You can count me on this trip. I went once back with my old del Sol and it was a blast!

I live in Oxford Ohio right now but im from KY so I places to visit/crash/eat all the way down.

Ill be driving my brand new 2007 Si so if anyone wants a ride or to follow just let me know.

Where is Oxford in relation to Akron area?

I am looking for someone to follow down, just hope I can get off work that weekend.

***Shinobi*** · 03-19-2007, 10:07 PM

okay so guys, seriously, i'm from MN and do you think a 18 hour drive straight would be okay with the 07 si's? or should i drive like 9 sleep at a hotel and then drive the other 9 the next day. Because if i'm comming i know i'm going to be comming with my wife, bro, or pops which can all drive and very capable of making a 18 hour trip straight.

edit: what if i was running a sc by then? would 18 hours straight still be okay?

slicknick · 03-20-2007, 04:13 AM

I think you would be just fine at cruising speeds.

If you are cruising, you aren't boosting.

I drive to take my sister to school sometimes, 8 hour round trip...have done it many of times easliy in my SI..even when it was 90, air blasting entire time.

You would be able to make it in less time, mapquest is usually high.

I hope to be boosting by then too, says 9 1/2hrs for me...with boost = about 6

Going down there on May 14th with my GF to check it out, (only time I get off school and work lately). Will see how the drive is, should be nice...I like to drive.

***Shinobi*** · 03-20-2007, 10:25 AM

aww i knew it could take it haha, just needed a little reasurrance. thanks. now i just need to grab someone go to with me on the road trip

***GETxERxDONE*** · 03-20-2007, 06:12 PM

guys..just wanted to give you an idea if yall didnt have it already...get some painters tape (the blue stuff) and tape up the front of your cars and mirror to keep off the bugs and debris. and it just peels right off..imma do it on all my long trips from now on

OH_KY07 · 03-20-2007, 06:20 PM

Not really sure where Akron is at...I just moved to Oxford but im close to Cincy. If you look up University of Miami Ohio....thats where I am at :)

slicknick · 03-21-2007, 12:28 PM

I think I am going to get a front protector to throw on for the trips

If I just got the full nose mask and threw it on for the drive down there and and back, would I be able to take it off while I am there? Anyone have one, I don't know how easy it is to pull it on and off.

***ohiocivicracer*** · 03-21-2007, 12:33 PM

i might do the tape... it would look funny driving down with a blue front end tho :-P

HOPEFULLY this time my windshield wont crack... a 2 hour trip to BGSU ******* rock hit it

i was so pissed.

***Shinobi*** · 03-23-2007, 12:18 AM

Sweet just got my wife to say yes if I come :)

I'll put you on the list. You can look at the "Confirmed and Interested Members" sticky to see where all the interested people are from.

This is Midwest thread but you can start your own thread about the Mid-Atlantic region if you would like.

Tom1222 · 03-31-2007, 08:25 PM

I am very interested in joining you guys for a trip down.
I am in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Keep me posted.

**Cookstar** · 03-31-2007, 09:52 PM

Glad you're interested Tom!

Now I get to color in Indiana on the map!

***jpik2003*** · 04-14-2007, 05:23 AM

Put me down as a "interested member"

I'd love to make it out there, and escape the horrid IL roads. I'll be sure to have an update as the date approaches.
