X, there is a reason Spring Zing only happens once a year.

RE: Financial situation. There are no other CEG'ers in Savannah. The closest to me is Ross in Albany, and he's not going. Somebody from Ryan's crib or the NC area would have to make double time to get to Savannah and then down 95 which adds several hours to many people's already lengthy travel time. None of you from Florida were willing to do the same thing when all I asked for was a tag team partner to go to Ryan's with. I'm not whining that nobody will take me. But I am saying that I would have my doubts as time gets closer.

There are 33 days between the last meet at Ryan's and the meet you guys are planning. For a lot of people, that's only two paycheck periods. And then to plan another one in the works for August sounds a bit much. Plus the annual Dragon Run meet in October. I'm all for SE getting back together, but this is a bit much a bit too fast. I wouldn't be surprised to understand that some people are seeing this almost as if you guys are walking in and trying to take over.

And I'm only 19. I'm still paying off on a previous car that I don't even own anymore. Plus a minivan payment that isn't exactly "used car" price. $371.92/month, if you're dying to know. And insurance every six months. Moreover, since the car is financed, I'm forced to carry full coverage. Being a 19 year old male, that doesn't come cheap either. Not to mention tutition this fall. That's another grand and change out of my already-thin pockets.

I'm also settling the score with my local Kia dealer due to an accident in their service bay parking area. The damage itself is extremely minor considering what I've been through in the past, but it's still an annoyance on a car that's merely 2 years old. Black stripes on my tan bumper, a wildly arcing crease right in the center of the sliding door and two curbed wheels. TWO. That's not cheap to refinish. And unfortunately, money doesn't grow in my backyard the way it does with some of you other guys.

Yeah, yeah. I'm not doing anything right now but bitching though. I'll make it to a meet when I make it to a meet.

You guys do what you want. I'm glad you can afford to.
