BTW....I really appreciate this. You have no idea......Both of you guys.

 

Sorry man I meant 263 through the link.. I can get it in about 3 weeks..

 

Did you see what Dave is talking about?
If not hook me up for $159 I can wait for a few weeks. Three is reasonable for me.....at that price.

 

I am sorry but apparently some1 switched the number 1 and 2 button on my keyboard.. My price is 259.00 the website had it for 263.00..

 

I guess I might go witht the one Dave recommended. I will make up my mind in a few and let you know. Seriously, thanks for doing this.

 

just put in the order last night for the radar. I should get it this week. man I'm really getting ready for this.....get crackin guys.....

 

New toy came in.....Beltronics RX65 radar

 

You will have to let me know how you like it man.. I think you made a good choice..

 

I passed on it, only one of us needs to have one anyway. I decided to spend the money on a nice, big, shiny, air compressor and some aur tools.

 

Aur Tools.
Time for paint jobs...
I will def let you know how it works Sam. I just finished reading the manual. Now time for real testing

 

Right now I'm a maybe, I was kinda discouraged of going since it is a long drive. Plus Its the same weekend as Chicago's HIN, I know, its pretty much the same thing like last year but I gotta give support to my car club members. So I won't know till about a few weeks before hand. But right now I will start to save money just in case.

 

yea, im not gonna know untill a few weeks before hand. and on the radar detector topic, i know the V1 is the most expensive out of all of those, but i love mine, and will never switch to anything else no matter what you guys say, because i like the arrows, and the bogey counter, lets see your bel tell you where the radar is coming from, and how many radars are actually hitting you(for example if you drive next to a jewel, and there is a cop right after it)

 

I know that my Passport can be set to expert mode where it can have up to 5 radar bands all displayed at once..

 

still doesnt tell you the # or direction

 

You are right..

 

Damn you ducky....
Xander I respexct your decision, I hope you make it though. trust me there will be plenty of other show in which to encourage fellow team members. Besides, the team looks to be pretty disorganized...........

 

Hey just to let you guys know, someone told me that they got a $600 ticket for going 10 over the speed limit in Texas, but not sure cuz i asked one of my coworkers that lived in Texas and everyone ther drive 20mph over the speed limit, so im not sure who to believe, maybe my buddy wasn't a lucky lad thru Texas or maybe cuz of his Illinois liscense plate.

 

$600 for 10 over?!?!?!?

I'll call on whoever told you that.

 

i cant believe that.. no possible way for anyone to get a 600 dollar ticket for going 10 over

I found this.. It says that if you are caught speeding more then 25 over, then the fine can be anywhere from 200-500 bucks!

 

So on our way to Maxus, we can go 90 mph (assuming 65 limit) and pay as little as $200....or up to 100 if the limit is 75 if we get caught.

90 (or100) mph + Escort 8500 = a quick ride through Texas! Wooo Hooo!!

 

Out of curiosity....has anyone been checking out the Texas part of the forum. Afterall, we are heading there....

 

I've been checking that forum and they don't have any info, except 1 thread about some Austin guys caravanning to the meet.

The best info is in the Maxus 2005 sticky thread in the General Forum.

 

Anyone have a time fram in mind in which they would like to get rolling? I would recommmend leaving at 4am on Wed. that way we have the whole day ahead pf us. I know some people reather night due to less traffic. Tell me what you guys think.......

 

are you talking tues. night/ wed. morning or wed. night/ thurs. morning? just to clarify...

 

Chitwista and I are planning on leaving the Chicago area about 8 AM on Wednesday morning.

 

I was talking about leaving wednesday morning. I was thinking of leaving a lil earlier that way we hit less traffic from people trying to get to work. When I did the trip to Texas last year we left at 4am, and got to there our destination at 8:45pm. We were in Texas at bout 7:00pm. Texas is quite big

 

True.. The good thing is that I usually take 294 to 55.. Which goes away from the city meaning away from the traffic, but for you guys being in the city I can see that.. If you want we are meeting near the intersection of 60 and 94.. You guys are more then welcome to meet up..

 

Yeah, a small caravan would be cool. I'm planning on stopping around Springfield MO Wednesday night and then getting to the meet area Thursday afternoon.

Chitwista is planning on driving straight through, I think.

 

Yep.. This is correct, I am trying to get there by wed night..

 

I will roll with you Sam......I don't mind going off track alil. as long as I avoid the city.......I want to drive straight through it too..... Dave is going to be followong too.

 

Sounds good to me.. Well we already got 4 cars.. So that is a good start..

 

Make that 5, maybe. My bro might join us in his pearl white max. I beleive you have met his car

 

So is this the biggest caravan leaving from Chicago?

 

Right now it's the ONLY one leaving Chicago....so yeah it's the biggest one, too!! Going to join us?

 

come on Brad...I know there still some time...I'm still trying to convince Xander and a few other guys. I think Slimer said he might be up for it too...but I haven't seen him post in a bit...........

 

Well I'm in! A smaller group would probably attract less attention anyways. Maybe I missed it, but why again do we wanna get there Wednesday night? Dont the activites start on Friday?

 

I think I was the only one that is adamant about getting there on Friday, just because my wife wants to spend time with her mom that lives in Fort Worth. I know that Blues is going to stop about 1/2 way. So if you dont want to drive all of the way through, there will be an intermission..

 

I was originally planning for Thursday, but I also have uncles down there, and I thought it would be nice to go sight seeing for at least a day.........

 

I'm planning on stopping Wednesday night in Springfield MO. That's almost 2/3 the way to DFW. I was figuring on getting into DFW sometime Thursday afternoon. That would give me a chance to drive around a bit and see some sights. Not sure what time stuff will start on Friday, but if it's not till later afternoon, there would be more time to tool around. Probably have to wash the Max too, after the long drive......
