Someone may have posted this already. Just thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention. If you're wondering, it was a very fun time last year. I was there.



I'm going to be posting this up everywhere -- for those of you that can -- please post up and tell everyone you know that could attend or even those who know someone that knows someone -- We NEED to jump up attendees!!

Thanks for posting this so early!!! I've missed the last 2 because I find out about them around April 5th or in May.

I am so going to gun forit this year!!!

 

I'm worried about the weather.. I wouldn't think much of it if it weren't for people on other forums talking about it. Whats mid-April weather like? I don't want to go to Michigan if its goign to be snowy.

 

i would go, but its to short of a notice. Besides, my son is in school and i dont want him to miss any.

Next year is a good possibililty.

 

I wish I was 18 years old and snow was the only thing to be concerned about...[sm=shades.gif]

 

welll... snow among other things the $650-700 i figure it will cost me to go is towards the top of the list as well.

 

Usually the snow is gone by Mid March and is in the Mid 50's.

 

couch will be in attendance

 

....the $650-700 i figure it will cost me to go is towards the top of the list as well.

Why so much?

Friday - meals, gas, and room.
Saturday - (lunch is free), gas, dinner, room.
Sunday - meals, gas, no room cause you checked out.

$240 - room.
$100 - meals all weekend.
Gas - up in the air due to fluctuating gas prices.

 

okay, 700 miles there and back, 1400 miles at 25 mpg (i figure conservativly, better to have too much than too little)

thats 56 gallons of fuel.

so figure 60 gallons at $3.50 a gallon

$210 for gas
$240 for room
$100 for food

$550 is still a lot of money for a car show.


EDIT:

$550+$75 entry fee = $625

$625 is a lot of money.. plus an extra few dollars incase I need to fix something.. or a souvenier.
