Caravan to ORANGE COUNTY CHOPPERS: All Mazda Meet 06.05.10

Spot me a couple G to drive down and back. And besides, not really great timing. Wedding on the 26th or somewhere around there. School starts on the 29th. Not good timing lol.
 
Id really like to go to this, not only because Ive never actually been to a mazda meet and have owned a mazda for IDK..... 5-6 years lol. But Ive also never been to New York either lol and think itd be fun as hell. Just have to see how the funds are cause theres a rally trip in Joliet I wanna go to on the 7th of June.. and then EECMM is later on in the month and am thinking of going to that too. Can you tell I havent had a vacation in a really REALLY! long time? lol.

My group will likely be departing from Gurnee around midnight Thursday night/Friday morning and aiming for a New York arrival between 2 and 4pm that afternoon.

Who is interested?

I'm down, I want to see a bit of NY before the meet. Never been, but I've wanted to go for a long time.

Where we are going is about an hour north of "the city". It'd probably be most worthwhile to go down Friday night if you wanna really see around a little bit.

Ya, I did some mapping of the area and saw that we'll be decently close to nyc. I definitely want to see times square during the day and hit some bars friday night

If by decently close you mean closer than here, then I guess you are right. If you are really planning to do this it will take a good bit of planning. Driving in NYC is about 3 million times harder than downtown Chicago, and parking isn't just more difficult, its impossible. I would advise driving to the nearest (to OCC) train station and taking a train to the city. To do this right you will need a full day. Good luck.

I'm not thinking it won't be hard and won't require a lot of planning, but that's why we're talking about this months in advance, to plan it. I don't know about you, but I'm 24 and haven't been out of IL since like 98. I'm dying to get out of this state even if it's for a few days, with a few hours of sightseeing. It's just a thought right now, but it's close to the front of my thought train.
 
Im in for the midnight run. And Justin, you're in front this time. Im not saving you 2MPG this trip.
 
add your name to this list if you are not on here. i'm feeling lazy.
