[Travis Merrick]

[Jovan Ceklaj]

Hmmmm...thats close to finals.  Do you guys mind if I tagged along?

[Travis Merrick]

its not tagged along bud, its joining in, and yes, of course!! EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!!

[Jovan Ceklaj]

well as long as I'm not in the middle of finals or midterms, you've got yourself one more car in this ol' truckin' convoy.....damn, didn't sound as good as I had hoped :wink:

[Ryan Coft]

i got a buddy coming down with me as well... in my car.. i wont let him bring his NON DSM lol... egotistical bas**rd i am..

i want to see the look on the inspectors face when theres a line of DSM comin through the border... we're all goona get pulled over and searched.... *knock on wood*

damn we're goona have to get up early... me bringing digital camera.. takes movies too! heh

straight down the I5 eh? MEXICO IT IS!

[Travis Merrick]

Actually the border is pretty good going down for meets, North West Nissans went down with a 12 car convoy, they questioned the first person and let everyone else through, took about 5 minutes, heh.  AND DONT BRING FRUIT!!

Can I bring a tomatoe? It's technically a fruit, but I wonder if those border guards are smart enough to distinguish the difference *g*

[Ryan Coft]

OK hold up... lets do the math

We're meeting them THERE at 9:45am

theoretically we should shoot to be there JUST after 9:00... as to give ourselves time incase we get lost...

How many hours is it down there??? :shock:

it's 3 hours to Seattle (approx, at the speed limit exactly)...
*does the calculations of approx when we have to leave*

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Somebody else do the math for me and tell me i'm wrong ...please

[Travis Merrick]

Well one of the guys on the DSMTuners site said it should only take about 1 hr and 45 minutes from the border to tacoma mall.  But im not sure, looks like we may have to leave from here about 6:45am -> 7:00 am, yes im sorry, but its one saturday that we dont sleep in, hell you got all sunday to do that =)

[Jeremy Clarke]

Tisk tisk, :roll:  When I go down there I leave the Rock on the first boat and am I'm in Cali by nightfall

If I were you guys I would leave at six sharp so that you can stop for Coffee and bathroom without freaking out.

If I were an Island guy I would either not be comming because there would need to be a 4:00 ferry or would be staying Friday in Van

[Alex Nazar]

I'm in...unless of course i cant make it...haha, but i'll try to book off work now and not make plans for that day. So count me in! If only like 3 or 4 ppl are going, i might pass though.

[Dave Evans]

Make sure you guys stick together and make sure someone brings a few tools with them. When Troy and I went to Bremerton a couple of years a go, the old 14mm socket and wrench came in handy. Although I did have to borrow a pocketknife from a hippy in a VW van to put an end to Troys ac belt problem.

 2 1/2 hours from the border to Tacoma without going nuts. Average speed of 120k.

[Travis Merrick]

So we meet at the border at about 6:00 am, how does that sound? and hit cruise control at 120km/h all the way down.  Bring FRS radios as well and DONT BRING FRUIT!

[Ryan Coft]

i got FRS's.... and 120? damn my c/c is busted...

i'll have a full set of tools with mostly everything we could ask for.... well.. sorta.. nothing too advanced..

hopefully we can get a few coming down. There's some damn sweet Spyders that are coming from down there.... woot

[Matthew Giene]

I so there.  I hope that we can make this happen.
