    When I had my Starsky & Hutch Torino we all met in PA each year. I never went because I don't want to take a 30 year old car that far. But lots of guys did and what a sight. They even had Antonio Vargas show up to sign the trunks (at $250 per signature). I also was in an Impala SS club and we had local as well as national events. I have found the best people in the world are those who share a particular model vehicle.

    I was wondering if you could check a VX as oversized luggage and pay the extra 50 bucks?

    If I'm not mistaken, Iraq will not work because there are WMD there.

    That's correct,lets choose few states & focus on which cities are most suitable.

    That can narrow a lot this quest for the right location.

    Are you asking me to drive 24 hours while you may drive 6 or 7 ?

    I begin to believe that this ain't taking us no where.

    Is this not unavoidable? Some people are going to have to drive farther than others regardless, especially those in the "corners" of the US.

    I would be up for Colorado. I love North Carolina and Virginia, but if I was ever to move someplace else, Colorado is tops on my list. I've been there several times over the past few years, and the kid is right, there's a LOT to do, both in summer and in winter, and both outdoors and in the city. Good ideas for a group photo shoot: downtown Denver, at the top of Pikes Peak (and the convoy going up), just below the summit of Mount Evans, parked across the Royal Gorge bridge... and the list goes on. Good point here is that you can do lots of outdoors stuff in Colorado that doesn't require taking the VX offroad, so that may be a good compromise for everyone.

    It would be several hours further for me than Kansas, but it'd be worth it.
