Mr.TheEngineer wants to take a road trip...

Since there aren't many local Vegas oppos (I think there's two including me), and because I like to travel, I want to come to your car cruises, meets, bbqs, whatever. SoCal, NorCal, PHX, SLC, maybe even Denver! So let me know of events you are planning and I will plan to plan on attempting to road trip and all.

DISCUSSION (28)

I don't know how far north you want to go, but we're taking the Super from San Jose up to Portland this summer! It's for the national Buick Club meeting, so there will be hundreds of cool cars there. If you want specifics, let me know!

I still want to set a date for a meet in wine country this summer! Just need a few more people to say they want to and then we can pick a date.

Where have all the lightweights gone? > CAR_IS_MI

I'll be in SoCal for my Aunt's wedding in mid-July, and I fully plan on going to C&C the Saturday I'm out there. If you want to meet up, I'm definitely game.

As long as I have advanced notice and have the weekend off I will make the trip.

Maybe. Portland is a bit of a drive back for me, maybe if its over a 3 day weekend or something.

Well that sounds sweet. What about July 21st? Gives you more time before your trip.

Unfortunately no. My g/f's friends started balking about the price of the trip. Her friends chose to go to a Travelodge in northern MI, and she backed out.

No worries, let me know when your going and I will try to get out there. I have been wanting to make an Irvine CC for a while.

I take it you meant June. Really either is about the same, just depends on how that particular week comes into play. Its a little to far out to say yes or no 100% right now but Its a definite maybe.

Woops, yes sorry. And for sure man!

I'll vote/second your CO Front Range (Denver, et al) option, but wait until after June so you can enjoy the mountains on your way from Vegas. Attend the Golden Super Cruise, go to High Plains Raceway for open lapping or an event, attend any one of the roughly two dozen meets/drives on any given weekend day in the summer, catch a concert at Red Rocks and a ball game at Coor's Field, go hiking or biking, drive a 14,000' peak or two. Food's great, beer and spirits are amazing, people are very nice, lots of fun towns.

05/12/2014 at 18:12

It is FL, and no, I will not be making any cross country road trips this year (unless my father sells his house and I have to go back to pull out the rest of my shit thats still there).

Although I will be in Daytona Beach next week...
