$290 for a ride only? That's pretty expensive. It's only 50 dollars more on cheapoair.com for a plane ticket. The car I plan on driving down will cost $125 in gas each way.... I think I might stick with that.

[BisonGuru]

But can you drink while you drive legally?

Also you are paying for a couple of drivers to drive for you. also you can get up and walk around. I will pay an extra $40 to have someone else drive me.

[sambini]

No game tickets ????

[Vitojr130]

hotel as well

Our group is going to be paying a total of $200 per person and that includes ticket, gas, food, alcohol, and two nights at a Marriott.


But can you drink while you drive legally?

Haha nope. I can't "legally" drink anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem on the way down.

[Vitojr130]

Yeah this would be nice. Eh, I'm a broke college student so I will need to save that $40 for some grain belt or something.

[BisonGuru]

True, we all have been there. Have a safe drive and we will see you in Texas!

[MN_BISON]

Are hookers and blow included in the cost?:eek:

[Vitojr130]

Haha yup. You to! It'll be my first trip to Texas, but I have all kinds of family in OK so this trip will be a double whammy!

What bus are you on? I want in!

[Vitojr130]

What bus are you on? I want in!

Haha I don't have a bus. We are taking my girlfriends car. She just bought a brand new car in November, so we might as well make use of it! The thing gets crazy-good gas mileage for being a V6 (like 35 to the gallon at 75mph) and the entire trip should cost less than $250 in gas (assuming gas prices dramatically rise to $3.50 per gallon). That's only 62 bucks per person, tops.

[jimmyptubas]

If you supply the blow I have a feeling I could find some hookers who'd be interested :biggrin:

Wear and tear on your car according to the IRS is $0.555 per mile so on your 2200 mile trip that would account for $1,221 of wear and tear on your girlfriends ride.

[BisonGuru]

Haha, it was pretty quick!

[Bison Fin]

Haha, it was pretty quick! can't beat the $298 plane ticket! It's more like 500 now

[BisonGuru]

can't beat the $298 plane ticket! It's more like 500 now

yeah, the bus is our only option because airlines won't let my 9 month pregnant wife on and a car is to small for her. She needs to be able to get up and walk around.

[Vitojr130]

Well, if anything happens to it, it has the bumper to bumper warranty until 36,000 miles and that covers EVERYTHING and anything.

[Yellow]

Dear Bison Fin, thinking about MAYBE taking the "burban" to texas with the Rocker. You may see me in Texas after all

[CAS4127]

Depreciation too??!!

[Vitojr130]

Depreciation too??!!

We will probably end up keeping it and running it into the ground. It was a very good car for the price we paid.

[Bison Fin]

Rocker road trip eh? sounds like a pretty good time. PS I didnt even know you were on BV

I think Vic is just looking for a little highway helmet. Good luck to you young man.:eek:

[Swaghook]

Hope you fill the bus. For us we are driving down with a family of 4 it just makes more sense. If only 1 of us was going the bus would be the way to go.

[Nazib C]

Do you have have a spot in you car? I would be willing to split cost

[BisonGuru]

You know Karisa?

Yes, i know Karisa

[BisonBabe]

Sent you a PM

[Bison Fin]

How many people do you have on that bus so far??

[BisonGuru]

How many people do you have on that bus so far??
I think 30 we need 10 more for sure.

[td577]

I might be in. I want to see how the ticket situation plays out tomorrow.

[Bison Fin]

I think 30 we need 10 more for sure. nice! Sounds like you should fill er up for sure

[DIBISON]

Yes, i know Karisa
She's my daughter!!

[BISON1434er]

Depending on NDSU's ticket release tomorrow, I may be interested as well. Which bus company is this through?

[DIBISON]

How many you got NB? I just got a phone call and told them to check with you.

Hey Nate, if the Fargo Jet Center cancels the charter flight I would be interested. They will decide tonight.

Sounds good! We should have room if you know in the next couple days. I heard there will be three of you total traveling down there. I talked to Andy last night and he was really excited!

[BisonGuru]

Hey Nate, if the Fargo Jet Center cancels the charter flight I would be interested. They will decide tonight.

Can you send me a message with your email address so I can send you the information. Thanks

[DIBISON]

Just confirmed our flights on the Fargo Jet Center charter. How you guys doing, goint to get enough people?

[NDSUdonny]

Yeah this would be nice. Eh, I'm a broke college student so I will need to save that $40 for some grain belt or something.

Been there, buddy! If you end up having to watch on TV, look for the drunk guy!

[A1pigskin]

Put this on the radio, like Jay Thomas Show and see what comes from it. For those that have tickets will be an easier sell than those who do not.

Jay is on vacation until Jan 3rd so may be too late for that...perhaps try Christopher Gabriels program would be an option. While they are both on WDAY 970 they have been very supportive of NDSU Athletics.
