Road trip!

[willimo]

So, laying in bed last night trying to fall asleep, I had an idea.

I'll send my recently completed green Civic coupe on a road trip!

What sort of road trip? Why, a trip to visit all my AF friends and their models of course!

So here's the deal. It's not the greatest model so I don't mind it getting mailed around. What's going to happen is after I get enough interest (if I do), I will mail it to the first person on the list. Once at that person's house, they will take the car out of its box and take some pictures of it! This would be whatever sort of pics you like; with your model collection, with you, and most preferable, at sites around town (if you don't mind people looking at you weird). If you live in a small town, that's ok, take it to your favorite burger joint or something - there's bound to be something of note to see. This is a road trip, after all. That's the whole idea. After you've taken some pictures, pack it back up in the same packaging, and send it to the next person on the list. The cycle will repeat.

Hopefully, the car will go all around the country visiting different AFers. I will create a special Photobucket account for it and keep those pictures there, and post them in a thread so we can all watch as it travels.

For this to work as planned, I ask a few things:

1. You must be willing and able to pass the car on. Shipping will be between $5-$10 for each leg. If you don't have $10 to pass it on, don't sign up.

2. I will pack it best I can, with a box nested in another. If one or both the boxes are in really bad shape, please replace them.

3. Please don't canibalize the poor car. There isn't anything on there that isn't readily available elsewhere.

4. Have a camera, so that you can contribute. It's no fun for it to go around and not be documented.

5. If you are overseas and want to participate, that's ok. However, shipping overseas is much greater than domestic, so you'll have to make special arrangements with someone to get it to you, and be willing to pay the high fee to send it back or elsewhere.

This is just a bit of AF fun, it's nothing too serious so don't get mad about any aspect of this. That would be silly.

Who's in?

Hey,

Sign me up will!....Models on tour....The idea couldn't come from anyone as crazy as you. I think the Subarus would love to woop on some civic fartcan.

Nice idea! But aren`t you worried it might get schratced e.t.c.?

[Jay!]

W3rd. You know your 1/24 driver needs to lose some cash in Vegas.

[kicth]

What about for each destination, take a pic out of the post office with the town name before mailing it out?

[mikemechanic]

Sure, send it to Canada. No problem here.

[Jaymes]

I'm in. Put me last on the list though, cause I go home on May 15ish from college.

Southern California is in

[CADguy]

Come visit Atlanta!

We can have a Honda meet at one of the ACME meetings and it can hang for a while until moving on to the next town.

sign me up! This is like that traveling bear thing I (we..i know other people who did it) did when I was little. Sent it all over the US and had people sign it. This sounds fun.
