Shucks, you're right. I need to get that cooler up front then. I didn't think about that... And I bet toasty and slits don't have remote coolers at all... I guess the pace will be determined by "fastest we can go without cooking oel".

Even with big tires, my rpm's are still higher, about 1100 at idle. Plus with the grades, the cars will be heating up. Maybe when we stop for gas to give our cars a few to cool off. But I have been able to run great distances with the temp close to the red area without overheating. Like Riverside to Kingman, AZ staight through (288 miles) for example.

Brandon, I bet you haven't been on a really long road trip with a woman before, have you? (I've gotta pee. I've gotta pee. I've gotta pee. I've gotta pee.)

i bet there are lot of things he hasn't done with a woman before


sorry brando, that was too easy.

greg is a funny mofo today.... LOL

Don't encourage him!

Like I said, I literally drove this stretch every weekend for about 9 months. In my expierance, as long as you keep it 5mph above the posted limit, GENERALLY they leave you alone. This is generalization though. You never know what is gunna happen in Utah!

And no Toasty, I would either drive my diesel at exactly 80mph or my friends 930 at 150+. Either way we would get to Vegas (or Denver) in about 10 hours and 15 minutes. Vegas to Denver is 750 miles, 80 mph X 10 hours is 800 miles minus fuel time = 750 miles in about 10 hours. If I drove the truck, we would go 600 miles between fuel stations. If we drove the 930, it was a race from gas station to gas station. Knock on wood, we never got pulled over in Utah. If you got a radar dectector, bring it. My escort has saved my ass countless times. I also have a small CB with a magnetic mount antenna, maybe I will bring it as well. Those truckers let you know where all the fuzz is.

i caught a hanger

:high five/knuckles:

Radar detectors are illegal in Utah, so be careful! Yea, long hual truckers rock!

Greg, don't you have a job yet?

ROFL Gregor...

Nah, there aint much I haven't done with a woman. Road trip and sky diving being two of the few.

Speaking of fuzz lookout -- how we gonna keep in contact? Get 4 or 5 of those little 2-mile radius handhelds?

geez, what is it with utah?

Pink shirt wearing, No booze having, Gas stations closed, no big love watching, no radar detector having, WTF is up over there???

For the record, without a headset, they are useless in a convertible....

brando, i can jack my sister's motorola 2 ways....

"you can try a high speed pursuit, but nothing outruns a motorola"

actually radar dectectors are perfectly legal in Utah. The only states where radar dectectors are illegal are Virginia and Wasington DC.

ya, but think.........multiple wives


CRAP! I just thought about it. i can't afford the ONE i have

I had thought about those walky-talky things. There ok as long as you are not too far apart. Cell reception after Vegas is shit (Verizion seems pretty damn good though). So chances are that may be our best bet. Or just use sign language.

No thanks.....already have one and a NARP too! You guys don't have to worry....I'll be going so fast I will be invisible and I'll trigger all the Radar guns...by the time they figure out what's going on, you'll all be safely past them.

And Brandon....I do have a cooler....it sits in the passenger seat filled with ice and goodies....Is that front mounted enough for ya?

Rascal Scooters have a passengers seat now?

Yeh....for those "brain rotted" inhabitants of "The Land of the Locust" it's called a side car......

I win all the roundy rounders at the ol' folks home.

Where were the flies around that rotten piece of fish? (pink salmon = carp = low life bottom feeder = ES = :nutkick:)

Put Ron on... I don't wanna talk to you.

AND... you know way to much about Mo history. Sssup with that?

It will be easy to communicate with SLITS, his car will be sending smoke signals.

John

You didn't know Ron was a Moron in his previous life?

Talked the warden into this... so one more for the Kamikaze (post work) thursday to vegas run, and then the scenic route on friday.

Keith, we're crashing @ your pad, have the pineapple potion ready

BJH

And now, the rest of the story.....

When I was young married white trash, I lived in the ghetto. Most of my neighbors and friends were of the Mo persuasion. For years they tried to convert me, even put a roof on my house. I never did give in.

Later, in talking with the MFWIC of the ward, he told me that I was such a "hard case" they had decided to send all of their "missionaries in training" to my house to see if they could tolerate the abuse. I watched, with glee, all of the wonderful Joseph Smith videos and listened with intent to their pitch. At the end of each cycle I would comment that I loved their ideas..spirit world, 3 stages of Heaven, etc., BUT I wasn't giving 10% to nobody ('cept the good ol' US gubermint - somebody had to pay Zits' wages).

Next....................

Yeh, and the squaw will be riding in the back with the blanket.........

Don't follow to close or you may wind up "Rocky Mountain High" too!

I led them to the promised land.........................

















SoCal






Shit, missed the Great Salt Lake by this much again.

slits...

you are a riot.

Bull Sh!!! You cant fool us! You are going to fly by them, distract them with a 20 minute discussion on why they shouldn't arrest you, just in time for us to catch up to your cloud of smoke that you left behind, and he comes back and accuses us of violating polution contol and gives all of us a ticket for depositing toxic waste into the ozone and then searches all our vehicle on the notion of "suspicious convoy".

I like the Mesquite idea.
The Cali peeps can get some rest and we can all caravan together.

6 AM. The Oasis in Mesquite. Rock 'n' Roll.
That would put us in Moab @ 12 - 1 (the same as the other caravans).

The Oasis did a pretty good steak & eggs last time I was there.

Bruce, if you join us I'll buy.

You are the man. Good plan. Think I'll go up to Mesquite on Thursday and get in some casino time. Only problem I see is running due east at the crack of dawn.

OK. That settles it.
The 2006 RRC will start on Thursday at the Oasis.


I just checked and rooms are available for $29.99. I think the newer rooms in The Manor is where we want to be. What do you say to a gourmet dinner at Charmaine's around 8pm? Anybody else interested in joining us?

The rest of the So Cal / NARP contingent can work out their driving plans and stagger in later in the evening. Vegas folks are encouraged to come up on Thurs night also, or you can roll out early on Friday.
Can we all be loaded and ready to boogie at 6 AM ?

John, want to go halfers on another case of Red Bull?

I'd love to but I'm working that weekend

Mesquite, NV ...... described in the book "Garden Spots of America - 100 Most Forgetable Places to Go".

Isn't that a step up from the inbred empire? Stop whining

inbred empire ROTFLMFOA!!!

Featured destination........Tweakerside!

nice avatar
salmon and toast, what a lovely combo Click to view attachment

It's my whine and I'll spill where ever I want..............

No thanks Toast. I'm with the college kid and Clayton. My drug of choice is Rockstar.

That's all they had at Costco.

But now that I have a Sam's Club membership....I thought I saw those there.

Mix enough vodka into them and they taste the same....

Just not while driving of course

BJH
