The Breeze had a little blurb about the show in the paper today; I've heard rumors that there will be photos and perhaps a story after the show!

Quick note: I've heard about at least one or two of you planning on trailering in a car etc.; if you are planning on bringing a support vehicle of some sort (truck, trailer), PLEASE show up early, before 11am and ideally around 10:30 or earlier so that we can position you in a way that your support vehicle doesn't take spots away from others. Thanks!

I was working with an editor on getting some of my pictures in, but apparently there was not enough space this time! She said hopefully they will be able to cover some later events--

Yeah, the sports section is looking to do what will amount to a feature story on the club and what we do. I'm not sure if they're going to try and cover the car show. She expressed more interest in something like AutoX or track events. It's definitely in the works though!

While changing out valve springs and blending in the hood scoop, I managed to crack the windshield with a tool.

I might come down with one of the kids to check things out. Maybe I'll show the Integra, it's bone stock which makes it very unique.

hey just heard from Ciro that he got hold of an elise, but had trouble posting on here. He wanted to know if anyone has a rotary or access to one. In exchange for using it he will help you clean your car up.

**Goodspeed** · 04-03-2009, 11:51 AM

Steve, that sucks...you should bring it anyways, our VP will be there with his broken windshield :lol:

Ryan, good luck on finding a rotary...I don't know of anyone personally who has one...

Are dogs allowed?

I don't see a problem with one (I love dogs) given that they are allowed on the campus as a whole. If he/she is people-friendly just make sure he/she is on a leash and please be attentive!

lgtoncoke · 04-03-2009, 12:43 PM

yeah He is just a puppy and he loves people =) and I basically figured he had to be on a leash.

puppy? can you say chick-magnet?

brings me back to the day when i thought about a rent-a-puppy business to be based on the quad...

lgtoncoke · 04-03-2009, 02:06 PM

^lol, great business idea...until you need to find a permanent owner for said puppies

HAULN-SS · 04-03-2009, 02:55 PM

would utimately fail for the guys that rent them, because they would have to tell the girls they met how Fido got hit by a bus, and thats why he didnt have him anymore

that was the flaw i found - i love dogs too much to actually start something like that

telling the truth doesn't hurt Tongue

ps - i'm very excited about the show

PDenbigh · 04-03-2009, 05:47 PM

I'll be bringing at least two vehicles from the JMU Alt Fuel lab:

- A bio-diesel powered trike, and
- the JMU SAE Mini Baja

Possibly an electric scooter or electric ATV that we converted if I can find time and space!

That is in addition to the XR. Going to be an early morning!

fiveoh2go · 04-04-2009, 08:51 AM

Definitely have another Terminator coming in from Germantown MD, possibly a couple more....
