Looks like tomorrow is car detailing day.

I can't promise a clean interior on mine. There's just too much going on with the install. I can't even promise all 4 seat bolts on the passenger's side seat.

Mods make up for dirt and missing bits... I haven't done anything except wheels and cruise control, so I probably should show up in a clean car

Hey darkmoon I think we have the same wheels! Will have to check it out Sunday.

I bought the buns, hoping 6 packages of each dog and hamburger buns will be enough. The stupid body shop had painted my grill the same color as my car so it looks like chicken wire. Going to paint it black tomorrow as the weather should be favorable.

[Astroman]

And the weather if favorable!!! Going to clean the interior and exterior, wax, and paint the grill back to what it should have been in the first place, black.

Well damn. It's gorgeous outside today. Weather man says 72 and sun today!!! The unfortunate part is it's supposed to be 64 and rain tomorrow. Missed the awesome weather by one day! Oh well, it'll still be a great time.

do rock chips count as mods? if not, i'm way behind the curve... No stereo & no mods (other than tints & a scanguage)

I just went through a Kaady car wash. That's about the extent of the exterior that I'm going to do. I'm too busy trying to get the A-pillars operational for tomorrow...

[Astroman]

I don't care if you roll up there bone stock in a base model. It's the thought that counts! I just bought the RS rear bumper from Garm today, but missed out on the side skirts (dammit).

Looks like this is going to be an amazing turnout for us this year, I'm really excited.

[sqcomp]

I'll be at the 78th street Freddy's in the 'Couv at 0830. Got the A-pillars operational. They need a LOT of work still, but they are operational and singing. Now to make the food for the potluck...

[Astroman]

Got the car detailed a bit, and now my right headlight doesn't work (and it's not the bulb)

[talnlnky]

so I just google map'd my drive to both the freddy's in vancouver, and to the Shell @ castle rock. Says they are only about 20 mins apart. So I am a bit confused why you are meeting up in vancouver @ 8:30... that gives you 90mins to drive 15-20miles...

Somebody correct me if i'm wrong, the e-mail I got said the caravan leaves Castle Rock round 10am.

If i'm correct on all this... I might just meet you all up in Castle Rock. The difference is me leaving the house @ 6:30 or 7:30. Staci likes the idea of 7:30 a lot better.

i washed and semi detailed my car today. the weather was gorgeous. i don't know what the weather will be tomorrow down there but looks like theres about 50% P.O.P. but whatever...im used to rain anyways.

i also got a buddy of mine coming down with me in my car lol he's going to brave out the boredom of 10+ hrs of roadtrip, but he said he's too bored anyways.

see you guys tomorrow. i only have 5 hours from now to sleep and have to wake up at 4am to be there on time.

If you are coming from Eugene, Castle Rock is about 46 miles past the Fred Meyer, so it should be 45-ish minutes to get from one to the other. I have no doubt that it can be done quicker but if we are diving as a group, speeds will probably be in the legal range. I think the plan is to leave from the Fred Meyer at about 8:45-ish (since its a group, this probably means 9:00) so we should be in Castle Rock at 9:30 to 9:45 depending on when we actually leave Freddy's. Gives us time to get a cup of coffee and have a bathroom break before the drive up the mountain.

BTW, It looks like its about 170 miles from Eugene to Castle Rock. If you are planning on leaving at 7:30, you're going to have to make good time in order to get it to Castle Rock by 10. I-5 near the bridge into Washington has road work/delays right now so it may add to your travel time. They are working on the weekends but I have no idea how early they start.

[Astroman]

Alright guys I'm off to bed. Might still try to get the grill painted, but might not get to it.

[Thirty-Nine]

Looks like it's a going to be a day full of sunshine ... liquid sunshine. See you soon!
