[billytheman1188]

no 2 way radios for me, i dont know anybodys phone number on here, and if i brought one of my stock rims just incase i get a flat, where would i put it during the show?

[[ion] C2]

billy what's your phone number lulz

i'll bring a two way radio or two if i can find mine

[Oldsman]

OMG...........Billy go spend the $20 and get a 2-way. PM some of us for our numbers so you will have contacts in case something happens or you get lost. Do you have the factory spare in your car? If not and you bring your stock then at the show put it on the ground and slide it up and underneath the rearend of your car so nobody sees it and it is out of they way and then after the show slide it out from underneath your car and then put it back in your car so you don't lose it.

Does this help you or do you need more details

I saw blue ones at Walmart today :lol:

OK all joking aside, I paid $24 for a pair and it included the batties and charger and belt clips. However I tried them out and the charging base didn't work, one of the tabs wasn't on the spring and would only charge if you pushed down on it.

With that said, buy a set, test them, and you'll have fun.

PS check you're inbox

Let's not forget if anybody is bringing donations for prizes, bring them too. If anybody wants to buy a yard tent, we could always use another one. I have one, but Turkey isn't comming this year and he had the other one. These can be some coin, but if you are going to use it only at ASS shows, it will last you a few years.

I'm going to bring an extra chair. BRING CHAIRS. Linda will be 5 months preggo and I don't want her standing around.

If anybody can bring a cooler or two. I know these things are huge, but the more room we have for cold drinks, the better. Walmart is just past 96 which is 1/2 mile from the hotel. They have those throw away ones for $1.

The anti-bug candles work great, but we need more of them. I have 2 huge ones. They're cheap, buy'em. Pick up bug spray too.

[rowdygls]

Money for u-haul....check
tools to remove front bumper and any other body panels....check
V6 alero returning with S/C....check

I wish I could have gotten a full tune to get rid of some issues but I should be good to go.

[Oldsnut]

I have a tent in anticipation of Turkey not being there Ken.

[[ion] C2]

@rowdy: You have a supercharger?

[Redog]

^^ Sweet!!

The more tents the better, according to accuweather.com right now it's going to be hot and humid. Temps in the 90's ;)

[rowdygls]

C2;361973']@rowdy: You have a supercharger?

no, just making fun from a few years past.

We need sheets to hang off the sid of the tents to block the sun.

[jackal2000]

the hotel has those already ;)

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

for Ken and Richie: train horn, and be prepared to charge the compressor/fill the tank/whatever. ;)

********bring your game for golf and go-carts********

[cherrington17]

there really isn't much "game" for go karts. not all karts are created equal... just scope which is the faster one. :lol:



...then put ken into the wall with it.



oh, and would someone remember to bring bengay for the old guys. :p

[Redog]

I'm bringing a game that I made.

It's an actual game and becoming popular. It's called "washers" or "Texas Horseshoes"

The boxes I made are a little rough, but very sturdy. Gonna need that with 2.5" washers getting thrown at them.

[tnalero99]

I am gonna bring a 10x10 pop up if I can find a way to get it into my car comfortably for the trip, possibly in the front seat since it is too tall to fit in the trunk. Will not have the supply of sunblock due to no supply in our company store but plan on things like lotion and germ-x for all.

[billytheman1188]

factory spare is under my sub box, and my sub box isnt easy to take out.... lol. so i will just bring one of my stock rims.

yea i hate having a huge box in the trunk taking up space.....but I LOVE MY SYSTEM. its hard to just go back to stock speakers and have no bass......

[jackal2000]

pretty sure my box is bigger than yours :p

[billytheman1188]

how big is it? i have 2 12s and i have about 10in of room in the trunk.....maybe a foot. lol

[FrankTheTank]

no 2 way radios for me
if you would have posted that earlier, i'd have sgiven you some. i got some for free a few years ago on the day after thanksgiving, and i've never used them except to see how far the range was.

[lonnie]

Why was my post removed?

Whoever removed it could you pm me please?

Don't even bother, and you can remove this too!!

[Cliff8928]

Why was my post removed?

Probably because it was irrelevant and/or you aren't going to ASS.


Oh, and I should have a spare 2-way should anyone need it over the course of the weekend.

[Oldsman]

Why was my post removed?

number 1 you never been to ASS

number 2 your post was crap

number 3 you aren't coming to ASS

[lonnie]

number 1 you never been to ASS

number 2 your post was crap

number 3 you aren't coming to ASS
Ok so that means that I can't post? Whats up with that? I didn't know that there wasn't any joking allowed on here. So its ok to have a ASS vs Boobs thread but when I add a joke then its a problem. Get Real! Half the people that are posting may not even show up, I think you reason is garbage. But whatever!

[lonnie]

Its relevant cause it was a joke, but I guess that's not suppose to happen on here? No one else thought it was a problem!

Oldsman likes deleting posts from his threads, to control who's allowed to post. He is the ultimate decider of what is "crap" whether or not it affects everyone else who reads this thread in such a negative way that it must be removed.

Like I said its what ever I just don't think the reason behind it has ground to stand on. I wish I lived out there so I could go but unfortunately I live on the east coast, so thats the end of that. It should have said in the title only ASS attenders post please.

[lonnie]

i live on the east coast too:rolleyes2:;)Are you going Billy?

[zoL]

Are you going Billy?

I live "easter" than you, and I went last year. :P

[[ion] C2]

ya billy's going

[Silentalero]

Btw richie, did you ever do the 220psi horn setup?

im gonna get the horns on the mdx by time for this. I'll also make sure i bring the tow hitch just incase somebody pulls a silent :lol:

[rowdygls]

I'll also make sure i bring the tow hitch just incase somebody pulls a silent :lol: or a Gregg.

Fixed and knocking on wood.

[Silentalero]

Fixed and knocking on wood.

:lol: that was such a long ass drive


btw BILLY, get phone numbers to as many members as possible incase something happens. Seriously, you have no idea how bad you can get screwed over on a long trip like this.

Well for one it is in the ASS section not off topic. If we were to let everyone talk about different things in every thread who the hell would want to read the crap. People like to start off talking about brakes then go to boobs, to computers, to politics in the same thread........which is BS.

Yes Chris it is my thread and I do have control and if i feel something is off topic in a section that is not off topic, I have the right to clean the thread.

Whether or not you feel it affects you or anyone else

Yup :)

[Redog]

East coast, not an excuse.

700 miles one way and 1/2 the trip is spent in PA.

All this extra stuff bring brought is great. Kinda hard to fit all this stuff in a 2 door Alero for 700 miles ;)

now you know why i do 2 vehicles. Everyone thinking their gas is bad hell last year i brought the Ho and the Durango but this year will have 2 vehiles again but no more 16mpg on the highway out of the one.

[Silentalero]

:lol: ya this year im gonna go for a best mpg in the mdx and see what i can get. I'm hoping to hit 25mpg + if we stay around 65 or so.

[Oldsman]

that is good for SUV.........try top the 16mpg for the durango....LOL. Actually the best MPG for ASS was the hyundia @ 38mpg that year.

I got 31mpg out of the alero

So everyone make sure you bring enough gas money and Marc maybe bring a extra gas container.

[billytheman1188]

Im hoping my baby gets around 28-30.... right now im averaging about 25 city and highway. im excited about all the highway driving, then i can see how many MPG i get on one full tank ALL highway. yeaaa

[[ion] C2]

do 60MPH on the highway if you can, supposedly it's drastically higher than 70-75. like a guy with a Z28 got 26MPG at 75 then 38MPG at 60 on the highway

[Bad99Olds]

i was getting 30mpg on my trip to florida a few weeks back doing right around 75

[Silentalero]

yea, 60-70 is usually the sweet spot for cars. I know the mdx is listed 23 hwy, but ive gotten 27 on the expressway if i feather the gas at 65

[Redog]

I was looking at renting a flat bed tow truck next year. I'll need on with a King Cab or Crew Cab. Not finding too many places that rent them. I figured this would be the cheapest way to go, if I tow.

I've changed my driving habits drasticly. The last 2 tanks were 21.4 and 21.6 combined city and highway. My highest before that was 20.9.

Keeping all tires with about 33 to 35 PSI, windows up, a/c on, all accel I'm keeping below 3000, but I've been keeping it all at 2500 or lower, and as soon as I get to my location, I park the car quick and turn off the motor, put the car on "acc" then turn off everything ;)

[jackal2000]

how big is it? i have 2 12s and i have about 10in of room in the trunk.....maybe a foot. lol

it's pushed all the way back.

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/10/web/718000-718999/718375_6_full.jpg

did i mention that i am cheating this year? my car will be towed to western michigan via budget truck and car dolly since me and my wife are moving her friend back up there. then i will drive it from there, so its only ~2hrs in the alero.

[lonnie]

I live "easter" than you, and I went last year. :PWhat was the price of gas last year. Maybe one day I haven't had a real vacation in like...forever. Anyway Oldsman I get what you are saying but I don't have to agree, all and all Yall have fun!

[Nate's Alero]

I live "easter" than you, and I went last year. :P

i live even more Easter Than u ( i think) and im going next year so there is no excuse why somebody would not go just because of their location

[zoL]

i live even more Easter Than u ( i think) and im going next year so there is no excuse why somebody would not go just because of their location

I'm going next year as well. A New England caravan? I think so.

[[ion] C2]

there is no excuse why somebody would not go just because of their location

time and money != infinite

[zoL]

^ No shit, haha. Have fun telling that to Marrko, Nate's Alero.

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

I would go if I had the money. shit, I'd bring my dad that weekend and catch the Nascar race. But bills take priority. Sucks. I'll start saving now for next year. Along with for mods.........:(

[Oldsman]

[billytheman1188]

6 more days till im in michigan!:coolio: and i will be driving there with the new headers on.....oh yeaaaa, haha. I think i might have to turn the music off for a few hours just to listen to my car while im driving;)

[Redog]

Maybe just a few mintues. At highway speeds it might hum you to sleep ;)

The Alero always puts the wife to sleep

[tnalero99]

Whats funny about the checklist is my car got real loud the other night on my way home from work and just found out that the flex pipe needs replaced as well as the engine mount. Both will be done on Monday just in time to make the drive on Thursday, thank god it is being taken care of now, I wouldn't want Scot to burn his ass again.

[p1mptress]

Everytime i pop my hood I have to look at the hotel room number that I stuck under my hood and think of lansing. I will miss being there this year but having the house, the tonsils being taken out, and being out of work b/c of the surgery. I am going to be strugling to pay the bills this month. But have fun!! Take a ton of pics to post up here.

[Oldsman]

[Bad99Olds]

[jackal2000]

houston we have a problem. the plan was for my car to be towed behind the budget truck on a dolly. too bad my car doesnt fit on the dolly. car sits too low. even if i allowed my air dam to get broken it would still hit the bumper cover by the fog lights. :(

[jackal2000]

[meadus101]

Safe driving everyone. Take it easy and keep it under 3000. Works great for Ken.

Hope you guys all have fun. Take lots of pictures, and I hate you all since I can't be there. Though, I'm more "Easter" (which should be Eastern) than all of you. As I'm at the most Eastern Point in North America.

Have fun all. unless I win the lottery, I doubt i'll be going to ASS ever.
