No, I'll be collecting the money. Hopefully I'll get enough takers to buy me a turbo kit, or a Air intake kit, or maybe enough to buy me one round of beers.

A round of beers? Is that all I can pull in? Gee, thanks for the ego boost.

I can't help it!!!! :D Dazy has an advantage.... she already knows all of you so she knows what she's getting into..... I don't! You can't raffle her off for the whole trip anyway - she and I will have to make a few notes at some point for that book we're going to write, remember?!

hey I started with turbo kit so I am shooting high! But then I thought about the number of people going so I had to readjust. Besides, I don't know how much a "round" of beers are gonna cost.

Don't worry, I'm including you in the raffle. If you win, I get to video tape it right???
I mean, I'll BUY your ticket.

I think we should record our conversations over the walkie talkies on the way down and back. That'll save us a lot of writing time. What else are we going to do during the drive?

Well turbo kit is a nice starting point. Video tape? I think the "What happens in Austin stays in Austin" rule should apply. I'll already have you teasing me all the time, the last thing I need is evidence!

I'm going turbo and buying some beach-front property where I can live out the rest of my days in the sand under the sun. Then a boat and I'll set aside a chunk for my kid's education. Help out the family with bills. Never work again, except for fun. I've seriously contemplated getting a part time job at Hooters just for extra cash. (Dazy hoping N-O skips this entry.)

If NO has a walkie talkie on the way down there I don't think there will be an entertainment issue.....probably have a smack talking contest.

Whaaattttt?! No one wants to participate in a raffle for something or in this case someone they don't know anything about ......

I'm with Dazy on the "what happens in Austin stays in Austin" so NO.... no video taping allowed. No pictures either... no tellin' where they may end up! :D

I've been warned about you....

I'm Shari.... Hmmmm.... I'd like a newer house here and definitely a beach house - on the gulf - ooohhh and I think I want a Porshe for my weekend car (except the weekends of RX8 road trips); pay off student loans; help my mom out; pay off the lifetime tab I seem to have with my best friend and SHOP. Yeah, that sounds like a good start.....

Silly guys!!!! You can't get a free car with the purchase of a computer, but you can get a free computer with a purchase of a focus. Haven't you seen the commercials?

The question is...

how much do we want to spend?

How many do we want to put in a room?

From there I can tell you what we can do. There are several hotels within walking distance, but the ones I'm thinking of are high dollar, but if we don't care how many to a room and split the cost then I don't see why we don't do that.

It depends on how you look at it. That was probably a $14,000 computer with a $2000 new car, right?

Hey I don't mind sharing a room.....hint, hint.....Dazygirl, Awazl8, Weininaustin or any other chicks that are going. I'll even room with a few chicks, the more the merrier and it'll keep the room cost down.
