The moderators have got to be having a panic attack in the mods section..

Yepp. It's like we said earlier this year, very few people vacation in the same place two years in a row. And for a lot of folks, C5Fest is their only vacation during the year.

And let's be honest: there isn't a whole lot to do there. I've lived 2-2 1/2 hours away from Indianapolis my whole life, and I've been there a grand total of three times.

Derek's claiming that the sign up is set up differently this year according to the mods. And that's why attendance is so low. But according to the mods, attendance will be close to last year.

.. Yeah I don't think so.

If there was truly an attendance decline because people misunderstood the "driving part" then there would be a steep climb in spectators. And the wallet theory isn't it because the economy has been slowly improving. It's simply because people don't want to go back to Indy. If they would've put this years Fest in Texas, or somewhere near it, I think they would've gotten a fairly well attendance number.

I want a CAI ugh.

Yeah, if that was the case then the total number of attendees, drivers and spectators, would be similar to last year. But it's obviously way lower.

You can help install mine whenever I get to it.

People just simply don't want to go. I'm wondering where they're going to put it next year. Adam said that huge Mid-Atlantic cruise that had 75 cars last year, will only have a max of 20 this year.

Okay that makes me feel better. If its as easy as people say and it's easy on yours, Ill get mine. I may still want you to help though.

But I want those headlights and fogs too.

Honestly, the original plan was probably the best one. Maybe a change in venues was in order to accommodate a larger crowd, but the regions were more or less all covered.

Sounds good. Hopefully it won't be too painful with the Envoy.

One of the apartments I'm looking at has a dedicated car washing area. Let's just say a certain Carbon Metallic GMC Envoy is going to be constantly in that area.

Omg maybe it I can get the fogs and headlights and we can install your CAI and my lights in one day.

Yay mod day! I kinda wonder if changing your oil in your apartment complex's parking lot is frowned upon too...

One place I saw had garages available but there was something I didn't like about it. Don't remember what.

Oh well. I figure if I don't make a mess they won't care.
