!!!sgod toh

 

Me stupid...I have hot dogs on the brain now Chris. That's a good idea, didn't think of it. Hmmm...all depends on what day and what time now, since my brother is in town for Sun. Hopefully I'll be around.

 

OK.. Julie and I are in ... But I gotta know exactly what day we are planning on .. Sunday?

Kelly.. I'll definatly throw some $$'s your way for your expense on flags

 

So what are the finals plans, meeting places, route?

 

Ask Ben ( Sinsu433) he was putting this one together.




Ocean City for us guys that realized the city was going to be a traffic trap !! lol

 

I was wondering the same thing...not that it really matters anymore, I won't have my car back by then.... I get it back next Thurs.

 

If you all think you're going to be able to drive into DC down near the monuments, plan on sitting in absolute gridlock for 2+ hours. Traffic simply doesn't move, and I'm pretty sure there will be significant street closures. Having lived only several blocks from the Vietnam Memorial, I can assure you that there is no room to spare. Sorry to be a downer here guys, but it's the honest truth.

I may be available to meet up with some of you all (the few that I know... haha), but I probably won't be able to bring my Z since it's near the 36K mark and it needs several warranty issues addressed.
