Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 234 | Alright, so pretty far (8 hours), but not crazy far (like here to NY).

It is about 900 or so Kms from Melbourne to Sydney. I live in Melbourne and Sydney is the last place I want to go. It is the worst place in Australia.

Car: Mazda 3 MPS Rep Power: 2 | What sucks is that they haven't actually told us where the show is going to be held. As big a fan as some people are, I'm sure driving 2 hours out of town on a weekday night would be a stretch for most of us.
