Sounds good to me. If it's Toyotas only I noticed that the Enterprise right down the street from me has a bunch of Camrys...

It's getting late for fall colors though. Maybe a first snow run?

I'm in Maryland now, Pa is about 2 hours away from me. So far home has been ok, I haven't lived at home in like 5-6 yrs, so it took some getting used to. I haven't done anything with the truck, the supercharger and all the ˟˟˟˟ to go with it is sitting in the garage, I just don't have time for it right now. Once I take my boards in March, then I'll get back to it.

Hopefully in April someone will have a run out to paragon or maybe something in Virginia. I'll probably be up in chicago sometime this summer to see some friends, have tom put in lockers, and regear, and hopefully make a trip out to badlands .. well see. But you guys have fun in the snow.

yeah let's make a decision soon so I can rent my Camry to fit in with the crowd.

Seriously, though, let's plan something... it's definitely not a fall colors ride now unless there are still some leaves in Lafayette. I assume this will be an off-road trip? Badlands again or try something new? There's a park near Terre Haute

edit: How about Natural Bridge, KY? http://www.state.ky.us/agencies/parks/natbridg.htm

The Jeepers did a Grand Slam there. (Jeep version of a 4R Jambo... not officially sanctioned by Jeep unlike a Jeep Jamboree)

Hey, are you in Lafayette? I'm about 70 miles straight west of you. I've got relatives in Lafayette.

I'd be up for a different place than the badlands if you know of any...

No... but Mike (INSR5runner) is.

I'm in Bloomington... the good town with the good people and the good school.

If I do it, I'm going to ARb it front and rear. Not going to mess with the SAS thing. I just picked up a mercedes C280, for my daily driver. I really wanted a porsche, I just don't have the time to go around hunting for a really good one, and the benz was just too sweet of a deal to pass up. I'm really considering in the spring selling both the runner, and the benz, and then getting a really nice sports car.

If you end up going with the detroit locker there is a dealer just outside of chicago that was offering good prices, I tried to do a group buy on it this past summer, but other then gadget no one seemed interested. oh well
