Sun, James, Wolfs, Angela, Fred, Shawn, you all better show up to rep the MB's. No whining about the drive!!! We're usually the ones haulin' our a$$ down O.C. way.

James, the Man ain't too bad around here, just don't try to prove the K8 has been de-limited and you're prolly OK.

It's a nice drive once you're outta L.A. Killer weather too, should be nice. Get some MB's up here guys/girls.

I'm waiting to hear from Group5 tomorrow to see if they want me to go. If not that's cool too because I need a break from all these LA/beyond trips. Gas =

I'll be driving up from Long Beach Airport. I have a trip from New York with JetBlue Airways (I'm a pilot for them) and I am actually on a layover. So, park the jet at 10:30, jump out of my uniform and into regular clothes, and on the road by 11:00. Be there by noon.
Can't wait.

I have a question. Is it ok to bring old vehicle? It seems like most of cars are 2000 or newer. Mine is 1990.

Jay, it's a total of 180 miles from San Diego. I would think it's something like 85-100 miles from OC.

We're leaving SD at about 6am so if you're going I will see you there.

I'm taking off from Costa Mesa (405 & Fairview). Mapquest said it takes about 1 hour 45 minutes of about 105 miles. So, I am guessing about 2 hours.

I hope Saturday morning works better, but it is kind of pain to pass 405 between LAX area to 101 conjunction (esp. near Wilshire & Sunset Blvd. exits).

If any OC people want to drive up together, let me know.

Hey Jay, I think its about 90 miles from my house. I am now in the OC too but probably cant pull this one off because of other items I have to handle.
