boxkita Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The 200 mile trip looks fun, however, it might be a little long at 30-40 mph. Reading about other drives, mentioned doing an hour at a time, then having a meetup so all can drive their own speeds. stopping for beverages is always a good idea, especially if food is available. 2 1 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylew Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 yeah a 2 hour drive might be much. The ground work laid is perfect as maybe a condensed version of that would be best. Leave more time for finally being able to talk like minded people in person. It gets old responding to outsiders (non car folk) "oh you're into cars, what kind of car do you have?" and they get confused when I tell them my project car is a LGT wagon. 1 3 Wagon is LIFE! - 265,000 miles and climbing Unofficial Build (Restoration) Thread Steering Rack Rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if people prefer to just hang around the camp that's totally fine too. People are driving such a long way, the last thing they may want to do is another drive. Also, 200 miles is much longer than 2 hours. 2 hours would be the minimum. Alternatively, we can do breakout groups for people who want to drive and people who want to hang at camp. 3 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidxsnake Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Seeing this now... I could be convinced (should be free that weekend anyway). Before I dig through all 12 pages, has everyone that isn't camping booked lodging? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 IIRC, two people have already booked lodging off-site. No need to wade through pages of conversation, all the relevant info is in post #1. We're still figuring activities of the actual weekend so your input is welcome. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylew Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 You can count me as a definite. I'll likely be outside lodging.

Hey, just bring the Lexus. I'll have my SS. BTW, autocross schedule has been released -- the June event is the next weekend, so I am free both days. So far though, based on the tentative schedule, it seems like not much will be happening on Sunday... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to try to attend for a least the Saturday, I would be driving my (don't faint Byron) mini van. Be good to meet everyone and might just figure out a way to make it. Hey bud, I was just talking to Andrew about this cruise and mentioned that I was going to text you to see if you would be interested in coming then we did the google maps trip and it seemed a little far, but then I read this, understand if you can't make it but good to put a name to a face for the rest of the guys that haven't been able to put a face to the name. Since so many of us are running or have run your amazing turbos. Also Guys I'm in, just trying to convince the wife to come on a road trip, but even if she doesn't I'm driving down from Ontario! 2 3 #LGTSTi is still cheaper and nicer then an equal year wrxsti Follow my 2007 Spec B.

tysparks81 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 In looking for accommodations, I have found a two Airbnb's for that weekend that are close by. They can sleep up to 8 people, but I'm pretty sure that means there are 4 beds in each place or 1 queen/double per room, some rooms having a queen and a couch. But would be willing to split these with another family(we are a family of 3) or a pair of couples that are considering making the trip. Have a look and feel free to DM me if you are interested in this as I will probably book some place a little further away if it is just my family and I or if I do this trip on my own. https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/52132804?adults=7&children=1&location=Loysville%2C Pennsylvania%2C United States&check_in=2023-06-16&check_out=2023-06-18&federated_search_id=02f19819-1e66-448f-bcc0-8a3805fb616e&source_impression_id=p3_1677190346_xJa6TkgFO%2BBwf2Pf&guests=8 https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/640415070286539044?adults=7&children=1&location=Loysville%2C Pennsylvania%2C United States&check_in=2023-06-16&check_out=2023-06-18&federated_search_id=02f19819-1e66-448f-bcc0-8a3805fb616e&source_impression_id=p3_1677190417_2hkzvW1RC1mcO63k&guests=8 1 #LGTSTi is still cheaper and nicer then an equal year wrxsti Follow my 2007 Spec B.

Nice ride for a long drive, and it would probably do well to keep up with most of the crowd who aren't heavily modified. Only been in a 3.6 Legacy once and while I think the GT would overall outpace it on boost... that torque!! Not a bad ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your kind words. As always, truly appreciated. I put this on my calendar. I have to travel for business to NYC the preceding week and arrive home late Thursday afternoon 06/15, so I would have to turn around on Friday and drive out. I may consider stopping somewhere along the way and driving a couple of hours early on Saturday to come in and see everyone and stay most of the day. I would probably head back to where I stayed on the way in and then home on Sunday morning. I will not drive my LGT as it's too damn stiff and too damn low and I'm too damn old to drive it that far, but I can take a few photos of it and paste them on the side of my van for the experience...LOL. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Byron @Max Capacity said he has an appointment 6/15. He is keeping an "open mind". He also says it might be time to sell the 09 SpecB. Cryptic? Can't say I like the sound of either. Byron is a bit older than me. "Appointments" make me think of doctors and he already parted with the wagon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'm healthy and doing well. Thanks for the concern. I had enough of putting money and time into the wagon, it was best to let it go. It did end up with a great home, it sits inside a climate controlled garage where its new owner builds his Rally cars. 1 4 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

m sprank Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Brian at Subie Stickers says he should have something for me by the end of the week. He also said he is no longer screen printing, but will pass on the vector files if we want to have some printed locally. He also gave a few website references for screen printing. Once we have the vector images we can price out tees. Byron, you can always drive the SpecB to the meet and fly home. I will give you $500 USD CASH MONEY for the car and a ride to the airport. Might even be convinced to go halves on the ticket. Feeling the love, its what makes a Subaru a Subaru. LOL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
