Festiva Madness 5 Planning thread

[Oren09]

There are quite a few people coming from the deep South. I'm not sure if there will be a convoy or not, but it may be a good idea!

If I can afford to go, I'd love to meet up with other DFWers and/or pick up people along highway 20.

Made our route. 3400 miles 5.5 days...
No sleep. Stops in washington,nyc,pittsburg,chicago,nashville, louisville, kansas city. And raleigh!!!!!

[Britstiva]

I think we've pretty much finalized our route. 5500 miles, 14 days, 13 nights!

You can check out our route here.

Longest day is the first one: we'll be on the road for 14 hours. Should be able to visit Freshtiva and Gottafesty on the way home and will definitely have the FIT map bookmarked on the phone!

That is going to be soooo awesome when you arrive!! Do you have a place lined up to stay?

You regret getting the 195/45 there more money and when u lower your car on fms the camber will eat your fronts up. I'm at discount right now putting to new ones on the front, backs still have the nipples. $160 out the door for 2.

Gotta charge up my AC for the ride and get my tint done, and buy 195/45 toyos but my money tree is dead at the moment. Does anyone have any fertilizer for it ? Haha

I'm 45 minutes from Huntington, WV and I live in Charleston. You're more than welcome to set up a tent in my yard

[Damkid]

:shock: that is a hell of a trip!! i look forward to meeting you in person though!!

[fastivaca]

Leaving Calgary on Sept 23. The Kentucky stop will be on Sept 26.

[Safety Guy]

Ian, do you know what date you are leaving Calgary? Or will be at your stop in Kentucky (near Cincinnati)?

If you needed anything there, or around Huntington, WV, I could probably be in position to help out (within 2 to 3 hours travel time).

And yes, your trip is insane, in a good way!

Everyone start taking off work now so you cant use that as an exscuse !!! Lets shoot for 100 cars

Doing my part... it's relatively easy to book time off when you're self employed

We've got our passport applications all filled out, photos taken etc and I'm taking them in tomorrow afternoon. Ordered a bunch of tourism guides from a number of states and we'll probably start booking hotels in the next couple of weeks.

Starting to get excited about the trip.

[Oren09]

I would LOVE to come to this.
I can probably afford the gas, but the lodging is what I'm not too sure about.
Also not sure if I'd be coming alone. A nerdy friend of mine also has an interest in Festivas and such and may wish to join.

Is anyone from Texas coming?
I saw the sign up thread but they don't say where they are coming from.
I would be interested in a "convoy" or "pack" from the south/southwest. I drive really slow, though

[Damkid]

within a couple weeks i'll be booking the time off
