CHANGE OF PLANS!

Okay guys, HUGE update. I've decided that there were way too many people and places to see in just one month of traveling around, so I've come up with a solution to the problem, which is centered around this:

IPB Image

That's right, this baby is sitting in my driveway RIGHT NOW. In fact, I'm selling my house and all my earthly belongings that don't fit in the RV and I'm going on the road INDEFINITELY! I'll be doing wiring conversions in the RV as I go and I might bring a tig-welder along as well to do on-site fabrication.

With this setup, I'll be able to take my time and travel around the US, get to see the country, live very simply for a while, and get to meet lots of people from the forums and from shops that I work with. So keep adding yourselves to the list, we'll be making our way around slowly but surely!

PS: Anyone want to buy a nice house in Savannah, totally renovated, fully furnished for $159k? How about a 2004 Toyota Tundra 4-door Limited? Or a '93 Lexus GS300 maybe? drtweak@phoenixtuning.com

So there's been a little chatter about possibly having a PNW meet after the rain stops... somewhere feasible for us "down south" in the Salem to Portland area, as well as those "up north" in Seattle. Maybe we should plan it around when you're coming this direction, you could kill several birds with one stone!

Maybe us Houston guys can make things easier for you and be in one place at the same time. I see you need to do some work as well when your here - I have a garage you are welcome to use if you need it.

That is so awesome! How much time off do you have to do all this? I've always wanted to the same thing.

Funny, i've been traveling more around the world than i have in my own home country. kindasad.gif

x2 for Houston. It's a big city but we can all meet up somewhere. If you're doing this close to summer I might suggest doing something at night. The daytime here in the summer can get, well, dangerous.

Depending on when you get out to the east coast, we should probably try to setup another DWG meet or something. That way you can meet the whole east coast crew in one shot.
