Same with this cult like worship of Steve Job's. The man was a legendary pri(k - even his Facebook friends said that (LOL - couldn't resist!). Smart guy, in some cases lucky, in other cases sneaky (ask Steve W. about their first deal with Atari and his share in the profits). 20 maybe 30 years from now he'll fade into the Henry Ford area of history - smart but personally flawed human beings - not high tech God's as each of their era's try to project.

I'm in for the 23rd in spite of you all Facebook marketing $victims$.

I might be able to do the reverse trip on the 30th might be a variation of the 23rd.

All true, but If someone decides to skip the first and do the second that's the risk they take. And I'm sure for those who can't do the first one, they'd rather have the possibility of one on the 30th than nothing at all.

How do you keep in touch with close family memebers that are on a different continent/time zome. To me, facebook works extremly well for this but my list of "friends" is rather short. The alternative is emails but that is such a PITA for pictures.

You got it "bang on"....

A shot at the 30th is better then no shot at all.

Maps have been emailed out and posted in the facebook group. There are a couple people whom I've only got pm's from that I responded to asking for email addresses, as I can't attach the maps to a pm.

If you've been left out, I apologize - please send me a pm!

And both the emails and facebook postings included a suggested route modification. I haven't been able to check it out, but have no reason to doubt it might add some fun. If anyone's good with google maps, could you please enter the route in so we can share it? I tried, but I think there's a max # of route modifications you can enter, and I ran out of patience.

So pick your day, the 23rd or 30th - we'll do it both days!

We have a request to be joined by some Italian company. Not necessarily the drivers, but the cars.

What say all? I'd love to have them along myself.

If that's the situation, I have a Z8, R8, F355 itching to come along too.

If we open to other marques.... It's going to be a 70 car cruise given good weather.

I'm fine with that. As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier. If we are at those kinds of #s, we may want to designate a couple leaders, because the group will definitely get separated. And maybe add in a couple rendezvous points. I can see a few bridge passes attracted the attention of law enforcement...
