caravan from my house this year again?

Last year had some of the northsiders stop at my house for some pics and to BS before heading the "slower" way down to denny's avoiding the highway. Just wondering if anyone would be interested in this ?

Also last year the majority of the group was over an hour late to my house, this year I'll be leaving well before then. Sitting around waiting on the stragglers sucked.

Re: caravan from my house this year again?

Seeing I was the only firebird last year in your caravan. And you guys put me in the back of the pack.
Take your caravan and #$%&&& heheh j/k

Thanks

Out for sure. Waiting on other people/businesses is making this build take so much longer than it should have.

Re: caravan from my house this year again?

5 days.....so hit me up if you are going to join in on this. So far no one has asked for addresses or a meeting time.

which would be: 10:30am I will be leaving my house, so if you want to BS beforehand then show up at 10am -ish.
