We've already had one mishap in our Festivarian Family just last night.  Fortunately no one was hurt save the family Synchro... but there may be some Mightyfine t-shirts somewhere in a field in Idaho that will go unworn!   Frown

So please everyone...

Drive Save, and Please Don't Exceed 65 mph!!

The rule of thumb is that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas... we can lessen our impact by taking our time and enjoying the scenery on the way down to Telluride!  (Not to mention getting a chance to really enjoy those driving mixes/playlists I'm sure you've all put together for the roadtrip)

I'll second that.  I already rolled one VW on the way to Telluride.  It's not happening to me again.  I sympathize with your friends, and I'm glad no one was hurt.  Let's all get there in one piece!  (one peace?)

Good advice, but I know I'm gonna want to get there ASAP after we leave the Denver airport...however, I want to get there in one piece and ready to take it all in....so I will adhere to all local laws.  See everyone there!!
