Last night the three of us met with our significant others to get them to read, discuss and sign the Spouse/Significant Other approval form. After a careful review of the materials, no one signed. This could get tricky...
We began to develop a list of necessary items to take with us in the car. Kent took copious notes and sent around the list, below.
Stuff:
Plugstrip
Inverter
Aluminum Foil & Manifold Destiny Cookbook?
Cooler
Lug wrench
Tools
Flashlight(s)
GPS
Beer?
Video Mount
Filters – Spin & Sack
IPods & adapters
Sound System?
Spousal/Significant Other Permission Form
Aero Bed
Big mother spotlight
Gutter Roof Rack
Coveralls
Gloves
Elvis Glasses
Elvis Clothes
(Don't forget Elvis lyrics and music)
Work Day:
Insulate Hoses
Windshield Washer
Music
Bolt Down Seats
Veggie Filtering System
Veggie Source
Trunk Partition
Expense Sheet
Given the massive list, we discussed the possibility of a car carrier on top, but I think that would be quite dorky and not consistent with the spirit of the trip. My plan is to bring four pairs of undies, a toothbrush, and a bottle of water. The trunk is going to be full of veggie oil and tools, and the back seat has enough room for, perhaps, Richard, now that he is going to the gym regularly (or at least has a gym membership). Kent or I won't fit. But we think Richrad will enjoy it back there.

Richard, Kent, and Adam (l. to r.)
Will it make it to New Orleans (and back)?
The Vegginator is a 1983 Mercedes 300D, recently converted to run on waste vegetable oil. Richard and Kent and Adam are driving it to New Orleans in the BABE Rally (that's Big Apple to Big Easy) Memorial Day Weekend, 2007. This is our story. (by the way, if you're just catching up on this, start at the bottom)

4 pair of underwear, but no socks? Have mercy!
Who needs socks on a road trip thru the south in May? On second thought, who needs undies? Four days in a speedo!
Just to clear up a possible misconception... Kent and Adam may not fit comfortably in the back seat, but they will fit. And since Adam isn't bringing clean socks, hanging his feet out the window may be just the thing.
bring a dog along, wet 'er down. you won't smell anything else, and you'll have a pillow in the back seat.
Are you going to update your blog while on the road? Where are you going to go for refills? BBQs? Post a video if it starts to smoke.
Oh yeah, we are going to update the blog on the road, via my ancient laptop that will no doubt smell like french fries by the end. Look for info to come on our refueling strategy.
STARTS to smoke?
It's smokin all right!
