Don't worry, there's plenty to do... like watch us drink!

[OhioGrandAm]

I cannot this year, money is not coming in fast enough.

[Sweet98GA]

As it sits right now, I can't even get Thurs or Friday off and my car prolly won't even be ready so I'm thinking that I won't be there... sry Kelly

[Bouchie11982]

[99GrandAMSE]

... ah yes, that one is much better!! :lol: ... "Lords of the Lobby!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[red98grandamse]

... i may wind up having to bail this year:( my car went down last night, and Im trying to figure out why. I lost alot of coolant, then it stopped leaking. So I get to figure out why. Plus, while looking for leaks, i found a torn cv boot. This about a day after losing my horns and having a window regulator crap out. So we'll see how much money i'll have to see if i make it up.

[99GrandAMSE]

Got my fingers crossed Paul ... borrow a car and come anyway :) :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]

62 people and 37 cars :)

[red98grandamse]

well i just put coolant in it, and its holding it.. no clue why.. Im waiting for Rix or someone to reply to my post in the problems section. lol. The horn I dont give a damn about, haha. but i need to get the cv joint done, and figure out why i dumped half my coolant, which is no longer leaking.

[99GrandAMSE]

... then it's settled, fill up the trunk with coolant bottles and drive to Albany :lol:

[red98grandamse]

haha, i just filled the tank, and let it get up to temp, and it didnt leak out or over heat :???: so its gotta be just a t-stat.. but if not im majorly confused.

[Sweet98GA]

i didnt see that pic kelly... its X'ed out. Yeah I won't be there this year... the car wont be done in time, and I can't get those days off now. If by some miracle of fate that I get the car back, i'll beg and plead to take friday off... maybe take 1/2 a day or somethign, i dunno... The show / shine is friday this year right?

[thomas uzarski]

[99GrandAMSE]

See you then Thomas :)

[Big Joe]

Tom your only comig for one day? dam!

[99GrandAMSE]

WOO HOO ... we're up to 38 cars and 64 people!!! :)

[Sweet98GA]

jim- The problem i that I already took off that day, then un-took it off a couple weeks ago so that I could take another day off so that me and Dustin could do my interior... so she'll prolly know... lol

But my bosses are nice people, so we shall see what happens... Like I said, it's gonna be last minute

[red98grandamse]

Im going to be last minute as well now.... I replaced my thermostat, started it and no leaks.. so im thinking all is good.. take it for a ride, and it started leaking again.. So i went to the nearest place I could find to get it checked out, and found out that my water pump is shot. So my car is at the dealership right now getting a new pump. along with almost 8 hours of labor charges on a 200 dollar part:(

So if i make it up to Albany, it will be just for the show and shine, and probably the night. So friday morning into saturday.

[99GrandAMSE]

... I don't care how long you're there for Paul, just be nice to say HI ... same goes for you Gus :)

[red98grandamse]

well its only a little over a 2 hour drive for me, and im sure i can afford a tank of gas to meet some friends... even if thats all i can afford, ill be up.

I might be taking myself off that list. I'm thinking about trading my GA in 'cos I've spent too much on it (repairs, not mods) the past 2 months

[Bouchie11982]

yu can't trade the car in AFTER the albany meet? even if you trade it in now, you can still go to the meet.

[inferno]

Manny1117 im not even going in my GA. but i will be heading out fri morn and driving back at night

[99GrandAMSE]

[red98grandamse]

[Manny1117]

I traded my GA in for a 2006 mazda 6. It's pretty nice. Haven't decided yet whether or not I'll be coming.

[Ralph]

I'll be coming up on friday night after work

Yeah... well this year its missing Reverse, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Overdrive... Won't get very far with that. But luckily I have a ride down, so I will be there minus a car and all my toys (have to pack light).

[Big Joe]

I say tow the car their

[JMILLS]

I fail to see any use in that, unless someone there has a spare tranny and some tools... lol.

[Big Joe]

Never no man. :D

[sunrunner_pei]

No worries Joe, Jason and Beth are gonna be ridin' in style. :glasses:

[99GrandAMSE]

... yeah, he decided to ride in a little less style than he would have been in if he had of road with me :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

:slap:

I have better music. :rockdude: :band:

[99GrandAMSE]

... you ride may 'sound' better but that doesn't mean you have better music bro ;) :lol:

[TheTrader]

I am jealous.... I would love one of those, but only if you could activate by the month or week.... costs too much for the amount I drive... I take my bike to work, and walk around town, so the car dosent get enough use to justify satelite radio

[Big Joe]

U can get one and walk around with it u know

[JMILLS]

I don't think they are fully portable yet, XM tried but I got terrible reception with their unit. Sirius is supposed to have a fully portable unit out sometime this year. My unit is able to be moved from car to car and to the house, so thats good enough for me.

[GILSGRANDAM00]

kelly u got pm about the meet
