I'll be leaving from Hoffman Estates to head down to Steve's Xpndbl3's house for his caravan. May have another car with me as well. We should meet up and cruise down to Steve's.

Re: Thirdgen Fest '08 caravan: North

There will be a caravan heading down from Milwaukee, Sat morning.

I will be having a party at my house friday night and I have some room for people to crash if needed. Heading out from Milwaukee around 9 am so we have enough time to wash the cars when we get down there.

Sounds good to me, we can figure out a time and and place when things get closer. Could probably just wait on an on ramp and hit it when you see us coming. LOL

Re: Thirdgen Fest '08 caravan: North

Probabaly head straight down, but we go down earlier so we have time to hit the car was before going to the show. You tend to get bugs and road grim and stuff on the way down there.

Re: Thirdgen Fest '08 caravan: North

there's those quarter washes not even 5 minutes down the road from my house if you would be interested in joining up with us as well. I usually blow through $7-9 in quarters to wash the car and make it look perfect at one, luckily they have a change machine. Just something to think about.

I hate getting all the dust and dirt on the top of the rear bumper after you just wash the car and drive it for a mile.
