Create event. Since theres a few of us that like road tripping in our time warp drive amc’s, and i was watching roadkill, i had a bullshit idea. What if someone created a spontaneous amc road trip? Once upon a time i tried to do this. I think in its heyday i had two people do it. But the idea was spin the wheel of boredom and pick a destination, then everyone just show up there at a chosen date and time, hang out a while and eat drink and talk, maybe patch up your car some, then hit the trail and go home. Any interest in picking a greasy spoon or burger bar somewhere in the middle of nowhere and have a random amc national reb’s hidout rambling rendezvous? You know waste three or four days and drive the battle cruiser 3-4000 miles of roundtrip nonsense?

I wish I still had my Rogue. I would have driven it across the country on a moment's notice.

It needs tires and a bunch of other stuff. Maybe in the spring. It would cost a fortune to try it in my Jeeptruck.

As far as when goes i was kinda thinking sometime in the next spring or summer since we are in the tailend of this year already. But i’m not the ringleader, just the idea guy. Or maybe the instigator.

Can't do shit with the idiot in charge up here with a closed border and more lockdowns looming. I wish I was able to move south....

Just fly into Mexico and walk into the US, it just requires you to do a little bit of wading. Don't worry about papers or your current health condition, no proof is required. One of the guys from TX could pick you up.....

Never underestimate the power of prayer and the power of the people. Maybe by next year the world can chop the heads off the fake leaders and cure all the problems they are causing

I'm in. That is a great idea. I used to think that once I was retired I would make a huge road trip and visit as many of my AMC Buddys as possible and circle back. Pick someplace and a date Spud and if people can make it they make it. I kinda did the same thing when NAMDRA cancelled the nationals one year. We went anyway. It turned out pretty cool with 6 or 8 cars showing up to run anyway.

Sounds like fun. Just need some advance notice. I would probably drive the Falcon since the current AMC junk is not really set up for longs distant cruises. Unless we wait another 20 years so I can finish the Mat Wagon. And driving the Eagle as it is that far would probably bore me to death.

Well i pooped out on the duct tape drags. My junk really wasnt up to a 2000 mile round trip quite yet. Are we still thinking of a rebs hideout rendezvous? I need something to look forward too , and keep me motivated.
