The 7.3's bore is approximately 4", FIY. I don't remember the exact, but it's very close to 4" on the spot.

Did you check out the prices on Kayak.com? I'm going to book another trip in November.

I did. I actually went there, and it lead me to another site, which lead me to priceline.com...which is where I found the best deals...but I had waited too long, and I wasn't happy with the flight times. I want to fly out late friday night, and leave mid-day on Monday, and fly directly into cedar rapids. If you price out that flight for this weekend, it'll cost about $1,000.

Wow, just got caught up. I hope we dont ever move this to the chat room, cause for one, it doesn't work on my computer no matter what version I download, and two, then it only would work if we were all sitting in the chat room all the time, rather than what we are doing now. Hope everyone had a good weekend, back to the grind tomorrow.

I was thinking, lets say a guy has Friday and Saturday off instead of Saturday and Sunday, could that said guy move hump day to Tuesday? I dont think I can wait till Wednesday...j/k.
