Thanks for letting me know. Everyone, please do the same if you find out you're unable to attend

Well I am looking at the calendar and it seems I might have those days off. I know I am cutting it short on the time deadline however I think it would be fun to at least drive down with everyone, I mean 37 cars in a group!! I am broke but still willing to pay the gas, food, and the whole $5- I am just thinking lodging will be a problem...

Looking at car, looking at calendar, looking at car, looking at calendar, thanking god that the car still runs...

**Kracka** · 03-25-2008

LOL glad to hear you are coming!

**scheides** · 03-25-2008

OK EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS. If you read nothing else, read this!

First off, if you want to help with events, offer to help with events. This does not just mean casually offering to help. It means volunteering time by asking what time you should show up early to help for such-and-such event, what you can bring, and how much fun we are going to have. With Allan and Jana gone now, we're in a weird grey period for event planning, so please don't mistake the 'secretiveness' for me just doing whatever I can to get the shit done.

I care deeply about this car community, and for this to be brought up as on objection to a $5 event fee is seriously a punch to the kidneys. You want to know why? Guess who else is paying $5 per car? KRACKA AND SCHEIDES. If Anna went and drove her own car like last fall, guess who else would be paying? Anna. You guys are suggesting that I just keep 'all this money' and just waste it.

Quick math: if 20 cars show up @ $5/ each, that's a grand total of $100. I spent MORE than half of that on gas for the bomber (route planning) run. It should also cover the cost of these packets we are putting together. I made them for free last fall out of the goodness of my heart, and if you can honestly tell me that you cannot afford $5 for an event, but have put elbow grease and major time into your car just so you can make it, then I WILL PAY YOUR WAY. I would rather not have to make long winded posts like this and remind people (and question myself) why I spend so much of my personal time and $$ on this site.

Think back to when I first started taking over the site. I had 'awesome' prizes for the dyno day back in 2005 at LSE. They were meager, but we had fun with them! Each event they get a little better and better as I figure out how to basically convince Anna(and myself) to let me spend more and more $$ on prizes and less on site hosting/maintenance.

So, naysayers, I am now paying your way to come on this cruise. M///guy, turbotalon1g and perhaps a few others above. If you feel guilty about it, buy me a beer in LaCrosse.

If that's not putting my money where my mouth is, I don't know wtf else I can do. Just please come, so we can have a good time together--that is the MF'ing point!

TkrPerformance · 03-25-2008

well said. this should not be free 16pages are not cheap for 20+ cars. I know the route all ready and will still give the 5.00 it is just 5.00 people that is not shit anymore

A//// Guy · 03-25-2008

Because yours and Brownman's points suck. You should be looking at it from his point of view instead of expecting him to see yours. Why? He's already been in your shoes.

Would? · 03-25-2008

I'll paypal you $10 ($5 towards the site and what-not) I just need to get to the bank and deposit my stack of 20's

What exactly is your point man? I just went back and re-read several of your other posts to try and figure it out, and all I can see is that your attitude about this stupid $5 thing sucks. Even if we get 30 cars at $5 each that's $150. Whoopee, that is not 'a lot' of profit, that is a few more bucks to go into the prize fund for the dyno day, that's about it. Now if I was asking for $25/car and we were going to be pulling in $1k, that would be profit! Maybe next year we'll start doing that to help weed out the less interested parties

Seriously though, if you don't have a problem with it, then don't pay and don't complain, or just don't come. Again, I am not here to make a profit, this site sucks so much money and time out of me it is almost silly, until I call it a hobby. And that is just what it is, so relax

AwdGSX13 · 03-25-2008

sounds like this is going be fun! even for $5 its well worth the honda stomping good time were going to have!

craig · 03-25-2008

you sir will be getting $5 dollars tonight.

HiImBrian · 03-25-2008

Hey scheids are you going to print up the packets yourself or have somebody else do it? Idk if you remember but I have access to realllly cheap/free ink. If you'd like I can do my best to print up these packets at work and I can have them all done for free. I don't really know what they are all made up of, but if you want black and white I can promise you free

lmk, even though I probably wont make it I'd still like to help where I can.

**Kracka** · 03-25-2008

Thanks for the offer but I think we already have our printing lined up. I will let you know if that changes though!

*edit*
Actually, you've been PM'd

johnson · 03-25-2008
