I do have a friend close by with 97' Aurora so there are two people ready for a meet somewhere. Weekends are always good. There are some minor attractions in the Dayton and Cinci area. one place I was thinking was the Cincinnati Museum in Cincinnati. There is always something cool going on there and the parking lot is as big as 2 Wal-Mart Supercenters. Let me know...

IDK if you know of findlay but i live about 15 minutes north of there in NW ohio. Like i said, if you guys end up doing something, i will definitely show up since i usually drive to columbus about twice a month so dayton isnt that much worse of a distance.

Do they still have the parking garage at the US bank arena? Could have some awesome "hard parking" pictures with the sky line in the background...

You have to pay to get in but there is a new building next to the football field that overlooks the Ohio River into Newport and at night its beautiful. We can park right up next to the building and "hardpark' for a bit. I did it last year with some friends and it looked real neat. The Cinci Museum is a good place to hardpark. Lots of old school buildings, railways, and the building itself which used to be a train station.

Yea... Ive been to the museum, but it was years ago. I havent been to Cincinnati for almost 8 years or so, its been a while. Im sure theres a lot of places to take pics, I just remember the view from that garage specifically because of how you could see the whole skyline.

I haven't been to the Museum Center in over 10 years. Used to go there several times a year when my 2 boys were young and I still lived in no. ky. They do charge for parking there, $6 a car, according to their website. If you've never been to the Omnimax Theatre, it's nice. Like Imax but with a domed screen.
There's probably a few parks in the area that wouldn't require paying to park, if that's what everyone's interested in. Paying to park doesn't bother me.

I'll pay for parking but a park would be nice too. Depends on when we decide to do it and what the weather is like. If its nice out maybe a cookout? If not then the Museum Idea would be nice. I guess what we need to do is set up a date and time to meet.
I need to do some work to the car before traveling down to Cinci. Need to do brakes and an Alignment. When would you all prefer to meet up?

Yeah I would definitely be willing to meet up anywhere. I know where Fostoria is, i have been there a bunch actually haha.
If you guys can figure out when, i can pretty much meet up any day and i dont have a problem paying for parking. Let me know when though so i can get my car in good running condition so it will make the trip without problems. IDK if you guys would want my car in the pics if we do take them cause the paint isnt looking good as you can see haha. But anyways i am defs game for a meet.

I want to take a bunch of pictures. My car was in a wreck and it shows in some areas so don't worry about its looks. I can almost promise everyones Aurora has some sort of flaw.

I took the same way, unless I avoided a toll road. I can't remember. But 5 hours isn't bad.
