I'm going from Grand Rapids, MI to Dayton, OH one of these Saturdays to pick up some SHO seats, and was wondering if anyone would either be able to help me so I don't have to travel so far, or at least maybe a place to stop along the way to break up the trip a little bit? It looks like I can go through Fort Wayne, and I know there's a few guys down there. I almost feel like I should be buying more parts if I'm driving so far :)

Ha ha.... yeah, I don't get out much. We struggle to put 6K miles a year on our cars, and that includes a couple of trips to Iowa.....

Kind of have to agree that this would be a "Road Trip" to me too. Joe and myself just drove from his house to Iowa City, IA small stop in Austin, MN and back to Joe's house it was like 575 miles or something like that. Probably the only part of the trip that made it a road trip was driving in everything from wet roads, to dry roads, and to snowy/slushy roads in about 12 hours.

ROAD TRIPS ARE AWESOME!

I'm very curious to see how many miles I get on the '94 this summer...I'm betting 10k-12k.

When are you going Timbo? I may be picking up some turbo Chrysler parts in the Dayton area soon myself.

It's either going to be the 24th or 31st, whatever works better for the seller. He is also going to meet me in Findlay, OH; so I won't be going quite as far south...

If your passing through the Ft Wayne area make sure you give us a heads up. There are enough of us around here I'm sure we could work out some kind of a stop. There is me, Boat, Bubba and Eric. You like "Five Guys Burgers and Fries"?

Looks like that's only 45 mins extra, it would be nice to meet/see some of you again! I've never heard of that burger place, but I will eat anything :) I'll let you all know when I know when I'm making the trip!

Ok, I'm aiming on being in Findlay, OH before noon, which would put me in Ft. Wayne after noon a bit. I will be making the trip on the 24th. Who's in?

I am in.

But bubba won't be able to make it, his son has an indoor bmx race up near Merrillville, IN on the 24th.

Looks like about 90 miles from Findlay to Ft Wayne, so Noon in Findlay is ~1:30 in Ft Wayne.

Thought it would sound good, but I have my f-in-laws 90th B-day party.

I'm aiming on being in Ft. Wayne about 1:00. I have Jeremy's (jayro) number, so I'm going to give him a call sometime after I leave Findlay. I looked up Five Guys and it looks like everyone like them, so it should be fun! I'm looking forward to seeing you all!
