Right, I forgot you have family down there. I think I might be able to do wednesday. I was trying to save vacation days for some other things. Hell, the 8th might work....

 

Yeah just let me know.. I was thinking of getting down there earlier so Desi can spend time with her mom.. Bluesbrekr and I are talking about meeing up around 8:00AM to head down.. He is probably going to stop a little more then 1/2 way through, but I will just keep going.. Let me know if this works.. Or if you want to meet up..

 

I'm putting in my request as of right now.......

 

Thats what Im talking about..

 

That's the plan. Anybody else want to meet up at that time and start heading down there? I'm planning on taking 2 days to get there....will roll into DFW Thursday night.

 

Yeah sorry, I'm not going because of family and money issues..Though I did always want to eat one of those steak, you know how you always see those doods eating em and none of em could ever finish them? I once did that when I was 8, and yeah, I hate the whole thing.. What part of TX anyway? Hmm I might go if we drive through Kansas tho, I have a gf there..(Yeah I have gfs everywhere)

 

Those of us who are considering flying, also note what airline, etc you are flying so that we could maybe meet up.

 

Very good point, I would want an extra day in case of traffic, etc. Then again, I don't plan on driving the speed limit either

 

I don't think many of us are planning it either.

 

I might, 100mph at 4000rpm or so in 5th can't be that good for fuel economy. I need to know when exactly we'll be heading back? Will we be back Sunday morning/noon or are you guys aiming for a sunday night return? I need to know to be sure my buddy comes along.

 

I am coming home on the 15th..

 

I'll be coming home Sunday probably, unless there are more activities going on, or if people wanna hang out. In that case, I'd head out Monday morning or something.

 

i'm planning a monday morning return.

 

Dave, you and I can return when ever your buddy needs to be back. I know I have to be at work on Monday at 8:00am, so you do the math..........

 

Depends on what's going on Sunday. Might start back Sunday afternoon if nothing's happening. Otherwise I'd start the trip back on Monday.

 

Alright, I'll let him know. Who's gonna have a radar detector? On the way back either Hector or I will need one so I guess it's time to spend some $$$ Hector.

 

I've got a Passport 8500. You can head back with me if that works.

 

I'll also have my trusty passport

 

Make that 3 of them..

 

you're right Dave....time to use the plastic again........ I need one anyway. I do appreciate all of you guys having one Dave, you forget to remind me about the I-Pass.

 

Hector if you want I can probably get you a good deal on one through my work.. Just let me know what you are looking for..

 

The thing is I don't know much about detectors....I prolbablby need one with good range in the E-Way. I really don't speed in the city..........I greatly appreciate this.........

 

No problem man.. The 8500 is a great unit but it is kinda costly.. If you are looking for something more afordable I think I have access to the BEL or Whistler brands..

 

Price ranges please.... i don't mind paying if it's da $h!t...........

 

I can get you the Passport 8500 for like 250.00 shipped.. It retails for 300.00.. The other ones range from like 100.00 to 200.00.. We get a better deal on the stereo equipment as you know.. But can try to get a break for you..

 

I'll be getting myself one of the newer cobras. I've been in a car with them on a few long trips and it worked surprisingly well on the speedyways, but were retardedly sensitive if not set to city mode. I'm probably the last person in the world to need a radar detector, but for this trip it's better to be safe than sorry.

 

I'll let you know Friday, which one I want Sam. Thank you much!!!! Gotta see my paycheck I am going to get one though....no bull. Sam, this summer I might am looking to upgrade my entire sound system. Keep me in mind, I wnat to know if you can help me with the installs.

Guys, I know we still have some time until the trip, keep reminding people of this trip, and bring more along. Caravans are sweet

 

I think you already know the answer to that.. Just let me know man..

 

I'm down for the passport.... how do I get the money to you?

 

I am checking my vendor to make sure they have it in stock.. I know they have two out right now.. The one with the red display and the one with the blue display.. I want to see which they have.. In the meantime I will look around online to see if you can get it cheaper then what I can do..

 

Thank You...let me know when you need the dough....you the man Sam...

 

The red and blue are the same except you pay $50 more for the blue LEDs.

 

You are correct.. I forgot to mention they also have the SOLO S2 which is cordless..

 

No blue LED's for me then........Cordless would mean I have to charge the sucker before hand kinda like a cell phone. NO?

 

It uses two AA batteries.. It has a built in energy managment system to make sure the batteries last for a long time..

 

I think I rather the chord.........

 

I found it here for 163.00 and it would ship in one to two days..
http://www.shipdog.com/product.asp?i...PORT8500X50RED

My vendor could get it but it would be 159.00 and take MUCH longer.. Sorry I cannot help you more with this man..

 

See how much you can get the BEL xr65 pro for, it's pretty much the best detector out there. Best I found was $220.

 

werd Sam, I agree with Dave. Can you check and see how much you can get the one he's mentioned. If not 163 is pretty sweet conmpared to retail. The link says $263. Anyways, how long would it take to ship to me through your man. We have until May at latest......

 

Keep me posted on the Radar Detectors as well.
