Fly's Great LeSabre Cruise '07

[Flybrian]

Since excitement(?) over my '76 LeSabre acquisition seems to be building by the day, let me clue everyone in on the itinerary.

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

10:05am - Depart Tampa via Southwest Airlines

12:40pm - Arrive in Philladelphia, meet Camino

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

2:00pm - Arrive in Lorton, VA, board Amtrak Auto Train

4:00pm - Depart VA for Sanford, FL

Monday, August 6th,2007

9:45am - Arrive in Sanford, FL

I will be winding my way from Philly to just south of our nation's capital sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, so if anyone is interested in meeting, sharing a coffee, or just saying 'hi', please book early! I fill up quick! j/k.

Seriously, just let me know because I'd love to meet some of you guys if I can during this abbreviated road trip.

[Camino LS6]

I don't see any reason why anyone "semi-local" couldn't meet up here to send Fly off on his "voyage".

[ocnblu]

Dude, this sounds like fun. Can I come?

[Camino LS6]

Absolutely!

Y'all can get a tour of the barn while you're here.

[Sixty8panther]

I hope I can go.... but I'm broke as a joke right now.

Guess I'll have to land TWO jobs.

[Screaming Trees]

Well, if you come down I-95 through Fredericksburg VA let me know, we can meet somewhere along the way.

[Intrepidation]

I are broke...Fly, since I'm storing your baby for now, maybe you could return teh favor by coming here to visit me and Sixty8?

[daves87rs]

I'd love to....but coming from MI would take a while....

You need to drive that thing this way...

[Delta Force79]

Hey Fly if you come through I-95 through NY, I'd meet up with you for a brief cruise with two 1970's GM boats, your Lesabre and my Delta 88

August 4th, eh? I'll keep it in mind. Would be nice to finally meet you, Camino, and whoever else will get together that day.

You are certainly welcome, Mr. Viper.

[knightfan26917]

Sounds like an exciting trip, Fly ... sure wish I had the time to come meet you, too ... or, that your trip brought you this way .. he he.

GOOD LUCK .

I'm sorry but the State of Delaware is closed those days, therefore I-95 will be closed too. Please go around or wait until we reopen, the choice is yours!

[Flybrian]

Who the hell said I'd want to see YOU anyway?

[aaaantoine]

Sweet, on a Saturday and everything.

If I were making my cross-state trip to the Island (or back), I would defintely try to work something out. Unfortunately, I'm not travelling that weekend, and I'm currently on a tight budget.

[Oracle of Delphi]

He's just jealous because he's locked in his gated community and the guard won't let him out. :AH-HA_wink:

My gated community with one of my previous Grand Prixs in front of my house. Please note my dry cleaning I left in the car!

Lake near my gated community!

[Flybrian]

You forgot the picture of your gate guards interrogating a visitor.

[Satty]

Hey Fly, there is a secret to getting into gated communities. It requires committing a crime or two, but sometimes its worth it. Or just talk to a local pizza delivery guy, if there is an unguarded gate with a keypad, drivers usually know the code. Hell, I still remember the code for one around here and I haven't delivered in over a year.

While I'm located in the area, I won't be in the Philly region on the 4th otherwise I'd drive over to meet you Fly. I have plans to be in Allentown, PA on the 4th and maybe the 5th too. Such a shame I can't meet you - maybe you'll just have to take me along as a guest to the next Saturn Brand Advocasy meeting! Good luck with your trip!

[deftonesfan867]

Of course...I'm down here in rain soaked (14" above normal) Fort Worth...although by the end of the year I MIGHT be living in Summerville, SC

[Drew Dowdell]

I can probably attend

[Camino LS6]

Wow! This is turning into a happening.

[Robert Hall]

Nice neighborhood, Custom-S. I like all the trees... I'm a fan of gated neighborhoods... keeps the riffraff out.

[Flybrian]

And now...

The time is near...

Who will come...to see me?

Or in..... in P-C-S's case.

you still owe me a Dr. Pepper bitch.... don't think I'm not coming to collect.

[Camino LS6]

Everything is a go at this way station. :AH-HA_wink:

[Intrepidation]

When are you supposed to pick it up Fly?

[Camino LS6]

See the first post, Dodge.

[Sixty8panther]

Sig says it all.

On the road in the Tripple Brown Titanic

(ETA: 5:30am July 31st @ Camino's house in Penn.)

[Camino LS6]

I think I'd better get to sleep soon. :AH-HA_wink:

[Cory Wolfe]

Its not happening on this end unless someone is passing by and wants to give me a ride down.

[Intrepidation]

Same for me, unless I win the lottery.

[Cory Wolfe]

Yeah, there's not a single vehicle in our driveway that is in any shape to make a 5 hour trip. Quite sad.

[ocnblu]

I have to do some final confirmation, but I think Saturday's family reunion function is a dinner banquet around 6 or so, so it looks like I might still be able to hit you guys.

You sure you haven't turned into a redneck? You need to ask yourself this question. "You know you're a redneck when? "All 10 of your cars are nothing more than lawn ornaments"!

[Camino LS6]

The LeSabre has safely arrived, and 68 is on his way back home.

Let me know how she is if you get a chance. Is she up for a 1,000-mile drive?

[Drew Dowdell]

You, should take the A-train

If, you wanna get to harlem....

[Intrepidation]

Well, the Cobalt can only be used in New England states, the Prizm is plenty drivable but can't be driven because of the tail light and trunk, and I still don't know what's up with the Intrepid...oh and I wouldn't trust the Shadow do make a long trip.

If Enterprise will let me take teh Cobalt then we may be able to come down on Saturday...otherwise we won't be seeing ya Fly

[Camino LS6]

Seems to run strong, but has a quirk with starting. I think it is a nuetral safety switch (you have to get the shifter in just the right position). I haven't had a chance to check her over, but I don't doubt that a long trip is doable. I'll try to scope out more before you get here.

[Flybrian]

Thanks, I appreciate it, Camino.

I mention that specifically because the Auto Train has been nixed. With two people making the trip (myself and my friend), its more economical to drive straight down...and likely just as fast, too. I estimate 15 hours from our first stop in Alexandria, VA to Clearwater.

Also, if people are intending on meeting me around those neck of the woods, please let me know before I leave Saturday morning. There is a reason why.

[Drew Dowdell]

wait, what is your schedule for the weekend... I have other things going on also.

Arriving in Philladelphia ~12:40PM Saturday. Camino is going to pick me up at the airport. That's pretty much it. The rest is generally open.

Oh ok, I read that wrong. I took it as you were leaving the philly area for FL on saturday morning.

I'm driving out friday night, staying with a friend that night, having breakfast with my great grandfather, then I'm going to spin down to see you guys.

Cool.

I guess you'll be needing directions.

What town are you staying in on Friday night?
