Midwest Mazdafest 2009!

[jem0473]

Right after we hook onto 70 from 270 there is a Shell gas station and plenty of fast food/restaurants off Exit 91B-Hilliard Rome Rd that would probably be a good meeting point. Address is as follows:

Shell Oil Co
1500 Hilliard Rome Rd
Columbus, OH 43228

Thoughts?

So here's a question that has been bothering me for some time now. How does one keep their car looking "show-worthy" after driving two hours to get to the show?

 

[THE Phen]

Lots of painters tape.

 

[magnumP5]

Lots of painters tape.

God I hope you're kidding...

 

[THE Phen]

Yep...

 

[magnumP5]

Looks like I'll be showing up with bug splatters and road grime because I don't have the time to do stuff like that!

 

[THE Phen]

I know the feeling man. You won't be alone with the bugs. Must make sure you bring a tooth brush to clean the FMIC... hahaha.

 

[fatti03msp]

got a room reserved

any updates on what time we are all meeting in Columbus?

 

[magnumP5]

I'd like to meet up with everyone around Dayton, even though it adds about an hour to the total trip. Meeting in Columbus wouldn't make sense for me as it's 1.5 hours going the wrong way.

 

[THE Phen]

That's understandable.

 

[coondogg]

I doubt my car will be super clean just because I work the 3 days before. Unless I start the detail after I get home from work at 8pm on Thursday...
