Agreed! I know you, shneegle, Texaz boy, and I will be at the Thursday night meet so if anything we can figure it out!

[Husker BRZ]

Okay everybody! We are only a few days away!
@Shneegle @carbonBLUE @Dustin @Ramster @Texaz Boy @ZachTTerrell @Rulin

I know shneegle,carbonBLUE, Texas Boy and I will be at the Thursday night meet. We will be discussing and finalizing the plans for the drive down on Friday! For anyone who doesn't make it I will post up what changes were made if any. So be sure to check late Thursday night or first thing Friday morning in case anything did change! I will tag everyone when I post about the changes so hopefully it notifies you!

OK theirs been a change of heart at work ill be leaving around 3 from downtown fort worth driving like a mad man to try to catch y'all this is going to be awesome

[Extreme86]

When ya'll figure out your ETA, let me know. Getting over to Boerne Toyota at 5PM is a bit of a challenge with rush hour cross town 1604 traffic IMO. Seems kinda early. Whereabouts is the hotel ya'll got in mind? Zubit and I were considering dining out somewhere as well but, he won't be out of class until after 6:00. There's a Mattenga's pizza (more of a mom & pop place - fresh ingredients) over in my area on FM3009 near Walmart and it's really good stuff if you're coming down IH35 and want to stop for food before heading to Boerne. Picked up a Supreme there this evening and it was awesome!

We should have a rough idea late Thursday night after our local monthly meet. Otherwise I'm sure one of us could update this from the road on Friday since most of the timing will depend on our luck with traffic lol

[Ramster]

Hey guys,

I would count me out of the caravan unless something changes in the next couple of days. We're planning on taking 281 straight to Kerrville instead of taking 35 and having to cross san antonio and drive back up north passed Boerne.

Since I'm terrible and can't tag anyone... Extreme86, Shneegle, Husker_BRZ,
I might get lucky and get out of class early on Friday. We've got our assessment going on that day and the hope is that we make it out early... the instructor is game, but it really just depends on us (the class) tomorrow. So, I might be able to make it to the Toyota event, but don't count on it too much... if I do I will be killing the FR-S/BRZ trend... in lieu of that wherever the food meet is at I will be driving my Mustang... and hoping there isn't much traffic.

Friday is going to be my last ride in her while in Texas. I'm losing her this weekend as she is making a trip back to California for work and storage. That being the case I will probably smell like gas and exhaust fumes so... hopefully that won't bother people that are sensitive to smell. Unless you don't want her there [insert sad face] in which case I will still show up and destroy the trend.

I think we can handle the smells and mustang of course if we have to lol But once we discuss our plans tonight for our drive down and finalize them I will tag you in the post as well, so you can check back late tonight (after 11) to be on the safe side or early tomorrow morning. I'm not sure if we will have a dinner place picked out but we may have a few options that get decided on Friday on our way down since it may depend on our route and/or any traffic we run into. Or any unsuspected stops like we had to make last year after we had somebody hit a pretty big piece of debris on 35 and damage their car.

Either way at least one of us will try to keep everyone in the loop on what's going on!

there is a bbq place down the road from the meet up place that has an area big enough for all of us to eat at, Rudy's BBQ. just throwing out a suggestion

That could work.

After discussing things tonight we are going to stick with our route down 35. For dinner we plan on going to the Rudy's that is just down I-10 from the Toyota of Boerne.

For everyone who is meeting at the meeting point for our departure we plan to be ready to leave shortly after 12. THe parking lot we are meeting at is a kroger so if you need any last minute things you can run into kroger and get it, there is also a shell gas station across the street for those who need to fill up before we leave.

So if you are coming please be there as close to 12 as possible otherwise let us know on this thread if you are running late or won't make it so we know who not to wait for.

Ramster I know you won't be there since you'll be taking 281, just let me know if that changes!

Thanks everybody! It's finally here!!
