Plenty of non Subies on the drive. You’ll be welcome with open arms. We’ve been doing it since 2014 and only missed 2 years. We used to raise $35,000-$50,000. The last two years we’ve raised over $100,000. All for Make-A-Wish. This year dates are 1/10/2024 - 1/14/2024. It’s an extra day longer because it looks like we’re heading to SIA in Indiana. If you’ve never been, the plant tour is worth the trip, all by itself. Impressive place! Edited June 23, 2023 by JJBerk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 As close as I'm going to get. Earliest ticket to the top I can get is tomorrow. Pike's peak 8 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crossed the continental divide at 11,990 feet over loveland pass. The oxygen deprivation was enough to make me cough. Pike's peak would have been worse. have to train for next year 5 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington trying to hold myself in traffic on what seemed like a 45 degree incline. I also tore my passenger side CV boot about that time from, I assume, the downpipe throwing off too much heat.

boxkita Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 finally plotted out more than the morning of. Sunday night is 531 miles and I'll be home monday night. I crossed 9000 trip miles today. I might do part of the trip that was canceled due to snow on Monday which should guarantee 10k miles for the trip. 4 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hwy 84 from western utah across southern idaho. wide open vistas, great roads, reasonably spaced gas stops, 80mph speed limit... If you have a full tank or at least more than half a tank, the stop at the golden spike park was a fun visit. If you are a train nerd, the working steam engine (replicas of the originals) was icing on the cake 5 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 My daughter LOVES trains. Been to several steam engine museums and rode a few too. Her kindergarten class did a Polar Express Day at school. I went a little overboard, lol. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 my original plan for my shop was a train encircling the space, then i priced track. it encircled my desk 3 2 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 There is both a train store and a train museum in town. By the time i wake up the museum is closed. the store caters to night owl...long experience sneaking rare lgt parts in the house stood me well until i setup the track. it's hard to hide the train running on the track. Although the stupidly happy grin was a bit of a giveaway too. Wasnt @penguin a train worker? He seemed like the grumpiest person here. Obviously playing train is not working train Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 forgot to update thread.... Got home at 11:45pm Monday night. It's taken a couple days to acclimatize to not getting up, packing and getting on the road again. posted a trip report here: https://www.gr86.org/threads/10-000-miles-in-26-days.8276/ total mileage came out at 10346. Average miles traveled per day 397 I stopped at Costco last night to buy enough oil for 3 more changes. Enough to get me through the 25k free toyota care mileage, assuming 2500 mile oci. Toyota owes me 2 more. The engine is getting noisier. Probably going to be using a higher viscosity oil after the 25k care period is up. Toyota engine oil is stupidly expensive, dealership used mobil one. Pretty sure that's not correct. Track pipe is going on this week. Huskies took a couple days to remember who I was. They are fickle beasts. Once they realized who I was, they started rototilling the back yard with a vengeance.. The only do that when pissed, scared, hangry, or you don't walk them 3 minutes after waking up. OR visit is probably a week out. They take off for the holidays. They hassled me when my ice climbing gloves failed. Lifetime didn't really mean "my" lifetime. Next year's trip is going to be amazing 3 1 Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
