I'll see what I can do, man. I would love to take all of you plus Guini, but I have to see if any of my crew mates are going. My van will seat 6 people plus me, maybe one or two more if we really want to squeeze.
I should be able to go.

If I can afford it (money johns).

But two months seems like enough time to raise that kind of money. As long as it doesn't cost my parents too much they'll let me go.

Dunno if I'm going to this, after talking to PB&J I don't know how big the turnout is going to be. I don't really want to drive all the way to Georgia for less than like, 100 people.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of how much gas would cost for each person in a car of 5 people?

just like ballpark. Because if it's closer to 50-60, i'd be a lot more likely to want to go than if it was 80-90.

when we drove in my car to atlanta from orlando, it took a tank and a half of gas to get there, which was a 7 hour trip. Id say that was probably about 19-20 gallons of gas, which is about 50 bucks , so like 100-110 to be safe going there and back?

note my car is a V6 jetta

So to answer your question while simultaneously bumping this thread.

It'd be 20-25 dollars per person in a car of 5 people.

Yeah, I propose we do a huge carpool thing with like 2, 3, or even 4 cars full of people ready to **** in Georgia.
Despite our reputation for being a state of incest crazed, cousin f*cking hillbillies, **** is still indeed illegal. And not all our police officers are drunk 24/7 and/or too busy shooting beer cans to do anything about.

All in all, probably not the best proposal you've ever had.

:laugh:

This is now the How The **** Are We Getting to TO4 Thead. Juan let the changes be reflected in the topic.

In my car, I've got me Rock and Juan. Ian is apparently not coming any more.
In Frames car, there's him, Colin and Andy. I believe a few others are maybes as well (Dop and someone else?)

There are several seats left, from what I can tell. (At least for me, I can take a minivan ~7 seats or my car ~4 seats.) I'll be leaving from Gainesville, so anyone who wants to ride from there can just jump on my bandwagon, I just would like to know in the relatively near future.

the thing is, I probably can't get to gainsville cuz Colin's dad took me last time...so MAYBE i might have to go with Frames, who lives closer to me, considering there is any room in his car. If not, Thomas i'll try my best to get to G-ville.

merry x-mas eve everyone!

Well if there is a car leaving from Gville, and a spot open in it, there's almost no reason for me NOT to go to this...

Does anyone know what the turnout is expected to be? And when would we be leaving/coming back? I have Fridays off, but I have class again Monday afternoon (I have my schedule set up for long weekends).

OK, in order of appearance, I've got
Me
Juan (maybe) -- please try to get things figured out Juan!
Dennis
Joe
Louis
MeowMix
Pat

That's 6-7 there, although I don't see why another carload couldn't drive up. (There are several more people with cars in Gainesville now.)

Pat, turnout will be pretty good, it'll have most of the traveling smashers from the SE, and several out of region ones as well (Some Canadians, MW, and NE). Also looking at the schedule for possible leaving times, we could leave around 7:30 AM on Saturday or we could leave Friday night, we'll probably leave Friday night. Getting back will depend on how tired I am, but I'm pretty sure we'll be back before Monday afternoon. Even if we aren't back by then, you'll only being missing 1-2 classes at the beginning of the semester, so it's not like you're missing too much. In other words, you should come!

All right, that settles it, I'm down for this. BTW, I'm cool with taking on some of the driving time if you're comfortable letting someone else drive your car. I have a lot of experience driving a van, too.

Insurance on my car only covers me as a driver, I'm not sure about the van, but it's my folk's. Plus it's only 5 hours from here to atlanta, so it's really not that bad. As long as other people are awake and talking with me, I've got no problem with driving.

All right, cool. I didn't realize it was only 5 hours! I was thinking it was like 8 or something.
