I can bring my little propane grill also if it's needed or more charcoal, I have two bags here. We can get two charcoal grills running at the same time. Hell, I'll bring a wire brush and some grill cleaner so we can have a CLEAN grill grate! (or just steal the grate out of my grill to cook ontop of).

That might be a good idea. One week!!!!

Looks like I'm going cooler shopping in the morning. I seriously doubt if we'll get a phone call and miraculously end up cruising up there in the Celica.

With the amount that's currently signed up, I'd say atleast a few packages.

Well this turnout looks promising. I wasn't planning on bringing THAT many burgers. Laziness may prevail and I'll buy some pre-made (not cheap) burgers just so I don't have to put forth any effort. I'm still trying to figure out how to fit a cooler in this:



Either way, I'm working Friday so I won't be home until 8:30, still have to do all of my shopping, get everything ready to go, and hit the road at 5 am. Gonna be short on sleep already, so I may just go with some store bought burgers (again, NOT the cheap frozen ones.)

LOL @ your crazy strut bar, over compensating for something?

Got a gf here who has a Z now too, complains all the time about the 'room issue'.
You don't have that rear suspension creaking noise do you?

HillBillyTruck has plenty of space for a cooler.....should I bring?

Add me?

Lol of course the rear suspension creaks. Gotta love that Datsun quality! Does your girlfriend have the DE or HR? We're seriously tempted to trade ours in for a 6 speed HR, despite how much we hate the manual trans in Z's.

[navseal345]

Why not a BRZ or a FR-S?

I haven't driven them so I'm in no position to knock them, but on paper they simply are not the car for me.

^ same for me. I need "spin the tires, kick you out of your seat" power, not just handling. I love the look of those cars though, if the numbers were a little higher I would've jumped on it.

HR with that crazy rev match thing...stalled it a bunch of times & looked like a tool doing it...something to get used to with modern manuals.

The 26 grand $ base model will do, with a supercharger/turbo kit for the extra 4000-6000 $, oughta pin you back in your seat pretty good. If that don't do it, let me point you to a 0 miles GTR with AMS Alpha Omega kit......1200+ hp in street trim. GOAT!

[navseal345]

Well... now I cant remember what I was going to say... damn.

not nearly enough.



when I said if the numbers were up, I wasn't talking about the price going up A GTR is and forever will be to expensive for me.

[bloodMoney]

Jordan, I do have a couple of unopened propane cans for your little grill, so fueling these bad boys shouldn't be a problem

[Bitter]

I'll bring it if you think we'll use it.

[Schumacher33]

I will also be joining your group at starved rock. My name is Jeremy and my girlfriends name is Teagen. I'm not sure if we have any tag a longs yet but ill keep you posted. Is there any food or drinks that we can bring to make the event better?

[navseal345]

^^^ Fruit snacks! At least it would make me happy.

[richee3]

Looking ahead at the forecast, I'm seeing a 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms, and 79°. Zach, I think we could take advantage of the wet conditions and have a little drifting contest.
