Hi everyone,

FYI, I booked a room a little farther away (near Sea-Tac airport) through Hotwire. Red Lion Inn, 3 star, $72.26 including all taxes and fees.

You jest, but a few of us were talking about that last night. Not seriously of course. But on how easy it really would be knowing how the system works and its short comings.

This post will probably get removed and I understand why. But just why
again won't certain people in CA (like your governor) allow off shore drilling that would help pay for government services? For some of us without those resources in our states, this just seems foolish not to take advantage of.
To me the citizens safety and welfare would be far more important than any environmental concerns would be.

Wonder how long it will be before this posting is nuked?

Well, Gee, The last time I checked I lived in Washington State......I hope I am right. This particular site is not for airing one's goverment displeasurements, once again the last time I checked, it is for the Opel folks and their Opel talk. Hey Mike did you get up on the Wrong side of the Bed this Morning? Enough Said.

Sorry, but I didn't start the topic.
OpelWasp who did start it, was indicating as to why he won't be attending your event. Sadly he did get laid off recently and lives in California.
And as I indicated, I'm well aware of the political discussion policy and also indicated I understood if my post was nuked.
The reason this is germane to your thread is that the rapidly increasing cost of gasoline again due to increased demand and limited supplies, was one of the large factors in my decision not to attend your event, me also being unemployed.

I plan on making it for sure this year, I'm having a hard time finding one stock manta rim, early 1971 model. Anybody have a 9 slot steel rim they would part with?

An opel is an opel...
Besides, you don't even have to own an opel to go to this event. You just have to like, appreciate, or be slightly interested in them.

. . . just wanted to say that your avatar and signature look awesome, Mary!!!

BTW, Marty from San Antonio has brought his '78 Buick "Opel by Isuzu" to our meets for several years now . . . that is, until he parked it about a year or so ago . . . those models are actually Kadett "C"s with a Japanese drivetrain . . .
