Thirdgen Expo 2015 Caravan Thread. Meet here to discuss travel together

Coming from north, south, east or west. This is for discussions on arriving to the Expo together for those that are interested.

There are a group of about 5 of us leaving from South Bend IN together. PM me if you want to join the parade.

I am just west of Chicago in Berwyn but would love to meet up somewhere and cruise in with people if anyone local is interested. Or anyone from out of town if you are stopping along the way.

That's too bad. Stuff like that is funny. You lose interest, and then something happens, and then "snap", you're interested again. Or at least, that's how it goes with me sometimes.

When that has happens to me, I change it up a little and try something new with the car. When I got tired of the show stuff, I started running Autocross events, which turned into open track days on a real road course (which is addicting as hell). I also got out and participated in events like the Power Tour and Camaro Superfest. I've met life long friends on the Power Tour. Fight the urge to get complacent. Get it out and run it! Meet some new people at some new events! Life is short!

I've been through that with the car. When you can only dedicate maybe 1 or 2 days a month on the car, and you run into parts shortages when you know you need something, it begins to feel like a waste working on the car.

The GTA over the past 3 years has gone for a full drivetrain rebuild. About the only thing I didn't change in the past 3 years was the rear axle.

Brakes, Engine, injectors, steering, transmission. And each of those had their little problems. I had to re-route my front brake lines in their entirety just to fit the long tubes (makes me wish I hadn't sold my shorties at times).

The cam, the heads, the everything. But I keep working on the car, one day it will be done.

Thankfully, for all other days there is the Focus ST to keep me entertained. If I really wanted to and had the money to spend (that I wasn't already spending on the TransAm) I could just do pads and brake fluid, then take the car on any road course I wanted.

However, as its my daily driver, and the TransAm is not finished yet, I won't spend money on the Focus. Which is begging for a small turbo upgrade.

If you're still going, a couple of us are meeting at the Kwikstar in the new Menards parking lot on Brady. Leaving from there Saturday morning at 6 am.
