Please do not post in this thread! Please read this entire post before voting! If you want to discuss the cruise or want to add your name to the list of attending people, please post HERE


The cruise and shall be in honor of ryanmmacoustic's grandmother who passed away this morning (March 7th). RIP. it will be rescheduled for March 20th due to the chance for rain/snow along the route for

Summary of what we have already figured out:

Date: Sunday, March 20th, 2011

Meeting place: Home Depot, 4277 S Eldridge Street, Morrison, CO 80465

Departure time: Between 10AM and 11AM, about 10:30 or 10:45

Duration/Distance: ~110 miles, 3.5+ hours from meeting place to ending destination including stops, plus any time you would like to spend with other people at the final destination after the cruise itself
The route as currently planned is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes of driving time only. Approximate distance from meeting location to the final destination of Sonic Drive in on 8th Street in Colorado Springs. Factor in any stops for photographs and chilling out, plus however long you may want to stay at the final destination after the "end" of the cruise. Hoping for one or two photo opportunities along the way and you're looking at (I'm assuming) least 3.5 hours.
Route: Click here for the directions on Google Maps!

Final Destination: Sonic on 8th Street in Colorado Springs

17. Colombia28 (work?)

19. Reconbygod12 - Just a note, highly unlikely, but if something goes wrong with the tuning on his upgraded turbo today, he won't make it. But again, I think that's unlikely.
20. Number2 - Just a note, needs to be done by 2PM (at the sonic we end at) to get back to denver for work.
21. Alex's friend? Not sure on if he is still coming since erod might not be able to make it and didn't want to be alone in his Mustang lol.
22. chickenwafer - Maybe, gotta be in Greely for inventory by 5pm, but wants to sleep first, so not sure.
23. Dumbizzle - Not sure if the car will be repaired by then, hopefully. Maybe ride along?


I want to come but haven't shown interest yet! Or I want to discuss the cruise! Where should I post?
Please post your interest in this thread!. We are trying to keep this thread clean and "clutter" free as much as possible.

Note!!!
The different time frames above have been limited down due to the length of the cruise. Yes, starting later on in the day might make for a bit more fun if it were dark outside, but people have work, some people have school, etc. Due to the fact that people are more likely to have to be somewhere on Monday, the goal is to at least be done with the cruise at a reasonable hour, but feel free to stick around as long as you like at the Sonic we are ending at.
Please ONLY post in this thread IF you do not feel any of the listed time frames are appropriate for you and you would like to add your suggestion at a time close the one of the times listed above (eg, chances of starting at like 7PM are slim to none, so it's probably not smart to suggest 7PM).

Poll has been included. I think you got to the post after I hit submit to add the poll but before I finished the poll.

I have included as much information as I can think of. If I missing something form this thread, please let me know by posting in this thread! It's alright to remind me to add something, but please keep all discussion of the cruise and requests to have your name added to the "attending" list in the other thread!

Most of the people have voted, but there are still a couple that haven't. I believe only 3, but it's enough to make a difference as to what time we leave (could push 1PM-2PM ahead) And there's still a good portion of time left before the cruise, so I will give it a few days before we decide on a final time.
