    This is my God's honest opinion. No bullshit for the most economical driving method for you guys. Toyota Corollas. I used to buy a shit load of them off rental...easily a 1000 or more in my time. They are hard to reserve and there's a reason for that. They are so fucking fuel efficeint and still have more than adequate power. You can very comfortably get 4 people in each car and you will average under full load easily 30mpgs. You can find them with Enterprise for about 40-50 per day or less with unlimited mileage. I know it's not as glamouress as having maybe a party van but it will be the most economical way for 10-12 of you fuckers to get to Montana.























    BTW...I just sent in my request for Montana tickets.

    if that is the case, we might as well get yaris's, or just take our own car.

    this is about more than just transportation.....and i'm willing to pay a couple bucks for that.

    other wise, i'd hop in my truck and split the gas with i'm a truck....

    there is something to be said for a 24 hour party.

    the biggest issue i see is the lack of a pisser :?
    should we save a spot on the party bus for you

    Well, this sounds like a blast !!!

    I have to seriously see if I can do this but I better figure it out fast considering the ticket situation.

    How many of you already got the $250 or $500 packages?


    BTW, I also have a CDL so if we get larger transportation, I can drive that too.


    And to think, I was holding out for them to play at The Glass Bowl !!!

    I cannot believe I read all 10 pages of this thread...

    I will be in Butte on Friday for sure, if you guys are really all driving out, I will try my best to be in Missoula on Saturday (it's 2 hours between both cities). If you guys wanna stop for beers in Butte on Friday, hit me up.

    Chit, I haven't had my 4G phone out in Montana...they are a little slow on the cell service, I will be lucky if they have 3G now. Verizon is the carrier there, if you have Verizon, you're good.
    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.

    didn't think they would have 4g :lol::lol::lol:

    guess we will be lucky if they have text service. :lol: i think the bus has wifi tho. although i don't knwo what it would connect too out there. :lol:

    i guess a good question would be, when is everyone headed to Missoula?

    I think a stop in Butte is a great Idea? Maybe camp there one night?

    This is kind of why I suggested a caravan of cars. My Fiesta gets about 35 mph fully loaded, and it's quite comfortable with three people (four would get a bit cramped, but is doable). A multitude of miniparties in each vehicle, with semi-frequent stops for president sightseeing, brief parties in podunk towns during lunch, and switching places (y'know, when poeple get tired of my driving). It's not a bus party, but I would think it'd be loads of fun with plenty of partying in MT and the campgrounds.

    And, more importantly, more money for everyone to party with!

    Butte is cool, since I have family and friends there, going to the bars is fun. I can search out places to camp for you if you like.

    i think that is how this whole thing started....if there isn't enough interest/real deisre for the bus, i'd be down with a caravan...

    i'd be happy to take my truck (assuming someone else can drive a manual). it sits two in comfort, can handle a thrid person in semi comfort, a 4th if you are midget. :lol: .....also a little bit of storage space in the bed.


    the nice thing about the bus, is you only need two, maybe three drivers, and the non drivers can party it up, plays xbox or watch a movie....be a bit more comfy and spread out, although those perks admittidly do cost a bit more.

    I can't believe I just read all friggen 10 pages of this. Now this sounds interesting. Considering I'll just be getting back from Atlanta on Sunday. I could rest up and work for 3 days and then hit the road again.

    Now I really have to think about this. :think: :think: :think:

    My car's a manual, too. Plus, it has TWO phone charging stations. :lol:

    How about a poll on van/caravan?
