I think if they're once a month they'll stay larger. Which is cool. But yeah if they're more often I'm more likely to make them every now and again.

More cars the more likely you'll get split, the more likely you'll get stuck behind someone and unable to get around them, the more likely there will be at least one idiot that crashes.

I find that 2/3 cars is often a BLAST but so is 30 in a different way. I think that 5 is often awesome if you know each other and can all drive.

We had a trip snowboarding with 4 wagons and we had a BLAST!

i think the best drives i were on was my first caravan (from walnut creek to fremont for that one BAM...sac crew came down 680 and met us, we had a HUGE group going down 680 that was really cool)

and then BAM 9 i think, on the east bay caravan, we took some a detour of highway 4 and mobbed a long twisty road..that was like 25+

Shoot.... all you guys were so backwards in gilroy. LOL. I had to wait twice because of different people getting lost or taking the long way around.

Then two of us took a nice little detour... it was fun for me anyways. LOL!

Not sure I'd want to be a leader. I don't want to be responsible for someone trying to keep up with me and putting themselves in a wall. But I'd like to be in the "advanced" group. LOL!

It's not hard I am just being lazy about it and need to go there for the tune anyway haha

As far as your mileage. Your the only one I know running that setup so I couldn't tell ya.. Is it mostly city driving? My brother in laws 2.5i impreza only gets 21 mpg avg but all he does is city driving...

Damn either somethings really wrong with his car or he leaves it at redline all day...I push my wrx hard and I average 22-23mpg and my gfs 2.5i gets 26-28mpg

Even when driving all city it doesn't get that low
