Should you do something fun to your car? YES
P and I did the Polizei theme last year so thats now old news, please do something different.

Try to keep it clean. We will already stick out and we'd rather not have any contact with the highway patrol.

Remember your not required to do anything, this is just for fun.



Who's going from MN:
Northvibe
Kretty
Rallyracer - TBD
CrateEngineDepot


northvibe and rallyracer in the polizei car!

 

I will be there.

 

hahhah, good Tom!!

 

Anyone have any room for a roomate?

 

You MN guys are usually cool, so I'll warn you now.

Bring more than "a roll of quarters" for tolls. Prices went up, to around $1.90 I believe.

Welcome to IL!

 

i should be coming from north dakota probably try to meet up with you guys in MN if its possible

 

Perfect!!! We shall get more information soon. Do you have a place to stay in the twin cities? We usually meet Friday morning at like 7am or so, eat then head out.

Ugh damn them.... thanks for the heads up!

 

I was just about to say that...lol tolls suck in IL....

 

I know how to bypass the tolls. We did it last year on the way home.

 

it was a long ass confusing route and is not worth it.

 

How was it confusing? We took 45 north to 50 and then 50 to 94. Takes a little longer but saves you about $10 in tolls.

 

I don't remember it like that

 

from what i've heard, tolls are still cheap if you have an IPASS

 

Eh, sorta. You still pay half of the cash price, so it still went up. For me to get to/from GLD from the city is still $5 with one. Was $2.50 with one before.

 

Yup, use to do that in the ole semi.

 

jesus, then you lead and don't get us lost I think we just need to make sure the gps is working properly. oh wait...doesn't matter WI and IL have road construction like a ****
