a drive will forsure happen. goal is to do it whenever we have the most volvo's to really show the pride on the road.

i will have my slr camera there (canon rebel xsi for those who care). to take pictures the whole time to post back up here, so we can take some sweet (non blured) ones on the hwy if wanted.

directly through chitown is stupid, but through the outter hwy would be fine (avoiding tolls).

if we plan on camping i have 5-10 tents i can bring. and in that case we should just make it a two day thing and do it at a state park....

Yeah, I would be down for that as well. I guess the main thing is to see how many definite yeses we have and who would all want to camp. But I am game to do whatever.

I got this going in the turbobricks one as well and there seemed to be a few people interested from that one as well. I'll post something to have people send me some RSVP's if they're for sure going to do this.

I saw the picture and its the first thing that came to mind... I've been trying to take it from there but I hit a block so if anyone else wants to take it from there be my guest. If we get an entire parody of the song I'm pretty sure I could record it and find someone to sing it for laughs......
