Me my gf and kids want to watch solar eclipse.  Is there anybody in the path of totalitary that wouldn't mind us parking at there place to watch? I am also a sucker to check out a members s12 though I will be driving my Camry it has working a/c. Seems all hotels and such booked now just looking to find a place to park ha! I live in Michigan was considering going to Illinois or Kentucky give me a shout!   Regards long live the S12

So Cool! My college roomie lives in Oregon ground zero for the event - we will be in attendance! Hope you can find a place. You might check out Craigs list ads for the event; see if anyone is renting space ($$$)

The only hotel I've found in the whole path of totality that isn't booked up that weekend is a 2-star motel in Casper, WY, asking $1200 a night. My buddy and I are probably just gonna sleep in his truck. No way are we missing the eclipse.

No way I'm missing this either being in Michigan I do have a drive ahead of me.  Once I heard of this all the hotels are booked! That's why I threw a shout to other members to see if I could park at there place on day of and maybe see another S12 but I'm not driving mine will have gf and kids in my racing Camry ha PEACE

You can stay at my place if you don't mind the drive.  You can even check out all seven of my S12's which most are parked on your old base, MCAS Miramar.

Lifer I would absolutely love to see your collection but my job only allowed the Monday and Tuesday off for me and I am in SW Michigan but have considered going out your way for a meet one day. I do greatly appreciate offer though! Semper Fi
