2016 Power Tour

[arcane73]

I don't know if I'd bring my car (since it's not in any shape yet to really cruise) but I'd like to come to a stop and meander around.
I'm still a bit miffed that the tour went through MS and New Orleans after I moved west. Figures that I leave and the tour runs through my home state and then into the city i just moved from.

I'd love to see some cruise through PCH 1 in California, maybe up to Washington even, or even through Colorado... something different.

And I'm all for that. The wife and I are planning to do the same type of runs once i get mine dependable enough.

I've always wanted to go, but these legs are always so far East... it's always quite a roadtrip from Arizona to get to the starting point of a roadtrip, then a roadtrip back home... so 3 roadtrips in one, kind of a long time and a lot of money!

It might be worth looking into shipping the car.

It might be worth looking into shipping the car.

Nah, not for around ~$1000 each way, then the hassle of meeting up with it, the worrying about it, etc. I'll do Power Tour someday, but I'm going to have to set aside a couple weeks, and a few thousand $$$.

Hey Bill,

Are you and I going to ride in a GTO or should we get another limousine for the 2016 Tour????

[72BBSwinger]

Take the Charger for gosh sakes...

[Bill Howell]

Ha, no guys the cutlass is built for road trips, it will be the ride for 2016

I live in Louisiana. I'd definitely like to try it if I'm home.

[Yelcamino]

Carol and I are interested. I've been on three Long Hauls but she hasn't been on any, so it should be a good time for us.

[PT Sportwagon]

This sounds like a fun trip. Depends on the timing, where to where and most important $$$$$$. I am looking to take the wagon on a long trip this may be it.

I'm hoping to have my minitubbed 69 chevelle finished and try to make it this year! Have they made the route yet?

[Mr Nick]

Not even close to getting a route. The dates and cities should be announced soon, the route usually isn't posted till just a few weeks before the tour.

IM READY TO ROLL...

Oh- I'm getting married on the "Tour." We have arranged w/ Hotrod to actually be on the stage the kick-off day!!!

So in Gonzalez, LA- June 11th at 4:30PM Lisa and I will be getting married by an ordained minister "Kid Cadillac" in front of a few friends AND hundreds of others that share the same passion for cars- You are welcome to be there !!!

A car show and a wedding- How cool is that!!!

We have decided to do the Tour this year in her new Mustang- She just bought a 2016 "California Special"... I know- I know...it's a Ford!!!
Has great AC- overdrive gears, reclining seats, a trunk and did I mention 435HP?

Plan B -

[T.K.]

I think shipping is an option. If we can get enough people together to hire the entire truck. When I moved in the service that's what we would try to do.

I didn't particularly enjoy PT that much. I wouldn't do it again unless it was with a group of people... From here or otherwise.

[Nine Ball]

This will be my 11th Long Haul since 2003. I plan to do it in my '69, if I finish it in time. If not, I have a few plan B options.
