Re: Trading Will Call Ticket for Paper Ticket?
It will still have to be arranged well ahead of time.
The will call can easily be transferred on the playa.
That's no problem.
Lot of logistics that shouldn't have to be done.
A lot that can go wrong shipping a ticket.

Re: Trading Will Call Ticket for Paper Ticket?
For the ten to 100 people that might be in that boat, they could ask for pre-approval and a list could be available to gate verifying the tickets. Wednesday, they go to will call and pick up the hard copy. Can't be a huge crowd of people, but it's not just one person. Worst case currently, a crazy p...

Re: Trading Will Call Ticket for Paper Ticket?
It makes no sense. They can easily verify the validity of tickets for early arrival, as they used to do. The only option I was offered, was asking a department to come up with another hard ticket. Is that supposed to be easier than verifying a will call ticket they already have the paperwork and con...

Re: Trading Will Call Ticket for Paper Ticket?
I inquired about this myself and there is no solution available.
It is extremely odd.
All you can do is find someone willing to use your will call ticket.

Re: The Car Thread
James Garner has died. He had an extensive racing career after filming Grand Prix. When filming The Rockford Files, they tried persistently to replace him in the car with a stunt driver and couldn't find anyone that could do the same things. That is truly a remarkable statement, as they have access ...

This is one type. The principle is sound, but I haven't had anyone verify these specific units are good yet. These seem specifically for end of surface mounting, so good for trucks.

Re: The Car Thread
I appreciate it. I know a few things. In case it will encourage any beginners, I didn't grow up around anyone to teach me, so it's all hard won. I actually paid mechanics to teach me the basics. Anyone will answer advanced questions. No one wants to talk basics. If you want to learn this stuff, you ...

Re: The Car Thread
I think aero is overly ignored on high drag vehicles. Everything I've seen like a truck that has been lowered has gotten better mileage, even with tuning that should be worse. It's the drag. My vans were easy to bellypan. The ranger is just sophistcated enough to make it a real pain in the ass. I st...

Re: The Car Thread
Maintaininng the factory minimum is a given. The last car I took to the playa had such a well shrouded air intake, it inhaled no dust to the filter. Unusually thorough design though. I have a spare filter for the truck. Same with plugs. Every time I get a car, it has gaps twice the maximum. I set th...

Re: The Car Thread
If you want to be disingenuous, I recommend raising compression, improving the exhaust, changing the cam and using a mappable engine control, then carefully tuning it, both for load and no load. Have RC tweak the injectors while you're at it. Then you could look at an internally balanced engine, lig...

Re: The Car Thread
I haven't mentioned most of those things, including alignment. What difference would a filter make? I did mention bellypanning, mostly overlooked. Plenty of things to raise mileage, but most people don't want to spend money. Not everyone is operating at the same level of sophistication. What's your ...

Re: The Car Thread
That's quite an improvement! There are some stick on aero aids that should work at the rear of a topper. Not sure if I posted them on here. Be sure to look at bellypanning. Most trucks are wildly drag inducing underneath. Air dams should help. Lowering is better if you can do it. Unfortunately fords...

Jovankat, may not work for you, but I got medical coverage through the airline as a rider on trip insurance.
Since I kept the stated value low, very cheap.

Re: Low Income Ticket Program Information
The Ticket Overlords have a policy of revealing nothing about the process of selection, even when it would make their lives easier.
Theme camps in general won't be a factor though.
Many cost nothing at all, or save money on the trip.
