Well I guess someone needs to figure out our local plans. I am only 70% positive I'm going, but I guess it would be nice to see:

Who else is planning on attending from the NW

Where/when we would meet up around here

How long it will take each leg. (Seattle->Reno->Vegas?)

Where to stay the night on
the way

How much people are planning on setting aside to cover the costs

What stops we would like to make on the way (Grand Canyon, Death Valley, ect)

And any other thoughts.

I'm negotiating with my girlfreind, but I am thinking of getting some JDM parts to sell at or before/after Vegas to help fund the trip. She will be coming back from Japan about a week before, and has offered to bring me back some stuff small enough to fit in her bags.
After I get some prices back from her I'll be better able to see if this idea goes anywhere. Where her Japanese is perfect (native), her Del Sol vocab is limmited.
I sent her part numbers, and we'll see what she can do. She was pretty adamant about things being prepaid since we are going to need it for the trip. Just thinking outloud I guess...

Well her visa expired, so she went home to get that taken care of, and visit her parents and such. She is going to be "checking out some schools" on the next trip, but in reality it was just an excuse to come back anc see me (and go to vegas). After this trip, she won't be back until september. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Again, when I get a list of what they have I'll let you know. She's scrambling to raise money for the trip, so she is really busy. I told her the parts are not top priority since I'm broke anyways.

No big deal (beyond her comming back! [img]graemlins/boy_hug.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/girl_hug.gif[/img] ) . Just a matter of convineance for me since she lives there and can negotiate it all for me. It's going to save some shipping, and since I don't know how to get them as cheep otherwise... But, hey, nothings for sure yet.

I guess i shoulda directed my comments to Mr. Playboy here [img]smile.gif[/img] anyways let me know if your GF was successful in getting the parts. Unless you had her get aftermarket stuff, it might be difficult to get OEM stuff by going to the dealership...

Oem was what I was going for, but she'll figure something out. I don't know if she was going to a dealership or what. She mentioned going to "the Honda store", so I guess she has a plan. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Well to get back on topic,

I have a $25 a night hotel in Reno picked for thursday night, since I am thinking a 12hr drive to reno will whip a lot of us, and getting up and tacklying the other 8hrs to Vegas would be better fresh on friday morning. After that I haven't found a cheep place in Vegas to stay. I know that we will be stopping at death valley and making a trip to the grand canyon at some point, but I still don't know who else wants to go in a pack.
I figure taht some sort of plan would be nice, and a buddy system of some sort would be smart, but I understand that not everyone can leave thursday.
Thoughts?

So since we're getting down to the last few weeks, I figured I would see who else is going and what the preferance is. Again, I was planning on stoping in Reno/Sparks for thursday night, and I plan on staying at the howard johnson fri & Sat in Vegas.
From what I gather on this thread the attending list is as follows:

A.Oster
stylpntbil
Robert Wampler

Please chime in with your thoughts. I would hate to go at it alone, but I don't want to drive for 21hrs straight on friday. I'm booking a room here in reno:
Wonder Lodge
775-786-6840
430 N Lake St
Reno, NV 89501

Looks like it will run about $35-$40 that night and about $180 for Vegas. Estimate three to four tanks each way.

Wow, I put off booking until I had more cash: big mistake. I ended up booking at the Orlenes becasue it was comperable.

Someone suggested taking the salt lake city route, so I guess we need to figure out whos going, when they are leaving, and what route they want to take.

Sorry to nag, but I like to plan ahead. [img]wink.gif[/img]

So, Its like t -3 and counting... I'm still looking for anyone from this area thats wanting to go as a group.
Planing on leaving thursday, stay the night in reno, head on friday morning to vegas... anyone else coming or is it a lone sol in the desert?
With this route we're planning on stopping off in maryhill to get a stonehenge photoshoot if we can, and head through burns and winnamucca on the way. Maybe havea drink at the bucket of blood, and relax that night in reno/sparks. Next morning will send us through death vally, and onward to Vegas.

PM me and we'll get a plan... planned?

<hr /></blockquote>i'm just redoing the exterior since i got side swiped. Engine bay wont be done till i pull the d16 and am damn near ready to throw the PMTR in it. Its just going to be flat black in the engine bay so nothin snazzy. Interior...eh...i might actually spray a shit load of undercoating as a cheap sound deadener and to just clean some things up a bit. but we'll have to see wassup.

Re: Vegas Invasion Run: Logistics and Roster

Logistics software development is an essential aspect of modern supply chain management. It involves the creation of software solutions that facilitate the efficient movement
of goods and services from one place to another. From inventory management to transportation tracking, a logistics software development company helps businesses streamline their operations, improve their bottom line, and provide better customer service. However, developing logistics software can be a complex and costly process.

The cost of logistics software development depends on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the features required, and the level of customization. According to Clutch, a B2B research firm, the average cost of developing custom software in 2021 is between $75,000 and $450,000, depending on the complexity of the software. However, logistics software development can be more expensive due to the inclusion of real-time data and advanced analytics capabilities.
