THAT is a good deal if all things are true.

Too bad I don't "need" a 5th car.

I know that was what I thought....I should find out where it is, I'd like to see it in person just to see one of our cars lol. I think I've personally seen two nice examples of an 83-88 fox thundercat other than my own. :(

Haha no by upstate I mean Eastern. Somehwere right near here, at the capital. It does get thrown around a lot though. Personally I see it as this area, east of syracuse and north of the city...and then ya got central new york which is syracuse and rochester and stuff and then everything else west of that is too  far away :hick:

how in the hell can anyone say anywhere in ny is too far away.  Ny isnt a big state.

A common disease most city people get when they live in the city.  If its 20 or more miles away, its too far.  Most people in the city spend thier whole lives in a 20 mile radius and anything outside of that is just too far.

Yea I'm going to pick my lil brother up next friday from eastman in rochester since we have the same spring break. Definitely a good hike. Long drives don't bother me that much. It'd be a lot more fun in the cougar obviously but I've got....14ish hours of music on my mp3 player...no worries here!

It's taken me 5 hours to travel from my house to the Outerbridge Crossing.  That's about 50 miles......NY may not be big, but one must remember just how many people are packed in the urban/suburban areas of it.

When I go for trips out of state -- which require driving through NYC -- require careful planning and timing not to get hammered by traffic.
