Default Well. That SUX

I found out last night I missed the early registration for 2011 Monte Carlo Nats.

Something I always did.

With the price of gas nearing what I gave for the car. I was wondering if I'd even get to go to the Monte Nats this year? That's why I drug my feet registering.

Anyone else think gas prices will affect either their vacationing, weekend get-a-ways, or car show attendence?

It looks like it will mine.

(strange how even someone sneezing in Canada affects the price of gas in the U.S.)

Off hand, the price of gas I don't see preventing me from my vacation plans, but it has an impact EVERY day.....

So, will you be making it to the Monte Nats??? Or are you skipping out??

Hey don't blame it on us. We're getting screwed over on gas prices more than the U.S. is. Regular gas is $5.30 a gallon here.

The price of gas is affecting my travel plans. Especially with the Monte calling for premium.

The NYMCC as well as the NJ and PA and Boston people are still all "in" for the GM Nationals

NMCOA is $35 to join, plus $35 to enter the show, and you need a fire extinguisher

Save Money! GM Nationals is only $30, and there's still time to pre register.
You get to see GM Cars from all years/makes/models
A Bikini Contest
A Burnout Contest
Parts and vendors for signs/tee shirts and other cool stuff
Raffles for cars and an engine and other cool prizes
A Spa area for the ladies
Plunty of food and drinks all around the place
An off-road area to take a ride.
GM staff on hand

Irregardless it'll be a fun weekend which ever you attend! Hope you can still make it out RJ! Keep us updated!

Joe

I already signed up for the NATS but things are still up in the air right now, because I have some things here to take care of and I still haven't booked a hotel for the NATS..... but the GM NATS also sound like a great time!!!!

I think it personally costs way to much for the monte nats, If I do go Im going to park outside. Im not spending $35 to join a group for a day.

Also, hopefully gas does go down quite a bit by summer.

GM Nats is around EVERY YEAR in PA.

The Monte Nats moves around every year, so this might be my only chance to get to it for a while.

Don't try to poach on us Joe :P
