OK, let's face it. If you are reading this, you are not just an owner/operator of a somewhat offbeat fuel miser. For you, my friend, it has gone much further than that.

You are suffering from an addiction to Weird Little Foreign Cars. More than that - you're proud of it.

If you are going to the trouble and expense of traveling to Nashville, might I suggest a visit to what may very well be the North American epicenter of WLFCs: Lane Motor Museum at 702 Murfreesboro Pike. First (and so far only) road trip in The Little Red Devil consisted of picking up my father-in-law in Paris and scooting on down so's he could witness my uncontrollable drooling (when I started dating my future bride I owned two vehicles - a 1947 Dodge and a 76 Lancia Beta coupe. He knew right away what a complete whack job I was).

Anyway, 7 bucks to get in and the only barricaded vehicle is Sam Posey's Can-Am. Check out their web site. Weird and wonderful stuff. BTW, I don't work there.

I'm just an addict. Like you.

Anyone else wondering if Caveatipse is going to show up with a SMG?

Ha, I wouldn't be too surprised...but I'm sure he'll introduce himself as someone else from a nearby town so we will probably not know it's him.

ChinoCharles · 02-26-2009, 08:39 PM

Right, then he'll ask if WE got the plastic dip stick.

dvlnblkdrs · 02-26-2009, 11:30 PM

No, it is not insane. It's as normal as you buying stuff for your car

And this why otakus say "Anime... crack is cheaper" LOL

Stop overs

Unless I'm traveling with someone else, I'd prefer non-stop
Which days are you looking at?

SIPNGAS · 02-27-2009, 01:32 PM

personally, I'd rather be in a hotel closer to downtown so we can walk and/or stumble there and back and have to drive further to the meet.

bikegerm · 02-27-2009, 04:15 PM

It may be a little more expensive staying in the hotels I posted, but I can promise you'll have a lot more of a "Nashville" flavor in the downtown area than outside of town. If ya'll double up it won't be so bad.

I used to stay south of town when I would visit just because I'm a broke ass kid, but I'm down with whatever the majorty rule decides.

I'm broke too...whatever we want to go with! I just want all of us to be there. And all being in the same place would seriously rock.

Rain · 02-27-2009, 05:22 PM
