I've been wanting to visit the land of the free and the home of the brave for 12 years now! Since I currently don't have any commitments *cough* unemployed *cough* I'm finally making the pilgrimage! :woo: :naughty:

I will be attending SEMA with the mythic & legendary The Godfather (aka Mike) and that will pretty much mark the beginning of my trip :)

I plan to fly in around October 27th, and fly out around November 20th, so 3 ish weeks to see the sights, and just as importantly, meet the Mischief members who have become good friends over the years :bigcry:

So far, in no particular order, I'd like to:
Cruise the PCH
Check out Beverly Hills & Hollywood
Eat a Philly Cheese Steak
Give free mustache rides
Go to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky (yeeeeeHAW)
Drive an Escalade
Fire a gun
Visit Washington DC
Attend a Cars & Coffee meet
Go up the Empire State Building
Be pushed and shoved through Times Square
Learn a cool handshake
Stand in the Glass box in the Sears Tower, Chicago
Say what's up holmes to a Mexican
Drive across the Golden Gate bridge
Go to a taping of Oprah to get some free shit
Marry an American for a Green Card
Go to an amusement park (prob not Disney though)
Visit the Guggenheim
Stroll through Central Park


That's about all I can remember right now, but I'm sure you guys will also suggest some cool shit :)

Aside from Mike, I hope to meet our illustrious leader Dado, I mean Dustin :D Gotta meet up with Sean, Don, Isaac, Chris.... just to name a few....

If anyone wants to join me on any of my adventures, they are more than welcome! Obviously I will plan my trip out. But for now, I'm just sounding out & looking for ideas :)

Should have my ticket within the next few days.... probably going to fly Delta, they have the best deals at the mo. I'm rambling, so I'm just going to hit Submit New Thread and then put a link to this thread in my sig ;)

Bob.

Since this is the south there are also plenty of Gun's, Escalades, and even Mexican's since all those are on your list...lol


Lastly whatever it takes to see/hang when you get here I WILL make happen, if you need travel coin or whatever, just ask. Hell I do need to make a run to Chicago to get my wife's present for X-mas so what about scheduling a trip to me, we drive up through Kentucky, then up to Chicago. Once there you can split off or ride back, or i can drive you to the next destination. Your call mang!!
