AMVIV - T-30!!!!

It is only 30 days to AMVIV!!!

Yes, times are a little tough right now - but if you can, you should take a break from the trials and tribulations that are wearing you down. You know you can only handle so much before things start fraying around the edges.

A 3-day weekend getaway to America's Playground may be just the medicine you need. With rooms at Palace Station going for around 79 bucks a night, its about the cheapest vacation you can get these days.

Weve got several runs planned, with lots of twisties for maximum motoring bliss. We've got a great list of venders who'll be showcasing their wares at the Boot and Bonnet Show. We've also planned our annual car show - "Show and Shine" - at SAFE House, with proceeds to benefit this local charity.

We truly hope to see you there. Don't worry if you don't have a MINI yet - many of us would be glad to take on a co-pilot for one of the runs. Who knows? By the end of the weekend, you might be headed to Desert Mini to get one for yourself.
