I'm pretty sure I'm going to have enough points for a free hotel. You're welcome to stay with me. That would save you some good coin. I'm getting in Thursday afternoon/evening as well.

I know one person (name withheld) who was semi-joking about taking off his license plates, putting on a ski mask, and doing multiple burnouts in the parking lot to get them in trouble with the hotels.

Stupid and probably illegal as all hell, but still funny.

I'll get my room booked, and then likely offer it up.

I'll never forget the one time I was there (CI-IV) and you were there and that one dude did a massive epic burnout in his C3 that pretty much destroyed the pavement in front of the Hampton or whatever. Chunks of tires were everywhere. Good times, good times.

I seriously considered going to CI this year for the shits and giggles of it, undoubtedly for one last time. I didn't make it last year, but went the 5 years prior to that, and they went downhill every year!! I still might go, with my chair, just to save a spot with hopes that someone gets mad and tries to throw it!!

Hilarity would be to plant rebar into a parking space, spaced so that they all insert into the bottoms of the chair legs, then weld the legs to the rebar.

My space 4 evah!

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

I think (since you're to be right there anyway) that you should make up theVetteBarn.com signs and some business cards for the same, slap the signs on your vehicle and roll through the lots and hand the cards out. Just make sure someone takes lots of pictures to post on CF as there will be virtually noone there to actually SEE you do it.

If nobody does, just throw your own chair and then throw a hissy fit!!! Again, make sure someone is with you to take pix.
