Dang... I almost want to come all the way home (will be in LA for the week) just to ride back down in that sucker...

That is going to be a fun trip....

Cheers,

I was already hooked by the headphone racks on the back wall, but the Mobile WiFi for rolling meet impressions really put it over the top! Hope the Hilton has a place of honor reserved for us.

Al, how tall is that sucker? If it is taller than a "normal" sport ute, we may have to figures something out quick. It should be no taller than a GM Yukon XL.

Nice ride Al!
Leave it to the Dom to find the hot ticket.

A guy I know drives one over the hill from Santa Cruz and says that it drives just like a regular full sized van.
It is a little taller than a big suv (you can stand up inside) but I don't know by how much.
You can probably go to the Dodge website and compare it to something like a full sized Ram pickup.
Maybe you could get an official looking sign, put it on an easel and you could park it in the lobby.

The height ranges up to about 10.5 feet but varies because of AC units on the top of some of them. I don't know if the valet areas has size limits Greg, but the Hilton said that it will have to be parked in the valet zone and that it is outdoors near the lobby. If you look at pics of their shuttle, it seems like it will be no problem.
