If anyone is interested in cruising down with the club, we are planning to meet up at the Tiftonia Walmart parking lot Saturday morning.  We need to be ready to pull out at 7:30 to head on down.  Looks like it's going to be great weather for the show.  :) :)

depends on what you drive! A motorcycle or a smart car could! It's about 180 miles 1 way...so if you get atleast 17 or 18 mpg, you could do it, but that's up to you. Might strap an extra gallon gas can on the roof rack just in case. Or set up a petcock with reserve...

I drove Homer the Super Bus for years without a gauge . . . or odometer.  Carry a couple of gallons in a can and run it til it quits, pour in your reserve and start looking for a gas station.   ;D
