Can't wait to see some great cars and have some fun along highway 1 See you all soon. Go Fiero!

Fixed it for you!
I can't wait until October! I haven't been on a fun roadtrip in well over a year now, so I'm overdue. I just need to make my reservations and register!

Hey Dale--excellent graphic, once again! You must know someone to talk to over there a CafePress by now. Maybe you could talk to them about adding a unisex, straight-cut cotton tank top, preferably Made in USA, to their options. Wish I could wear the spaghetti strap or women's fitted versions, but I'm afraid those days are long gone! I doubt it will be in the 80s or 90s for our run, but I could use some more tanks for when it is or when we're travelling in the summer. And I'm still waiting for Roy to model one of those thongs for us!!

Just booked a room. Looking forward to meeting some other Fiero people and seeing some nice Fiero's.
Don't forget to come to the website and send in your registration. That makes it really helpful with planning the catered meals and such...
Kelvin, we would love to have you join us. I can't remember the last time I saw you but I know it has been a long time - and too long! The planning of the Run, other than collecting raffle prizes almost handles itself anymore. I think we have a system that works so I don't see a reason to change it. But this will be my last year of involvement, other than as a participant. I have passed the reins over to Shane - who is busy collecting raffle prizes for any of you who would like to donate something.
Matt, there is a merchandise link on the Coast Run site. It have always found it worked best to just offer the stuff up online and let people order whatever and what size they want. That way I wasn't stuck with a bunch of leftover shirts.
Jeannie, thanks for the compliment on the graphic. I think it is my favorite out of all eight we have had. I am still working on ideas for other shirt options. I may have something in a day or so.
Roy, Shane said he probably wouldn't have an official theme this year but I am figuring in late October you can never go wrong with Halloween costumes, for people and cars! We're working on costume ideas!

Nah, I've thought about doing it. We almost painted the ugly little T-top orange last year and dressed it up like a pumpkin! We probably won't even have a Fiero so I doubt I will worry about it this year.

He says like that is a "bad" thing? LOL
I was really bummed when I couldn't make it last year (damn cold!!!), but this year...the stars have aligned...so I'm in!
I'll actually bring the Chrysler Sebring Convertible Club stickers (1" x 7") in black, silver, and white. They look like this:
No, I'm not selling them, at least not here...adding them to the prize list. Shane and/or Dale can figure out the logistics on that.
And yeah, I still have my 1985 Silver GT....still in the original package!
Looking forward to the weekend! ------------------ - Kevin

All set! Hotel reservations are made, registration has been sent in, now... just have to wait. We are working on a fitting costume for the party. We want to keep it under wraps... but we're sure it will get big laughs 36 more days to go!

Exactly 5 weeks away! 11 registrations so far. If you think you are going to come, why not go ahead and register? It sure helps with the planning. If something comes up and you can't make it, all you have to do is cancel and it costs you nothing. Even the hotel just takes your card for security and doesn't charge till you get there.
Ok, finally made our reservations. Reserved a room for my sister and her fiancee. Not sure what car they are driving yet, but they just want to have some fun.
I'll see if they can register with your website soon.
I still need to make hotel arrangements, but I'm getting the old Bugeye ready for the trip. I just repainted the hood (so-so rattle can job), so it's a good 10-footer now and I just tuned it up so it's running like a champ again. Heck, I even fixed the broken seat belt for good measure.
I just hope the weather through the Rockies cooperates like it did the last time I went.....my car and snow don't mix.
See you guys in a few weeks!

Jeannie, the other place I was looking at for shirts didn't have a straight cut tank top either. I'm sorry. Isn't the rage these days to buy a t-shirt and cut it all up anyway? haha
