I think the organizers of the expo are making arrangments for hotels

im a long shot maybe. gonna have to really look at my budget. I had money set aside for some modes, but maybe it will be better spent on this trip. plus i'm not sure i could take the time off work. maybe an all night drive down thursday for me.

This was actually done in a caravan of 8-10 cars. Front and rear car both had V1 radar and every car had a radio. We never went over 90 but stayed near that speed almost the whole way.

Hey has anyone else noticed that you cant set the cruise above 90mph on these cars?

What kind of oversight was that?

I think it's smart. If your going that fast you should be in full control of the car. However on my old car 105 was the cruise limit. But it was German.

PMok · 03-18-2013, 08:31 PM

yeah I'd like to see what attractions they will offer... think autox is already mentioned. Would like to see if they do a track day, bbq, musical guests, club night, model shoot haha. If they do all the above I'd really find a way to make it! LOL not like Vegas doesn't have enough diversions as it is.

Im in

BlaineWasHere · 03-19-2013, 02:46 AM

I'm pretty interested.

PMok · 03-19-2013, 03:01 AM

LOL it would be pretty damn ironic if the dealer in LV that we end up gathering at, is one of the notorious blacklisted dealers... Subaru of LV. But I'm guessing not.

BlaineWasHere · 03-19-2013, 02:24 PM

I'm pretty excited about the autoX. If that's legit I'm in for sure!
