Alright, one more!! It's looking good, so far we've got 13 vehicles. This looks like it's gonna be fun.
I would like to see if we can organize everyone to maybe come in together. Have the people coming from the same way leave in time to meet up someplace, or on the highway somewhere. Normally I'm sure that is the case but this brings me to my next point.
I was thinking of kinda making a movie about this trip. Anyone got a video camera they want to bring. Tape your trip up when you've got, say, more than 2 cars with you. We'll tape some drive-by's (not the 'gansta' type, for all you GTA Fans) and some of the track races. I dunno, we'll post it here and then we can maybe put faces to some names for the people who can't make it.

DAMN! I really want to go, I have family in Buffalo NY and I love the Niagra Falls/Toronto area. Problem is it'll probably take me longer to get there then the length of the event. When is there gonna be somethin fairly big goin on closer to the Pacific people! I don't know, maybe I could stay in Buffalo for a while and make the trip worthwhile (not that you guys aren't enough...)
Alpha dropped out so I'd be all alone

Hell man, get Alpha to come with. I'm going down to ABQ for the ABQ BBQ 2005.
Totally up to you man. If you're gonna stay with family that's cool. I live here so we could hang til the real party gets going. I can also get some discount Shizz for the Falls and that if you want to make it into a big vacation or something.
If you come Alpha has to come! LOL

With the exchange rate the way it is not much less. It'll be about $84USD including tax
Room Rate x Tax Rate = Total CDN / Exchange Rate = USD amount
(always round up)
$89.00 x 12% (1.12) = $99.68 CDN / ~20%(1.20) = $83.06 (84.00)
We always round up when quoting USD cause we can't give exchange on quarters, dimes, or nickels. Using a Credit Card will honestly be the cheapest way. The exchange rate drops to 15% if you pay in US currency. You will never see a cash and credit card exchange the same because it has to be worth while to the hotel to take the currency.

Your tib isn't ugly, the interior is just a little overdone for some people. I like it man, except for the headliner. That's it. Glad to hear you're coming too. Hopefully everyone from NY can make it.
Canada's Wonderland is about an hour and a half away from here. The best way to get tickets hands down is through CAA/AAA $35 CDN a ticket, versus about 50-60 CDN at the door.
Now we're up to 14 cars, not bad.
