If there is anyone in or near Las Vegas that wishes to meet up for a dinner or lunch, please shout out (PM or e-mail). We will be there from the afternoon-evening of the 6th of October to about Noon on the 13th.
We will then be heading back home with a weekend stopover in Buttonwillow, CA for a NASA sponsored track event. Those nearby are welcome to come out and enjoy the festivities and race events. We will even try to keep you covered and fed if we can.
Cheers!
I have friends who moved to Vegas about 3 years ago but I've only started going there to visit them after getting my SRT-6. Never wanted to drive there in my Dodge since it leaks coolant and oil. Not the kind of car problems one wants when driving through the Mojave. Anyway, 15 has really been improved over the last year and is now almost enjoyable to drive on. It's still a mess through Vegas though. Vegas itself is still in a construction boom so you will still have to dodge the gravel trucks.
I didn't really drive my SRT-6 in Vegas this last weekend. 3 family members were in Vegas for the weekend on a tour so I needed a bigger car to cart everyone around. My friends let me use their Corolla for the weekend and I left them my SRT-6. Not a fair trade but at least the Corolla could hold all of us.
One thing I didn't think about until I got home was that I should have parked the SRT-6 by one of the exotic car rental places to see if it would attract customers. Maybe that's something you could try.
I'm planning on going on vacation sometime in Oct and will most likely drive through Vegas. I haven't firmed up the dates yet but if I'll be in Vegas between the 6th and 13th I'll let you know and maybe we can plan on meeting.
