I need regional contacts for arranging the caravan. I know there are some people on other forums, or run other regional 240sx forums that have started preliminarily planning this. Please contact me regarding this.

good luck with that. i was the only one to drive from the east coast at the 02 convention. there were several people that took the easy route and flew out. i don't see there being as much of a crowd this time around as there was in 02.

reasons? the economy is in the shitter. most folks aren't going to want to spend over a grand on this trip (between gas, food, and lodging), they aren't going to want to drive 40 plus hours there and back, and the 240sx community has been taken over by a bunch of bandwagon drifter wannabe's not true nissan enthusiasts. the 240sx community has been chopped up to a bunch of local and regional divisions. prior to the 02 convention most enthusiasts knew each other from the old amarok email list. so even though the community was spread out across 3000 miles, people still knew each other from online. point being, back then members couldn't wait to meet each other in person. where as now, there are a bunch of "enthusiasts" in their own back yard. and their sentiment will be, "why drive all the way to california when i can meet people right here in my own back yard." (i've already seen this on our local forum.) and lastly, people have no sense of adventure anymore.

again, good luck. lol. i'd go again in a heartbeat, but i'm one of the 10% without solid employment. (i.e. part time.)

Dude, we're 240 owners. I'm sure we could figure out a way to cheap out on SOMETHING on the way.

Lodging. SLEEP IN YOUR FUCKING CAR. Man up.
Food. Ramen. Nuff said.
Gas... Yeah, that's about it.

I'm down for the 40ish hours of driving... My car might not. We'll see. If there is a bigger interest I'll be down for the trip.

fold down the back seat and sleep with your feet in the trunk. i've done it.
if you can't find a rest stop, Wal Mart parking lots are secure and they won't kick you out

In 2002 there were quite a few people from the midwest and the eastcoast that made the trip. From upstate new york, canada and the southern part of florida if I recall correctly.
