Inspired by this post... http://forums.finalgear.com/showpost.php?p=513582&postcount=37
Please feel free to give better title suggestions.
When I was in college we took several cool roadtrips but by far the coolest was a trip to the Kitchner/Waterlou area for the largest octoberfest in North America. The problem was since we were poor college students we could barely afford the gas money to get there let alone lodging. I went with my two roommates, a guy and a girl, that I had known forever. We drove straight through never stopping and stayed at my roommates's boyfriend's house. That would have been ok except my other roommate was screwing her and it all came out during the week we spent there. Awkward does not begin to describe the situation.
Anyway the point of this thread is to organize people who would help fellow finalgear members when they are on road trips or want to visit different parts of the country. For example I live about 45 minutes from Lime Rock raceway.

I am sure plenty of other members live near other cool race tracks, automotive attractions or just cool places. So what I propose is a list of members who would be willing to have some other member stay a night or two while on a road trip or visiting an attraction. I would suggest that people put any restrictions or caveats in your post about your location. For example if you have your own house with plenty of room list that but if you live in a one bedroom studio apartment it is important to list that. Just reply to this thread and I will edit this post to add your name to the list.

Be aware that I am married and although my wife is pretty damn cool she is much less tolerant of rude behavior or too much cocking about then myself. Also since I am married I would have to check with her before I can agree to have anyone crash at my house. I do have a fair amount of room in my house with two spare bedrooms and a large living room/den with a big couch.
Lime Rock is about 45 minutes away but that is really the only automotive oriented attraction nearby. Keep in mind that lime rock does not allow an engine to turn over on the track on Sunday.
