Come on, might be fun to see who's planning on attending. Then just modifying it later when the time gets closer. I'd be curious to know who we can plan and look forward to seeing in a year. And MAYBE if people know who plan to attend....they may plan to attend themselves....Hmmm.......

about 23 hours to get to Bryson City from Loveland. Hmmm, I want to visit all 50 states and I've never been to Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, or North Carolina.

I had intended to call then last weeknd to give them a heads up and make our reservation but didn't have the time. I'll probably call them next week some time. I've also made it my task to check out the local newspapers, if any to see if they want to do a story.

Come through northeast Oklahoma on the way and we'll bugavan the rest of the way. That way you can also add Oklahoma and Arkansas to your list.

Don't you worry, Gary, we will definitely keep the TOD at the top of our agenda.

Put me and my mom down as possible. I have been to the great state of Oklahoma but not Arkansas. Thanks! Sounds like a good plan SixChuter!

Cool! Advanced planning is a good thing. BTW, some of the best scenic roads in the world are in Arkansas. Beautiful place.

Cool, you and mom will be added with question marks. Start putting 10 bucks a week away and you won't feel a thing come next May

Is there supposed to be some hidden message in there somewhere?

I would Michelle, but there just are no TDI beetles here! Well, there is this one silver one... but its waaaay past my budget! If it didn't have low miles, that would be worse!

Anywho, FREE BUMP!!!

And if there are any doubters, check out the post event comments for the 2K09 ToD GTG. Positive raves would be an understatement. Then go to the associated picture thread and check out those posts

That silver one is pretty sweet...thought I love this "5 Speed Shiftable Automatic" .... LOL it's a 2001 it's not a tiptronic so what does that mean? I can shift gears in mine, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and drive. I believe all automatics do that. lol

67K is great for a TDI. You could talk them down because TDI's aren't in high demand right now because the fuel prices have gone down. That's a bit high IMO. Plus, it'll be do for a TB change as well very soon, so you could talk them down on that.

Have you checked the TDI club for NB's? They've got some good ones for like 3K! And those cats over there, boy do they take care of their cars! Might want to take a gander over there...I'll see what I can find real quick.

White one $4999

Another one for $7800

There is more, I just haven't fished through them all. And those guys on TDI club you could talk them down (though so far I like the white one...53mpg is GREAT!)

Wow! That silver one is only a few miles from where I am now (staying a few days at sisters new house)

And of Course you like the white one! That white one has your rims!! But no A/c... And it was 100* here yesterday...

Thanks Michelle! But I needs a dealership! I need monthly payments and you remember what happened when we tried to get financing throught the CU...

But 53MPG sure sounds nice! That here to the start of TOD on one tank of Gas!!
