If I may be so bold to ask, what are you doing for a car?

Now now! Where did you go? Airport rentals? Check out Black and White. Don't know the cost comparisons but what happens if you end up with an Impala?

Got it at Fox Rental, you get what you rent, also the cheapest I've found, always have a convertible coupon. Rented one for a week back during Rennsport week from them, really enjoyed the car.

At Hertz the other day they had Merc Cs on offer. Not exactly a sports car but not a POS either.

i managed to get the hotel to extend the discount rate for reservations through tomorrow. after that, the rate goes up significantly.

i have sent emails asking everyone i have on the list so far to contact chris if you are in the NorCal group and me if you are in the SoCal group for rendezvous times and places for the caravan drive from their respective origins to the hotel on Saturday morning.

we have a great group already, and may have a couple more dropping in

this is going to be fun

Bob called and twisted my arm. See you guys there. Is there an award for worst paint? Someone keyed my car this month.

hiexpress.com still has the room for $155.

to date, we have 11 confirmed 968s, 3 people from the east coast, and a total of 20 people. there is a fair chance we will have 1-3 more 968s.

i am working on the tour list and fun run route now.

Jeez that's twice in two days! Ok let me reconstruct that errant sentence. Due to product unavailability I have been forced to rent what has been identified on this forum by I believe a male gender type as a chick vehicle! Lol

I wish I could come down. I just recently discovered a fine California Cab Sav, Fox Glove from Paso Robles. Its a little difficult to get here, so I'm jealous.
Have fun.
