Whats your excuse for not going to the Mopar Nats?

[twilt]

I noticed that this site has been kinda slow for a few days. I guess everybody is on their way to the Nats.. Whats your excuse for not going?
Mine is that i am trying to save up the $$ for another 72 Charger. I`m tired of buying/owning cars that need more work than i have the time to accomplish. I`ve started selling off some parts, may sell 1 or 2 of my project cars, to buy another 72 that needs little or nothing. 

[terrible one]

Mine is that I don't have the gas money to get there, and my Charger is years from being finished.

[Shakey]

Too far.

[tan top]

Too far.

  much too far

[bull]

   I've got no money and I live in Oregon.

[mikepmcs]

yes, too far for me, although the Readfield Maine Nationals are tomorrow..LOL
1 Mile from my house.  
population, well about 200 I guess.  Lion's are putting it on so i'm sure there will be some cars there.
Maybe i'll remember to bring my camera to show you all some maine girls.  Stand by, that will get 70 Charger 500 off the hook and i'll take the beating for a while....hee hee.
Unless my buddy's daughter comes down, she's pretty smokin for a 19 year old.

I volunteered to cook for the church youth group this weekend at a camp out.Didn't know it was this weekend till last month

If it was in Kansas, we'd all be happier. 

You East of the Mississippi people have it to good.

OOOHHH,  OOOHHH!!!  I have a really good excuse!!!

I'll spell this out a little better in another thread, but a guy from RC2/ERTL came to the shop this week and took about 300 pictures of the Hemi R/T to use in an upcoming Authentic Series diecast release!

Hmmm... 'Nats, or having my Charger immortalized in top-notch diecast form...

Gotta give props to Just_6T9_CHGR.../Chris for setting me up with that deal, as it was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Chris' car would have fit the bill wonderfully, but I live a little closer to Dyersville, IA than SINY...

More details to follow, including pictures.

I would have moved the same day they told Chris they were coming to his house if they used his car. No way I could have lived with that sort of hype... not to mention ego. 

Nice job Geno! Car is well deserving. I was wondering when the cat would be let out of the bag.

The Nats is something I want to go to, but cash and the fact that nobody local wants to make the journey makes me hesitate. Driving and hotel costs would be a breeze if I had a group of 3 wanting to go. 

ps- If you're looking for a thread hi-jacker, blame yourself Mr. Mod.

Thanks, Chris - but weren't you the one sending those anonymous messages to the ERTL guy's boss, telling him not to go to NY??

I am going to Toronto next weekend for 4 nights then to Niagara Falls for 2 nights, have to save my cash. The dream cruise is next weekend here in Detroit too-piss on it, just one big traffic jam and cops all over the place. I am nuts- I know it.

[resq302]

1.  Too far away.
2.  Have to work and can not get off.
3.  Wife is 5 1/2 months pregnant with our first child.
4.  Lack of money.

[NHCharger]

1. New job with way too much work. Boss was kind enough to give me time off for Carlisle (with pay).
2. To far away.
3. My oldest son worked for me one day a few weeks ago. At lunch time he tells me he lost his academic scholarship for college, he needed a 3.9 GPA to maintain it, only had a 3.7. He needed three thousand dollars by the following Tuesday for his tuition payment. Please see my sig. line below

[ScottW]

I didn't plan the trip due to time and money. I have the time now but still don't have the money. I'll be working on a fuel line leak this weekend. I think next year for sure though.

So that means your going to moparfest in New hamburg 18,19,20.A mopar show you do not want to miss. One hour west of Toronto.

[dodge freak]

Wow I might, going to look for it right now on Google if they have a swap site might very well go. Canadians are honest people to deal with. OK some of us USA guy's are too but the prices are higher. Thanks so much.

[dodge freak]

Yes , its about 18 miles off 401 on the way to Toronto , going on the 19th so if  is not raining-can't rain on Moparfest right-I am stopping there. The web site says its the biggest Mopar event in Canada wow so it has to be great. Thanks so much -5 hours is a long drive, this way I can take a break.
