I've only driven an automatic once, didn't like it.
I'd be really grateful if someone could pick me up on the way
i'd be more than happy to pick you up at ohare?
That would be lovely. I was thinking of my house, really. Then driving me there and providing me with a ticket and accomodation. I guess I'll just dream on. At least I've got Wednesday to look forward to
Thinking of grabbing a car at the MSO airport Friday to do an immediate Helena run, and maybe come back through Butte on Saturday afternoon on the return to Missoula. Even though I'm an East Coaster, I spend significant amounts of time at 10K alt in CO, so mountainy stuff is cool but not required unless it's really unique and special. It would be MUCH appreciated to get any good tips from you locals on 'must-sees' in those 2 towns, Missoula, or alternate short road trip destinations.
PS I'm a Bierstadt whore, so if anyone knows of any paintings of his that might be in the area, I'd be grateful for a heads-up :geek:

if we take my truck...you can crash in the bed with the luggage.
actually, based on teh 3K prize value...you could fly us all in.
i don't think it includes airfare....but i could certainly buy you all a beer!
oh...and the bed of the truck will be fine. we've camped in Oklahoma before, so it's not a big deal.
the super duper 2 person side of stage includes airfare, hotel and tix for the show and dinner on sat night. sweet deal for the winner. i would think a car rental in MT as well.

wow. i didn't read the fine print, i guess. if that's the case, beers & merch for everyone!!!
We can take my car. It's an auto. Three people will be easy, 4 plus luggage might be tight. I didn't get tickets either. Not worried about that thought something will come up.

hey hey.....an auto might make things a bit more easy to rotate drivers in and out.
sucks that the rental cost is so damn much on teh van. friggen 2 grand for a half a dozen days :fp:
For about $350 a person we can fly out of Chicago to spokane and drive that far. Was just looking at different things. It's how I kill time.
it was 250 for airfare a couple of days ago..
i think i've looked at just about every combo.
just amazes me that you can rent a car for 25-35 per day, but a full size van is 100+ for the group size now, a full sized van seems like it would be just about perfect until you factor in the rental fee, and mileage woudl be like half of the cars, so there isn't a fuel savings. the party bus is at least a diesel which in theory should help.
the is the first time i've ever wished i bought the double cab tacoma...that combined with a car would be perfect

try a fly out of Chicago and fly in to Helena. Then it's a 2 hour drive to Missoula.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Nice! I got confirmation on my GA, too. This is going to epic.

i'm really looking forward to this trip.
This could be the trip of the year!
anybody that can go and doesn't go is a fool.
how could you not want to spend 5-6 days couped up in a car with this crew.
