3rd Annual 48hrs of Tri-state Drive
 

Hey guys,
I know you all love to drive, and love to hang. Well here is a whole weekend of driving and hanging. It's the 3rd Annual 48hrs of Tri-state driving tour. We will depart from Long Island on Jan 1 and treck up to Danbury, CT and then up to Albany. We'll sleep there and then do backroads across the southern Adirondacks to the Great Lakes and on to Niagara Falls Canada for a night of Gambling, Gaming, and other Vices!

We then travel through scenic central NYS down to Ithaca, and then down to Philadelphia. We will dine at Dave and Busters and visit some local sites in philly! Sunday we will catch a diner for breakfast and then head down to Deleware and over to Cape May, NJ. Then up the GSP toward Woodbridge where we will have our closing dinner! 1500 miles of backroads.

This will not only be fun, but we are asking people to collect donations for our charity, which this year is MADD. Last year we raised about $800 for the American Cancer Society and over $1000 For the WTC Victims in '02. If you can't come, we ask you donate or help get a business to sponsor our event with door prizes etc.

Here is the link on Nasioc with the info.

Paisan,

The Naviguesser & I would like to meet up with you all at Dave & Busters. and I will even fork up some money for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Please let us know the date and time of this "Happening."

CALLING ALL PHILLY AREA SVXers,

Let's all try to meet Paisan and his group at Dave & Busters and bring them some money for a good cause.

I think I could do the same, than maybe stay with the group through DE and back to Cape May. It's kinda on the way, considering I live near Cape May.

I would absolutely love to go the whole trip, but poor little precious would never make it. :( As for the D&B part, well... see ya there Larry. :D

Cool guys! I'm glad I won't be the ONLY SVX on this. Last year I was the only SVX and the year before the only XT6! :) But of course the SVX did great :)

If you want go and sign up on the registration page and put down "meet" in the area that says meet/drive.

That way I have your #s etc. Generally we roll into the Comfort Inn in philly around 5pm-6pmish and head over to D&B at around 8pm. Should be a ball!

OK I think Im gonna try to make the run from the start til it gets back to Cape may. I took some time off. I just need to figure out how to work out the details. Like when to head up to NY. It would be nice to be in NY for new years, but where would I stay?

I also need a co-pilot..... (Hmmmmmm wonder if Kelli would be interested. I did promise to let here drive the SVX) :D

I signed up, but dont see my name on the RSVP list?

Greetings!

I'm the one on the list that's either coming in a Saab 9-3 Viggen or SVX. I hope to have an SVX before the drive, but if not I was told my Viggen is welcome. I hope to meet some new friends on this drive.

I am co-founder of the New York Saab Owners Club and hope to also become part of the Subaru community.

I would like to thank Mike for welcoming me so readily and am really looking forward to this awesome event! :cool:

Thanks for coming Rob, gonna be a GREAT Trip, hopefully you get the SVX, then we'll have 2 there!

Accually it would be 3 SVX's. I'm planning to make the trip from NY to Cape May. I havnt had any luck getting a co-pilot though. Can it be done solo?? How many miles per day we talking??

Well we do about 250 miles the first night from LI->Albany, then about 300 the 2nd, probably 400 the 3rd, and then about 350 the last. It can definitely be done alone, the first year when I led it, we did it in a real 48hrs leaving on a friday and returning on sunday and we did 1500 miles that year. Not to mention, we have extra folks with us, so you can always grab someone to ride with you, especially after last year when I took my SVX and EVERYONE was fighting over riding in my passenger seat cause the SVX is the best Grand Touring car on the trip :)

All right can you change the info on the other website to reflect that I'll be making most of the trip. Basicly change my start point to NY.
