One time we thought about "regional" G2G's. I think state wide would be better. That way we could see Chandler in his pink TuTu. Seriously, it's hard to find a central location. Richmond is about 4hrs from me as is VB. Maybe Lynchburg, Farmville area? At 8mpg I try not to travel too much with my 87. Now if I swipe my wife's car.....

This is true, 8-12mpg, in the truck, I try not to travel alot ether. but a g2g before I leave VA, would be worth it. and I'm thinking farmville. theres a hapton inn, days inn, comfort inn. sees like a nice old town. hopefully some good bars, and ma n pa style resturants. Looking for specifc places right now, but on the when, no idea
