Forum: MAA 50th Anniversary Drive

A traditional part of our event since 2004 is our participant listing on the website telling who all is coming and where they are coming from. It has always had a map showing the dots (coming soon) as well as a list of people's names and cars. It will get updated usually every few days. Here it...

Just a little fun what is your road food of choice, taste in motel's and most important how much do you budget on a trip. I'm just wondering what everybody budgets per day on a driving trip these days, I haven't done a long trip since 2007 and gas prices have really shot up since then. I used...

Are there going to be any group transporting of our cars for this event? I live in Massachusetts and would like to avoid having to drive 3000 miles before the event.

Here is a link to the latest info coming from MCA about when the registration for the 50th will begin. http://www.mustang.org/showthread.php/4127-registration-for-the-50th-party Seems that the registrations will start June 1st or before? Link to the registration site. ...

I'm reconsidering going all the way to Charlotte because the drive is too much fun to miss. I'm hoping for some MAA cars to drive back home with, I'm not committed to any particular route but I live in Phoenix. Anyone interested?

What does everyone think of having club trading pins, lapel/hat, for the MAA tour. It would be cool if each club would have pins to exchange with other club members from across the country.... and the world. It's a great way to meet each other and exchange pins. Of course there could be a contest...

This will be my first MAA event, since I purchased my Roush P51A in 2010. Although I do not relish all those miles ton the car to drive across country, I would be interested in driving to Mustang, OK, as that seems to be THE place to hold such an event. Since I am in California, the Las Vegas...

I am a member of the Dallas-Fort Worth Wing of the Commemorative Air Force and would like to make a suggestion on the stops in both Midland and Dallas. In Midland there is the headquaters of the Commemorative Air Force and in Dallas there is the DFW Wing CAF and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum and...

I've yet to see a list of locations we will be stopping at. I think I will make a few of my own stops during the event. I'd love to see some of the places I've seen on TV shows like Desert Valley Auto Parts (Desert Car Kings), Gas Monkey Garage (Fast 'n Loud), Gold & Silver Pawn Shop (Pawn Stars),...

I very much want to eat a nice steak dinner at the Cattlemans Steak House off 1 -10 near El Paso. Voted one of the best steak houses in America and featured on several Food Network Shows. Also the Varsity in Atlanta is something to behold if you love the ol fashion Hamburger/Hot Dog Drive In....

I'm shipping my 66 convertible from the UK for the drive; the plan is to find the most convenient/economical embarkation point in UK or Europe, then port of entry into the US, whichever works best, then drive to LA for the first night. At the end of the event, retrace the route to ship car back to...

In 2009 there was a post about music we take with us. From what I remember Brian's trademark song is Sweet Home Alabama, Monika's is Born to be Wild and mine is Life is a Highway. EVERY TIME I hear one of those three songs it takes me back to being on the road and the memories I have with traveling...

Anybody leaving from Indianapolis or Chicago down to the convoy leaving from NC? I have a 98 Gt Mustang that has been waiting for some action! I've been on some unofficial drives with some mustangs driving across country but i'm super stoked for the 2014 super convoy. It would be nice not to have...

When Sam announced that the 2014 run was on, for which Sam we are grateful, I posted the good news on Four Eyed Pride Forum (Early Fox Bodied Mustangs) of which I have been a member and contributor for many years. User name Ausfox. I now find that on attempting to log on or access the FEP Forum...
