Sorry Lance, (Can't speak for Hossam) but I do feel the need to correct you because all I did was inquire how much he could get/sell a set for...I'm not sure why he would have ordered 6 sets based on that inquiry

This would be totally bada$$. But none of us are good enough to do so, at least that many other cars around. I do hope it rains one day while there and we can find a quiet, empty lot somewhere to do some drifting.......

What is that off??? The thing that annoys me on videos like that....is how the drivers react when they are in the midst of drifting. They act as if the car is in control and they get THROWN off to the side and can barely hang onto the steering wheel while the car is drifting around a corner. That's so freakin' stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be able to fully drift your car, you're in full control of the throttle, and I hope you wouldn't be allowing the car to THROW you back and forith in your seat, instead being fully in control of the clutch and accelerator. They literally make it look the CAR is the one driving and the driver is just "along for the ride"....

Oh that's completely cool bro. I told Kris from the start NOT to order anything guys are committed, but he was like "oh i'll just order 6 sets"...um? okay? lol

I'm pretty sure he sold a set to Dan for like 180bucks shipped or something like that. If you wanted to, we could put a set in your car when we do dan's this weekend(if we are?)

Maybe catch up for the last 3 hours, and the Drive In.... should surely turn a few heads.

EDIT: Make sure your A/C's are tuned up!
Haha, mines brand new, so if they J3w3d me from the factory I will be pissed!! Although I will prolly have 12k miles on it by then We can always pick ya up on the way down too depending on the drive and our location to ya. Would be fun!!

I just ran some quick numbers and just in our drive down and back, looks like we will be spending between 500 and 600 in gas (over 3600 miles). Figure another 100 to 200 depending your driving around at each stop, another 300 to 600 in lodging (depending on how many people are in each room, 2-4). Plus about 200 for food or so. Roughly thats 1100 to 1600. Obviously thats a rough calculation, and we got drinks, fun, and entertainment to figure, plus if you plan on buying something down there like new shoes. Pinch your pennies starting now. Also everyone will need an oil change right before we leave and right after we get back. Just food for thought.

Check out the first page guys, I've posted a link to a FULL ROUTE MAP, links to each lodging place, as well as complete miliage information for the entire trip.

I will be calling later today to get room information for ZDAYZ lodging so we have pricing info.

When I drove my 91 Accord from Orlando to Minneapolis I spend 350 on gas. Considering that I put in 87 grade and that was 4 years ago I think your about spot on.

I figured at 20 mpg over 1500 miles at $4 a gallon gives me about $300 one way(Although I'm most certain it will be closer to 4.25 or 4.50 a gallon. Our Gas just jumped to 3.79 for regular....good thing I have my 10 cents off a gallon Obviously we should be able to do better than 20 mpg, but I figured that would average for the time we are doing 26ish and the time we are doing 15 on the Dragon or some crazy pulls etc LOL.

I averaged about 27 mpg when I went to Vegas with a PACKED to the max trunk and 2 passengers and and the rest of my rear seat space packed with stuff. Coming down from the mountains in CO, I averaged around 36 mpg

I'm calling for hotel pricing in NC tomorrow. I need everyone to confirm 100% if they're in after that. The hotel fills up quick because it is "THE HOTEL" for zdayz. Has a huge meeting room which they host zdayz at for breakfast and stuff.
