Arriving in Spartanburg, SC From Iowa

[Mikealiasmike]

Hate to impose on anybody but after doing some research and still making a mistake, would any fellow VR's be available to give a lift from Greenville Marriot to Inman SC on the 27th of Dec approx 30 miles? Thought I'd save some money and do the Priceline thing, got a decent price for room but come to find out taxi from Greenville to Inman is going to be astronomical. Would be glad to pay for gas etc but they wanted 70.00 ouch. If I'd known the motel was going to be so far away and in wrong direction... I know, I know, those 2nd gen owners... Appreciate any help with this one. Thanks and God bless. Mike

Wish I was closer, I dont have anything to do the 27th and would be glad to help you out, but its a long way from Pa. sorry and good luck. Craig

Hey Mike,I'd love to help ya out,but I don't think you could afford my round trip rate.

I would call William Shatner and tell him you messed up.

He seems like such a nice guy in the commercials...

Maybe he would give you a lift..

[barend]

Would you like to do that on a REAL bike:witch_brew:, that being a 1st Gen, or prefer a vehicle?

What time are you looking at?

Think I can help you out.

[Mikealiasmike]

Cecdoo, Thanks for the offer, and as for IH... What can I say about a fellow like ol' Bill. I probably have a better shot at beating a 1st Gen in a race then him helping out. Barend, anytime after 08:00 or heck whenever your available. Beggers can't be choosey as they say. Early enough I'll buy ya breakfast and late enough I'll make it lunch. Thanks for any help you can give. God Bless. Mike

[Uturn]

As everyone else, wish I were there to help. Maybe Barend can arrange

your ride.

Just buy him a bowl of GRITS and he will be indebted to you for life.

 

Enjoy your journey!!

Thanks UTurn, I'm sure I will. Unfortunately this is a short trip. Bought a camaro for my son in Inman SC and have to drive it back to Ice capped Iowa. Be my luck though I'll end up buying snow tires before this trip done... Hmmm... Wonder if the've ever heard of snow tires in South Carolina...... lol God Bless. Mike

[tazmocycle]

you may want to take it easy on us scians while you are still looking for help!! lol we've seen some snow before in the state, back in the 70"s we had 18" at one time. shut most of the state down for a few days tho, but we made it! they don't have any cameros in iowa??? hope you got it at a great price. hope things works out for you, don.

You kidding?? We just shut everything down if they even think the work "snow"!!

Actually discovered that if you cook it like they would in Europe (i.e. in milk w. sugar) it's not bad stuff at all. It's that water logged *%@# w. salt that makes me gag just thinking about it!

[ahoutzer]

Nothing wrong with good hot grits!

 

... and no, we don't have any snow tires.

 

I'm about twice as far from the airport as BarEnd, and will be just returning to the area from a week in Florida anyway, so it looks like BarEnd is your best bet -- despite that he doesn't appreciate grits!

[Mikealiasmike]

Since we don't have "grits" on any of our menus in the frigid midwest, I guess I'll just have to give them a try. And if Barend does give me a ride, heck I'll personally make him a plate or bowl (whatever they come in and thank God I know how to use a fire extinguisher) Thanks everyone for considering the help. God Bless and Have a Merry Christmas and Safe new year.Mike

Thanks UTurn, ......buying snow tires before this trip done... Hmmm... Wonder if the've ever heard of snow tires in South Carolina...... lol God Bless. Mike

You want to see a REAL Cluster F**K - Let them have snow anywhere from Atlanta, GA to Charlotte, NC. You'd laugh you a$$ off. Barend was right, even with heavy frost, they close the schools. How do I know all this? I was Born, Raised and Run off from SC.

Spoke to Barend this afternoon, he's going to pick me up so to all who replied Thanks. What a great family we have here. I did have a master plan now though, perhaps I should load up several of my friends and they come out too. We could start a school for the snow driving challenged individuals who have so much trouble driving in snow, rain, ice, etc... oh wait... nevermind forgot about global warming. Where was my head... probably stuck in a 4' snow drift with my tractor. God Bless, Mike file:///C:/Users/MIKESL%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg
