Kick starter has you set a goal to reach and then like 50% of what you make after racing that goal goes to a charity of your choice. Just throwing that out there. And as far as stickers go I was thinking vinyl overlays just for the rear side hatch windows. Not like plastering the cart with little stupid stickers.

I like the idea. I'm sure there's no way I could do something like that, but you sure dream big. I thought I was dreaming big when I wanted to have a 360 Eagle & you're planning a trip to Alaska & back. Good luck to everyone. THAT would definitely be a road trip.

There is certainly potential here for decreasing the costs a noticeable amount through those efforts. I was imagining more of a posterboard with "AMC Eagle Nest" and other sponsors that can be set up at each picture taking location. It would be seperate from the cars but well featured as part of the trip. The DVD is an important effort for all those who share our dreams in spirit.

I also consider 5x7 flags like a funeral procession would have fair game. That could have a sponsors logo on it.

I just wanted to keep this one alive and keep everyone excited.  I have the SX4 now and I am going to start a push to have both cars going and have the wife drive one.  When I came up on vacation in 2008 I had a year to plan and it all came together.  Lets keep it going and have the End of the Road Eagle Meet next summer!!!
