I am a trucker by profession, and they are indeed called chicken lights. The more the merrier is the rule out here, not to mention if you got that kinda money to put into the truck then you can afford to be a big one if you want to. The p,,sy light you are referring to are the fog lights BKA *** lights. Unfortunately, this is the way they identify each other on the road. Sorry bout the thread jack Kevin. time to get back on track.
We do have some active females here in CL...so be respectful, gentleman. Take it to PM.

So....is anyone going? I'm an almost definitely not....unless there is some miraculous caravan of about 10 cars going down. Then that may increase my chances a small bit. But a major caravan from the North is something I seriously doubt will happen at this point.
I'm just curious. There were a lot of "maybes" and "probablies" back in July, but I am sure many of those have fallen into the "can't make it now" category now that it's almost here. It's the nature of life...we're always so 'hopeful'.
Hameed, you still trying to make it? I think PJ is still going, since he's down at VA Tech.

It is too long of a drive (over 15 hours and that does not include time for rest/bathroom/food stops). I cannot subject my family to this long of a drive even if it is broken into two days. Our butts (so called iron-butts) will be just too sore........
I hate travelling by myself on such a long drive so that is out of the question also.
I was also offered a flight down to go by myself, but cannot take that offer either for other personal reasons.
I will definitely make it out next year when it is shifted closer to the north.
It will be one heck of a meet and I will miss you all.

Hameed, I totally understand. It's 11 hours for me, and without ANY northeast company, it's a longgggg azzzzz drive.
10???? You aint goin' then. 
I'm still going to try and make it myself.

It's still up in the air for me. I was driving my car around this weekend and that broken motor mount is making me think twice about being that far away from home. But we'll see how the week plays out.
If any NELOC ppl are still coming down 81, i will try to meet up with u all even if i can't make it all the way down to ATL. I know how good the NELOC pit crew is... just in case
. But again, we'll have to see what happens this week.

Plus if you caravan with others your a lot less likly to get tired. Not to mention there will prob be passengers that can drive if needed. I'm bringing my cusin with me for that purpose.

But really, I'm still a long shot. So, you keep your plans. If I can make it, then I will try to leave Thursday night and drive about half way. If not, then my only alternative is to leave Friday morning, around 6 or 7 and drive all day.
Those are my only two feasible driving options for an 11-hour trip.
I'll keep y'all posted. Do what y'all gotta do....if we hook up along I95 somewhere, that's cool. If not, no biggie....

WTF? Why are y'all driving in the middle of the night on Thursday (or is this Friday night into Saturday morning)? LOL And are you planning on driving straight through to Atlanta once you pass thru DC at 1:30am??? That's AT LEAST 10 hours. I just can't do it in the middle of the night, man. What's the rush? If you pass through around 6 or 7 am, I can do it. Any earlier, and I just can't drive 11 hours straight starting in the wee hours of the morning.
