Alright so I get off work last night, and stopped by wal-mart to get a few last minute things before going home and packing. I stopped at a buddies house for no more then half an hour to say farewell, and my keys go missing. Btw I have no spare because im prepared like that. Anyways, we ripped my car and his house apart with like 3 people for a good 2-3 hours. So the keys are missing but obviously in his house somewhere(im 50% sure the car key gnomes had something to do with this). So I planned on driving up there alone about umm 15 minutes ago, but I'd like some opinions on what I should do now. I can go get a key cut for an easy 50 bucks, and the drive there and back will probably be around 150$, but im on a hardship liscense still because I missed my appointment at the dmv this morning.
The other option, is riding up with some really good friends later this evening. Only problem is they leave straight for burning man afterwards, so I would have to find a ride back. That is after all how I made it home last year, but there is still an issue with a cooler and too much gear. Biggest reason is I just dont want to put anyone in a bad situation, even if im paying for a ride it only makes things harder for others. If worse comes to worse I figure I can take the bus home from nashville since they will be going by the airport.
So thats my story and my situation. Do you guys think I should just suck it up and pay the price to drive, or just ride up and rely on the good will of others for the ride back. EITHER WAY IM LEAVING SOME TIME TODAY WOOOOOO
Well, are you ever gonna drive that car again? Or are you holding out hope that your keys will be found? My wife lost her key a few months back, but we had spares. Two months later we found the keys in my daughter's bedroom. If we didn't have a spare key we would have paid the $150. Taxi fare adds up, ya know. On the other hand, I'm sure you could find a ride home with an Inforooer. Heck, I could get you back to Atlanta if that helps.

If you've got the spare cash to get the key made, get the key made. Or go spend the afternoon over at your friend's house lOOking for them. And then get the key made. You can leave late tonight or tomorrow morn, at worst. I'll be wishing you luck today that everything falls into place.

I'd loose my ass if it wasnt attached to me, and thats a fact. Look it up. They are working burning man, and from what they explain they have some sort of site set up way in advance. They are also going to san fran for a bit so that may be before. Well yea since I know they are in the house, I figure if I gave it a week they would pop up, and I could just a copy for cheap. Actually a ride back to atlanta would help quite a bit, but see there is still a problem with room, as I have a cooler and my gear. Its not a giant 5 day cooler, but its like a 2x1 1/2 ft. I dont think I need to describe it, just basic gear for one person heh. Im also thinking of just bringing a cheap one that my friends can have so it wont even be an issue
I just had new tires put on, and if it wasnt for that then money wouldnt be an issue, and the key would have probably been made already lol
I can also get you back as far as ATL. I am going solo and have a four door pickup. So a cooler and some extra gear is not a big deal. Let me know if you need some help.

Well, hell, just ride up with them. Bus ticket back would be $100. Or maybe you can find someone to ride home with. I'd take you with me, but I'm having my own issues, ha and am not planning on driving back to FL next week.

Grab a pitchfork and go on a gnome hunt!!
But yeah, if you can't find the keys I'd worry about it post Roo and just get a ride up with friends and back with someone else. You'll probably end up running into someone from your town there. Last year my friends (from Roanoke, VA) set up their tent and went to the site over to meet their neighbors and they were also from Roanoke. 80,000+ people and it's still a small world.

God I love these forums, just the morale boost I needed. f*** those keys I didnt like em anyways. Im so gonna try to convince my friends to check out camp inforoo, its like home away from home!
the cell phone gnomes stole my cell phone last night too.... i got home and packed, was getting ready to go to bed and couldn't find it. now keep in mind this is a $500 blackberry that my work supplied to me. i was freaking out, calling the house i was last at, ripping apart my car, my house, my lawn. it was out of control. i even woke up at 5:30am so i could drive to my buddies house where i was last night to scour his house too... still nothing. hopefully i find it a few months down the road....
or when i stop by the house for my last look before heading to the roo...
oh, and i hope everything works out for you to. i would offer you something, but i'm in virginia, so that's not of help to you at all.
