So who's gonna have one of these Motorola radios or something compatible? Ethan's bringing four but looks like we're gonna have more than that. I'm still now sure how many people are coming to this thing. I guess I know of:

Ethan
DrRick
1Sick (?)
Mumbles
Me
DaveGS4 + gf w/NSX
Dex
KayGee
Jazziz

Hey Mumbles, if you get one we can use 'em on the way up. I got the T6400 and it seems really nice (although I can't test it since I only have one ).

I think I'm gonna go get the headset or something for it so I don't have to hold it while driving. If I have that, and since it does VOX, I should just be able to talk to you guys while driving! That will be cool.

Something else to consider guys before the trip:

Simple Maintenace

- Make sure tires at correct pressures
- All fluids are at appropriate levels
- If you haven't had one of your scheduled maintenances recently, and are due, might as well get it done before the trip.

You know, basic stuff that'll take maybe 30 minutes to check and correct if need be.

Probably nothing to worry about, but on a road trip, and maybe some 'spirited' driving, a little extra checking can go a long way.

I would love to meet with some fellow Lexus owners. Should be fun. I will say that if my MO finishes my TT GS before the respective date, you can count me in. I'm gonna have to pressure him some more. Lol.

Headset and NiMH battery and charger ordered for my Motorola. This meet has been a great excuse to buy gadgets.

I didn't break down and splurge on a digital camcorder yet... that would be more than an intake and L-Tuned springs/shocks! :eek:

I am thinking about buying one of those radios. When we moved to Atlanta from Dallas we drove both cars and used similiar 2-way radios during the trip. I took them back to Radio Shack after we were finished with them. Maybe I will buy one and take it back also.

You know, I think WalMart has the same rental policy.

You can expect a quiz on this.

"You cain't change a tar without a tar arn."

All
A petroleum-based lubricant.
"I need to change the all in my Lexus."

Fern
Not local.
"I drive a Lexus... It's a fern car."

Rice
A contest of speed.
"I hope y'all ain't gonna rice them cars in the mountains"

Shovelay
A GM car.
"Nobody could drive a Shovelay like Ol' Dale."

Ranch
A tool used for tight'nin' bolts.

Rectum
I had two Lexus cars, but my old lady rectum.

As of August 21 in the AM... So far we have confirmed (say they're coming, have hotel rooms) about 17 people:

8 Lexus GS400 / GS300
2 Lexus SC400 / SC300
1 Lexus LS400 (Ethan is flying in, no car)
2 Lexus RX300s

S.O.B.s (some other brands) confirmed include:
1 NSX
1 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
1 S2000, Friendsville) 17 01

We've still got a bunch of folks at least as big as the list above with IS300's, couple of GS guys, LS, NSX and S2000s that are not yet confirmed.

I have a couple that I can bring up on Saturday or I can give them to one of the guys going up on Friday if you need them before then.
