Yo dawg I heard you like go pros...here's another one so you can go pro while you go pro.

Edit: Mo, are we going through tolls? If so, have you thought about the best way to get 30 something cars through the tolls?
The only toll we go through is the bay bridge toll and our cruise leader wheels4fury is a master on taking us through that. We will make sure we all go through the same lane and will gather after the toll is paid, on the side shoulder before the bridge.

Once we are all through the toll all cars go on the bridge at the same time, in one lane. If needed, one car can stop the traffic before and after the toll and let all s2000 go through.

Previously, other drivers just stop and let us through as they are all too excited to see our cars. Just make sure we all stay in ONE lane when we leave Exit 31.

If we really have 30 something cars, it might be easier to just get everyone to reorganize under the kent narrows bridge, though I forgot what exit # that is. And it'd make a good spot to take photos of the cars all lined up.

I was thinking we can collect toll from all the cars so that the person in the front, which will be either you or me, we can pay the toll and rest of the cars can just drive through without stopping the traffic and we all can gather again on the side right after the toll. Just like we did last time.

This is do-able however the boom will need to come down in front of each car regardless if the money is paid by the first car or each individual vehicle.

4 wheels of fury's idea of setting up a regroup spot might be better if that spot is after the toll plaza. That way we can split up and each go to the shortest line at the toll plaza as to not obstruct traffic, go through and regroup until all cars are accounted for then proceed onwards and get back on the freeway.

Just throwing out ideas here...

AGREED, if the exit is after the toll and before the bay bridge

The exit mentioned above is after the bay bridge but before the Kent Narrows bridge.

Then i think we should gather before the Bay Bridge as many of us would like to go through that bridge together. We will just have to stay in one lane after we leave the Exit 31. Im sure we can find a way how to do that.

On a second glance, that area looks big enough to pull 30 cars off to the side. We could even go through seperate gates at the plaza then just pull off once we are through. That way there's not a 30 car line for one toll booth.

Any worry that this might piss off the police? I mean, MDTA is right there...

I can't see it being a huge issue. We will be there for less than 10 minutes. By the time they see us and figure out what we are up to we will be ready to get moving again.

This is just speculation though.

If we stop right past the tolls I can 100% guarantee it will piss them off. That is a no stopping zone there. They use that area to catch people that run tolls. And to assist people that can't drive over the bridge themselves. My father stopped there once to check his horse trailer and got a huge ticket.
