alright, so me and 8 friends were planning on driving together in a van and a car. now, one of our friends has invited another friend who has no car and we dont have any room for any more people. we were going to divide gas up between us all evenly for both cars but now that we have someone else comming we will need another car and that increases the gas cost for everyone just because one more person is comming who no one actually invited and some of us actually have problems with. any suggestions? we were thinking about just trying to get some more friends to come to even out the costs. also, neither the van or car has a roof rack installed. we were thinking about getting one so the extra person would fit in but i cant find any racks for vans that dont have the attachments on top for a rack. HELP
We had a similar problem with our RV. We originally had 6 people going which was perfect. Good amount of comfort room for all. Then we decided to add another to help reduce the cost. Well then somebody decided that they would add another one of their friends and the count was up to 8. Basically we said no to the extra and so she bailed with her friend and now we're back down to 6 which is perfect...again.
We just had to draw the line and it worked out ok for us. You could do the same but it's a delicate situation, I'm sure.

Just tell your friend that the trip is set, there is no wiggle room, and if he must bring his friend, then they should find a car of their own and split the costs between them. That's what I would do. Everyone who wants to go to Roo, deserves to go to Roo, but at the same time y'all had a set plan, and any changes to that plan should be okay'd by all involved. Just my opinion.

As far as the unwanted "friend" goes, that's a rough one. We did tell a friend that we didn't want him to come on a camping trip once due to the recreational head change we anticipated. It really was for the better.. and he did get over it. As far as the roof rack goes, yakima sells something they call Q towers that work on most vehicles. if you don't have doors on the back portion of the van you might have to hook both bars to the front doors and go with a short wide box instead of a long box.

we are having this dillema, compounded by the same person's health issues (stemming from too much partying and all around dumbassery) and too protective (grand)parents
however, he is moving at the end of june to florida so we don't want to
