OH and most importantly, I will be going again this year! I throw this event up for y'all to see in hopes that maybe some NoVA scoobys will meet up with my caravan. I know for a fact that at least two Subarus are coming from Virginia Beach and making the trip that Friday before the meet. Anyone interested can pm me here, email me at administrator@gymkhanaforums.com or call my cell at 757.589.7886. P-E-A-C-E

If I had a choice between this and Ft. McCoy Wisconsin, I would choose the car show. But the choice is not mine to make :cry:

The inside of all CIC rooms look the same, no matter where they are.

Well as stated above...

If anyone wants to caravan, you should let me know by next Wednesday so we can take the necessary route. If nobody from NoVA is going, us southern VA people might just skip nova and head right into delaware over the bridge/tunnel.
