    We should have an FChat get together!
    I'm heading down on Friday too.
    We should exchange cell phone #s

    Tillman... if you are just looking for a good deal on a car... I had to rent from Enterprise a few weeks ago when my older Mercedes was left smokin' on the highway.... I rented a Ford Focus, unlimited miles, Friday morning thru Monday Morning for a total (including taxes) of $57. Not a great car, but a great deal.

    If you have some extra dough to play with. I believe that it is Hertz who has those "Special" Cars that you can rent, too. Jaguars, Corvettes, Modified Mustangs, all sorts of neato stuff.

    And then there is the exotic car rental agency that was a sponsor at Ferraris on Oakstreet and they offer a 360 in their lineup. :)

    Thanks guys

    There's three of us, so we're going to pick up a Taurus or something similar. My buddy's decided to make the arrangements, so we're good.

    I'll definitely be at Monument Circle on Friday. We're flying in to Chicago Midway LATE Wed and driving to Indy early Thurs for the pitwalk.

    That reminds me....I've been meaning to ask this question, but always forget... Did you ever see that movie "Showgirls" that was filmed in Vegas? And that one guy drives a Red/Tan 348 Spider. I wonder if the production company that made that film rented that car from one of those Exotic Car Rental places there on the Strip? Maybe it was the one that you drove, Andreas...?

    We rented one of those new Chrysler 300's when we were out in Phoenix for the Holidays. I really liked that car. Most adequete power. Very roomy....and love the "Bentley-ish" Styling.
