I was thinking that we could all plan a big Run sometime this year. Where people from all over, Nevada, Cali, Arizona, New Mexcio and so on can meet and go for a cruise somewhere. I was wondeirng what you thoughts were on it and if you have any ideas on what we could do. I thought it might be fun and we can actually meet other members of the cobalt community.

im considering running (driving the car of course ...... no way in hell am i running ;) ) from sac, cali to jupiter, FL :D

When you planning on driving to FL?

hahahaha i was only thinking about it b/c the wife and i were gonna go visit my grandparents but theres no way i can afford to take like 2-3 weeks off of work :D so it looks like i will be flying :( it would be exteremely fun to make that run tho :D

sounds good but it would be sooo hard for everyone to get together at once with work and family, but shit its worth a try right?

Come to NH and pick me up :D

:twothumbs I cant go this year , But i'm planning to in 2007 . it would be nice to have like 2-3 miles of Cobalt SS/SC's

that would be sick to see so many ss's rollin at once.

Hells yeah! Maybe a Grand Canyon meet/photoshoot. That seems like a fairly central location. Maybe 4 corners? I've never been there.

all those cobalts in the grand canyon hell yea we would scare all the old people!

Grand Canyon sounds like a great idea.. Its in the middle of all of us. Anyone else think a grand canyon run would be cool?

I would be up for the canyon Run , Just would depend on when ? That would give a good excuse to hit vegas while i'm that close :twothumbs

the canyon sounds nice but to the same respect, it may be a bit on the old people side. perhpas a laughlin nevada run?

Thats even better ( Laughlin ) , closer to vegas . Dear old Mom would be P.O'ed, if i was that close and did'nt visit her .. :lol: :lol:

i have personally never been to vegas and wouldn't mind goin myself but that aside I have looked at some pics of the laughlin area and the night life would make for some great pics.

Laughlin is a great place.. It would make the perfect spot for a run.. And its not that far away from everyone.. I know its only an hr away from vegas..

Maybe do a dyno day at RevItUp while we are there :lol:

I was thinking the Grand Canyon because you can take photos in Gran Turismo 4 with the GC background, why not do it in real life.

Laughlin and Vegas would have lots of cool lighting at night. I have never been to Laughlin, but in Vegas it would be hard to find good spots to stop and take a photo on the strip, or around the lights.

What ever we do I will need to know a few weeks in advance, cause I work 6 days a week.

Actually Theirs a lot of spots on the strip that you can pull over and take photos.. I know of a few places that we can stop at. Is anyone free sometime next month? That least gives everyone time to see?

Speaking of Laughlin NV , here's what it looked like in 1981 ..

Wow, Its changed a lot since than.. I'll actually going down to laughlin on monday, So I'll check around and find some good spots to meet at.

The bottom photo is what use to be the original Don Laughlins Riverside Resort .
It has changed alot ,my girlfreind and i went back there last june and i was suprised at
how it changed .

Its actually growing real fast, I remember it when i was about 6, And I went down their last year and was suprised on everything that changed and how much it has grown.

Maybe do a dyno day at RevItUp while we are there :lol:

while there are lots of good places to take photos, there are no real places similar to those in the game where you can actually take pictures of cars

Don't they have it where you can only drive so far up now till you have to ride a shuttle up anywhere in the grand canyon???

Don't they have it where you can only drive so far up now till you have to ride a shuttle up anywhere in the grand canyon???
you can still drive pretty damn close but be ready to wake up REALLY early to do it ... it's not exactly like the canyon is unknown. and yeah a shuttle will drive most traffic to the canyon

Pictures up their would be awesome, but I'm up for anything. Pretty much, Who wants to do a laughlin run and who wants to do a Grand canyon run..

Sweeeeeeet

Just wondering .......... are the wife's/gf's allowed to go on this trip? b/c i know she would love to see the GC b/c i was the first one to take her outta the state at the age of 17 :eek:

Wifes, G/F's, Kids, anyone is allowed to go. I think it would be a good opportunity to show off our cars and to meet everyone and just to have fun. Thats why i was planning this, Is just for us to all meet and to have a fun time.

I was just up at the canyon in november for my honeymoon and we had no problem with traffic or "old people" and your allowed to drive all the way up to there and park within 100 feet of it. im suggesting if we deside to do this it would be best to do it on the "offpeak" of tourism. when its colder out, and as far as bringing wife/gf/kids etc: I dont think most of us have a choice not to bring them ;) ,

Grand Canyon would be cool, I know you can't get that close like in the game, but oh well.

The last (and only) time I was there I forgot to bring my glasses. :cussing: It would be nice to see it in detail this time.

Maybe we could get a poll going for this thread...may be change the title of the thread to draw more interest.

Just settle a place and a time at least a month in advance. If you build it they will come...I know I will.

New thread started with a poll. I couldn't figure out how to change the name of this thread and start a poll. So I created a new one.

Thanks
