Egg-zactly. Plus, I enjoy driving. And the rate was pretty good.

Here's the reply I got from the Glen Motor Inn:

"We have availability May 7, 2010. The rate for one or two people is
$95+tax. We do not accept pets and have no discounts. Please let me know
if you would like to book."

Two, three or four splitting a room works for me. Darin, I'll make the reservation if you'd share the room. I don't want to even think about spending the chilly night in the front seat of my B210 in a sleeping bag.

Thanks for taking the initiative Mike! Count me in on that room if you would. I have no problem with sleeping on the floor (like I did last year). Sitting in a car for 2+ hours seems a lot more palatable after that

McTimson: Remember that I've got an exhaust waiting for you. If you choose to bring the yaris and I actually get my secret weapon operational, you can use the Watchdog before I have to give it back to Ben. (I'm putting the finishing touches on the review right now.) I have to dig up my guino from when I sold my Corolla... I don't know what needs to be fixed with it, so I may end up asking you to use yours!

What car I'll be using is still up in the air at this point, and that may be the case until about 5pm on May 7th, so I'm reluctant to pre-register... do we think it will get full enough for me to be denied entry? I hope not... I should probably just email Bob....

CR-XFi. That's what you're running.

[Wonderboy]

Right, well we'll see how mounting the motor goes...Maybe I could use some of that nylon rope used on phone and electrical wires to mount the motor in there. That stuff is tough as nails. Oh and some duct tape too. Time to get the old welder out and learn how to use it

[Christ]

Man, I wish I had time away from my million projects to come up and help out, but I just don't.

I'd bring a roll or two, a case or two, and even a couple extra tools!

We'd get 'er in there!

Sounds good Will,

I'll go ahead and book the room then. Darin are you in too? We've got room.

I hope to take my boys to the expo. If plans go well I will bring a streamlined upright bike.

[MetroMPG]

Whoops - sorry for the late reply.

Mike: I'll share the room.

I just talked to Ben (remember Ben? Yeah, he used to visit EcoModder) and he's interested too if you have space. I think we had 4 in last year.

Chances of the CRXFi making its debut appearance at the GGP just got a whole lot more likely! Check the build progress here!
