Yeah, I've been looking for a while now (over 10 months). I've wanted something AWD, diesel, & air suspension. This one was too good / clean to pass up!
Pics or it didn't happen. :)

Saw Sprocket's Touareg in person yesterday at Kirk's GTG so here's a picture for you disbelievers:

And, finally booked my room.
Hooray!

The rest of you should start booking your rooms, too. I need to know if I need to increase the room block, and the only way of knowing that is with commitments. :)

Just read that Nissan should be debuting the next gen Titan-with Cummins diesel and sequential turbo at the show-not a VW,but a diesel nonetheless;).

Looking forward to seeing it! Hopefully they produce more of those than Dodge produced of the 1500 EcoDiesel. ;)

You can order an EcoDiesel if you want one. It wasn't just an initial run then they killed it. They are actually going to increase the EcoDiesel production to 20% of all 1500 Rams made.

Yeah, I know - but their initial allocation was ridiculously low. Even the increase that they're proposing will result in supply not meeting demand.

I am strongly considering this trip.... As many times as I've been in Detroit for business, I was never able to see the Detroit Art museum or the Henry Ford museum. I'm thinking it's a good time to cash in some road warrior points.

That would be really cool! Tim (TooRoundTDI) is considering coming out, too, and may be interested in carpooling with someone.

I would love to see you! Ypsi is a really neat town bunch of neat Museums nearby!!
I was surprised by how many cool museums there are, especially around Ypsi. There is definitely no shortage of neat things to see and do.

This is a reminder bump that you have a little over one month to book your hotel room at the Ypsi Marriott and take advantage of our group rate of $119/night + tax. The regular internet rate is currently $139/night + tax.

So far only 5 rooms have been booked and the deadline is January 2nd, 2015.

I just sent an email to Frenchie's requesting a reservation.

If you haven't done it yet, please complete the survey form found here: CLICK ME!

I am using this form to get head counts for all of the weekend's events. I will also use this form to determine how many tickets to purchase at the group discounted rate (I think $3 discount per person). If you don't complete this form, you will have to buy your own full-price ticket to the show.

That sounds good. Did you reserve the up stairs room?

I asked about options. I'm fine with the upstairs room if they provide a fan or air conditioning, since it was stuffy up there last year. I'm okay being downstairs, too... it's a bit more lively (for better or worse).

Rooms plural? How many others are coming with you? I might need to add some more names to the list in post #1. :)
