Using my non-Ivy League education, I assume that a map with a green space and "Roosevelt Park" in a green font would imply that it's a park, not a mall.

If you still need directions, just plug in the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Oak Drive in Edison as the "destination" - a "destination" is where you end up.

This ain't rocket science, you know.

If you show up at a Benz meet in a non-Benz car, you are probably missing the point a little. Though I guess that personal safety would have to come into play if you have no brakes.

Yes, Tommy, if my 56k modem would download the map, I'd be able to distinguish between mall and park.

Really, my 2000 has no brakes and my 1979 needs a right front tie rod, I think, and a valid inspection sticker. Either way, I think my Benzes need to stay in Hunterdon County on Saturday. G-wagens copied their suspensions from Rovers anyway, ya know.

Plus, don't you want me to show up so you can report back to all of the horndogs around here? I might even wear a skirt...

lmaooooooo!

Somewhere in this thread I asked if I will be the only gal there...

Maybe I should bring a stick to fight you guys off?!

(not that I think I'm all that, but if I'm the only chick, I could be in trouble, eh?)

The way it sounds, you'd better bring the E430, so you can speed out of there.

Funny! No, I'll bring the truck and run you guys over; I could do that with the 430 too, since it has no brakes. Really, I just drove it to the store. I stopped in the middle of the intersection. This is very bad...

You'd better change those brake pads before you need rotors too.

Maybe we need a list of who is bringing what? Seems like everybody is bringing soda. Does anyone have charcoal for the grill?

Weather report is looking good.

By the way, I've seen nobody volunteer to bring the Johnnie Walker Blue. We may have to choose a volunteer.

well, you can never have enough soda and ice!

ok, here's a list:
slk boy - meats
Tnat - deli - reubens! whoo hoo!
tommy - mt. dew, ice
dwang - big *** cooler (i hope not literally) w/ sodas
rbrenton - paperplates, cups, utensils, napkins

i'll bring the soda/water anyway, but if Tnat doesn't mind, i can chip in for some hoagies/reubens from the deli... maybe some side dishes - jalapenos???

Safet - if he shows up - extra chips/beer

--

i think slk boy would bring the charcoal (b/c he's bringing the small grille), but just in case, can someone get a bag of charcoal also? if not, we can make a run if needed.

steve, if you are going to make it, that would make 13 people who have actually confirmed their attendance.

about 6 more people have shown interest but haven't confirmed. lurkers, of course, may show up. further up the thread is a list i've roughly compiled.
