How hard is it to get a tire sponsor? I don't think my BFG radials are going to make it to Florida, let alone the whole route and back home

It really doesn't matter what you show up in. It's just an awesome car event to go to! If you can show up in something nice it's just that much better. Lots of people take normal everyday beaters just to cruise and hang out.

I agree, i shouldnt complain. I've been doing it since 99. I've spoiled myself almost every year by having something different that no one else takes, it makes it more fun. But after frying myself last year with no A/C i'll gladly take tinted windows and a/c this year, no possibilities of blowing air bags on air suspension, overheating fuel pumps, and all that jazz

A stock GTO is still a great car just go slap an exhaust on it so it sounds the part or electric exhaust cut outs?

AC hose went out on me and its the big one the goes behind the compressor. The compressor has to come out to get the line out and a new one in. So, now I have a dilemma (sp?)drive with no a.c., take my DD or cancel my HRPT. I know it's going to be hot toward midday thru the afternoons on the tour. How many of you would drive the tour with no AC?

Come on man dont let that stop you its not like your the only guy with out ac just pop the t-tops and cruise.There will only be about 3-4 hours a day driving then you wont even be in your car so it will be hot regardless.
