Bummin' a Ride?

[EricVonHa]

Thought it wouldn't hurt to try to coordinate a ride from O'Hare to the Bloomington show. So far, there are two of us that would hate to spend $30-40 on a cab ride from the airport to the show knowing that there's a slew of rental cars and Corvettes from the local area already in motion... so, our thumbs are sticking up in the air trying to bum a ride! Of course, we'll contribute a couple $$$ for your time and effort.

I'm arriving Wednesday morning ~noon.

Surf'n'Sun is arriving ~11am on Thursday

Getting a ride from a fellow CAC member would be cool. Like Eric said we are willing to pay with $$$ or a couple of cold beverages.

Guys,

I fly in either 3 hours earlier or 2 hours later. I'll have a rental car but it doesn't sound like I can give you guys a ride. Maybe on the way home.

See ya there,

-Luigi
:cool

Now if I can just get to the show......

I replied in Surf's thread.

but this one has times..

Where are you guy's staying. I could more then likely pick up Eric on Wednesday (not in the vette though, as my son will be with), Not sure but I might be able to Pick up Surf on Thursday. same thing (no vette)

It would be My GTP.

which airline and hotel are you staying at.

I know my wife will hit the roof when I tell her but it should not be a problem

email me for a faster response.. vettxtc@comcast.net

Jeff, you have mail at your Comcast address. I'm arriving at 11:45 at O'Hare... maybe see you there?? My cell phone is in the email. Also will be checking here till 6am on Wednesday (won't be sleeping much )

Jeff how far is the show from O'hare?

Jeff how far is the show from O'hare?

About 32 miles. There is no Direct way to get there.

If you cannot find a ride and need to get a taxi, there are 2 types of Taxis

One type goes to chicago and will charge big $$$$ for the suburbs

the other is for the suburbs. I am not sure which is which, but I think there is an info desk at O'Hare to help with that.

If I remember I will look when I am there today and post later

Thanks Jeff! That 400+hp cab ride was great!! We're in a holding pattern here until some of the other Callaway owners show up so we can start unloading some trucks!

Cool, When I left I saw about 10 vettes sttting out of the semi trailers, so i figured it was starting to move.

Glad you enjoyed the ride, I see you were able to check in..

It was great meeting you and I will see you guys on Friday for sure.. Maybe a bit tomorrow too.
