Mitch, two thoughts...

secondly, the car must be white
carry on!

That looks good, Mitch. When I think of California that's how I envision it.
And I don't think you want to do that, Noel; it invites discussions that you don't want to have with authorities in places where it isn't legal. Crossing international borders, for example- A US border guard would take one look at it and start asking rather pointed questions, and even admitting smoking pot (and breaking the law) when you were waaay younger could get you on the no enter list as a possible felon. We cross the border into Point Roberts, WA almost weekly during the summer (in-laws own a house on the beach) and it doesn't take much for a border guard to decide you are undesirable. And once it's done, it's pretty hard to reverse, as these guys have the authority to make these decisions. Trying to appeal to superiors that it's the wrong call is generally a waste of time.
PS- What Will said; also, it should be

I was being facetious.
Noel, when you cross the (southern) border, wear a Dos Equis t-shirt, once over, you can put your SOC shirt back on. No problema!
When you cross the northern border, wear a Neil Young t-shirt, again, once across, put the SOC shirt back on. Pas de probleme!
"I was being facetious."
Glad to hear it!
I listened to a lot of Neil Young as a punk, back in the day.
I still like him. The dude can't carry a tune in a bucket, but maybe that's what I like. It seems-- I don't know-- "accessable".
I second that
Can we take a poll on possible dates?
I drive mine "occasionally". Bout once or twice a week at the gas station. 5 gallons at a time. How many refueling stops between Malibu and SLO?
Make the tires shorter and it will look lowered. Just sayin'...
Al, out here, we need enough clearance to get over all the old, discarded surfboards on the PCH.

I'm thinking June 9-11. I've been in contact with Scott 'SLOFUZZ' Cramer. He is checking with the hotel to confirm availability.

OK Terry, just reserved a room for Stan:
Mitch,
My name goes over the left pocket. The logo over the right. The GIANT logo goes on the back.
Do I have to tell you guys everything?

Stanley Poopiehead it is!
Vince and I cant make it
@Former Member , Anand, and I just had lunch. Teby and I are all in for that June 9-11 weekend. That allows me to go to an awesome fundraising event the weekend before and to see all of my West Coast Brethren and any East Coasters that have the courage to come over to our side of the map.
or leaf at least!
I can just see myself walking around with a pretty cool "West Coast" shirt with "Poopiehead" over the pocket. My Street Rod Friends would appreciate that.....They already know enough NOT to trash-talk my "Volkswagen" motor since I scared the crap out of "Hot Rod Charlie" on a little local ride last Summer.
But then, I suppose I would "fit in" with you Left-Coast guys, after all!
Gordon - The "Poopiehead" Speedstah Guy
^ That's the stuff, El Gordo.
Gordon, if you come, you get more than just a shirt.
For any east coast dudes who make the trip, we'll throw in this handy windshield ice scraper imprinted with the event logo - absolutely free!
Ok, that's really, really mean, Mitch; extremely funny, but still mean
IF GORDON COMES ILL DRAG MY BITCH VINCE TO THE EVENT
Stan Galat, '05 IM, 2276, Nowhere, USA posted:I've driven across that desert (SLO to Las Vegas) in my speedster (top down) with my wife in the right seat. She was chipper when we left SLO, but by the time we were winding through Bakersfield, it got pretty quiet over there. I tried to point out the airliner graveyard in the Mojave Desert, but she was having none of it. I was pretty sure was going to beat me to death with a tire iron before we rolled into sin-city at about 7:00 PM. It was still over 100* when I got in.We still joke about it sometimes when we're trying to pick a fight. It was a dry heat, though....
That's pretty much where I am with Donna now. I asked her the other day if she even liked riding in the speedster. She looked up over her glasses, long pause, then shook her head no. "NO" people. It was brutal.

But we are a CC!! In any case I was just kidding trying to get you all interested and moving in a direction leading up to.... a design on a shirt - and I like what I'm seeing. Keep it up!
Cory - I like it too!

I'm pretty sure "Poopiehead" would definitely get you in trouble with most any outlaw car club in the area.

And here my darling wife just suggested we consider driving across Canada this coming summer in the Speedster. I guess she's a keeper.
Vince said he would reimburse all East Coast guys costs to come here up to $2.00

After a decade with this woman my mind went immediately to divorce - and I'm not even married...
To be clear, Jeanie loves riding in the speedster.
For two hours or less.
Here's the way we do long trips: I drive crazy-fast/ crazy-far. She takes the minivan to an airport and parks it. She gets on an airplane and flies wherever we are going. I pick her up at the airport, and we begin the leisurely cruise. After a week or so, she gets back on the airplane and flies home and I do another bonsai run.
It works for us (as long as I don't deviate from the protocol).
I guess we all have our strategies. Mine is simply to drive at a reasonable rate, but that really kills me...but I guess it's worth it. If I want to boot it, I take the car out by myself.
