[92CamaroRS]

help me out guys. id love to bring the camaro to albany this year if you dont mind it. but i need some help in convincing my parents into letting me go. give me some good reasons.

[3 DeeJay]

Tell them.. your going and no matter what you say your going... :lol: worked for me.. :lol:

[ramairgt1]

tell them its a once in a life time deal and you will wash their cars for a year:D

[Artic]

Just tell them its a great chance to meet all the great friends you have made on the board and its once in a lifetime thing.

[Gimli]

Actually it's more of a once a year thing but tell 'em we'll look after you and make sure you don't do anything stupid :)

Have Kelly call yer mom to try and persuade...that's what Night Wolf did. Kelly has a daughter your age so I'm sure he could let your mom know that things will be ok...

However, I don;t think a 16 year old should be driving across the country on his own, that's my opinion though...of course your mom might feel the same way. It's a long ride from Iowa to New York.

[92CamaroRS]

yea that is why i would prolly meet up with some people to drive with.

[Y2KGAGT]

Haha, yeah, last year John had to talk to Rick's mom and let her know that he wasnt going to be partying all crazy like and driving all over after hours. Worked out well.. and I think this year Rick should be able to drive after nine, heheh

I could do that, if needed :)

[92CamaroRS]

ill have a chat with here tomorrow and see how things go.

[GrandAmChick]

Been there, done that (only with Michigan re: GAP). I begged, n begged, n begged.. n said I wouldn't take my car.. I had a ride.. etc etc. Finally my mom felt bad, realized I was probably gonna go anyway.. n I was gonna be 20 in 2 weeks.. what was the big deal??

A bit different for u tho.. since ur only 16.. good luck.

[30thAnnGAGT]

I'd say definately let her talk to a couple of people. When I first starting driving all over the country for larger meets and what not, my own parents were concerend. However, as they began to meet people and see that they weren't all that bad, :) They lightened up a lot. Well that and I had 26 GA's over to my house one day, so they were almost forced into it. :)

[jayhawk]

Very true, Adam. We're not druggies or get into trouble, some people last year had their children with them...the drive is I would say very safe, its virtually all turnpikes through some pretty uneventful landscape; and I can guarantee we wont LEAD you into trouble. Virtually all of us are in our 20's and 30's. I mean, you know how we are on the board, its just the same in person. Except me. Im very oompa loompa like in person. =P

Yeah, have your parents call me if they like. I wont be able to caravan with you b/c of other plans, but if they're concerned (and they must be good parents if they are!)I can speak with them. Not a problem.

[92CamaroRS]

just talked to them. they said they would think about it. i told them i want to know by mid march so i can get things figured out to be able to do it. i told them you guys offered to call them and talk them into it but they said they wanna think about it some first.

[92CamaroRS]

also jay. is the drive doable in one day. i mean i wont need to get a room along the way will i?

[2001GAGT]

That sounds Great Cory!! Now if I can get my money in order I will add my name to the list.

[sunrunner_pei]

If your parents are concerned, you could always have them read through these meet threads to see who you'll be meeting with. We'll take good care of you.

[92CamaroRS]

yea ill give them some time to think about it and then bug them again about it and hopefully i can talk them into it. ill let ya know if i need anyone to call or if i need them to be called. if it comes down to it i might just have them call alot of people but hopefully it doesnt.

[sunrunner_pei]

You can have them call me anytime. You know where to find my number. If not, send me a PM and I'll give it to you. :)

[92CamaroRS]

will do!

Well, we left From Albany on Monday at around 9:00 a.m. and got into Chicago at 10:30 p.m. DO NOT THINK YOU CAN DO IT ONE DAY. Especially if youre by yourself.
