Hey David it's me with the green xB. We've met before in BR. If you want to go just let me know. I'm trying to get some people for a caravan.

Ok, here is how the show is planned to flow. Due to the high number of requests for late registration, if you have a concern, please PM me your name, address, phone, credit card info, bank account numbers, etc

Actually, I will need name, address, phone and e-mail. Then I can reserve you a spot for the show.

I intend for "registration" to last from about 12pm-3pm (arrive any time you would like in that range). Then we will begin judging soon thereafter and continue on til around 5pm when food gets prepared. We will do the tally and announce winners ASAP. Hopefully, it will start getting dark around that time and will allow for those with neon/LED/HIDs to show off your lighting. So here it is in list form:

12pm to 3pm - Registration
3pm to 5pm - Judging
5pm - food starts
5:30pm (or when tallying ends) - prizes
dusk to whenever - lights!

Yeah, Mapquest is the best way to go, locals can get you sooo lost cause they know the shortcuts...And we don't want to loose anybody!

Greg, as soon as I get my phone from downstairs, expect a call...

Okay! Here's a readers' digest version of directions. For those of you too lazy to type in an address on MapQuest.

I'm a "local" of Mobile, and I don't think there's any type of shortcut to get to Palmer's.

If you're coming from out of state, one way or another make it to I-65. From there take the Airport Blvd exit, which is Exit 3. Turn left is coming from the South. Turn right if coming from the North. Travel a LONG way (6 miles) down Airport. (The lanes will go from 6 lanes to 4 lanes (two each way).) Schillinger is the only major road that cuts into Airport when it becomes 4 lane. Look left and Palmer's is there. It's a HUGE monstrosity of a dealership!

It'll probably take 15-20 minutes to get from the Interstate Exit to Schillinger.

Ok, I am starting the "how many to plan for phase." How many of us are planning on being there? If you are still mulling it over, go on ahead and tell me so I can save you some food if you do decide on coming. I hope to see everyone there!

Y'all make sure I'm parked between two STOCK xA's... preferably from the dealership parking lot!

For lunch, let's say I test drive a Celica to some food place...

So they finally got rid of them. They really didn't sell too many of them anyways. When I worked at toyota for the 9 mths that I was there in 05, we had a brand new 04 that we had to give away just to get it off the lot.

I had a 2001. There were only 11,000 and some change sold in the US that year... and that was the highest year. In 2005 only 1500 or so were sent to the US. All 5 years of the Spyder only totally a little over 25,000 units.

In my books, they were priced to compete with S2000, but had the performance of a Miata. If it had the Celica GTS 2zz-ge engine and the same price tag, it would have been an awesome buy.
