O-H.....I-O!, Anybody up for a meet in Findlay...Toledoish area Options

[root]

I just wanted to see if anyone from the area would be up for a casual get-together and talk shop here in Findlay or somewhere not too far. If we get enough people, I could talk to the local Toyota dealer about letting us meet there. I have a couple contacts there that might help me out. Anyways, I just was some opinions.

[Valo666]

Id be down..Toledo is like 45 min away from me. I just gotta get my rims back on other wise im gonna be chewing through my winters. Gimme a date and im good for coming.

Sweet! I also know a kid with an st that I could convince to come. It'd proably just be casual...maybe swap some parts....have a beer or two. Maybe if Akimbo hasnt sold his car he could come out, too. I would like to see someone with a 3s done to see what I'm getting myself into. I could also talk to the mr2 guy I know with a 3s. I'll see if I can set a date once some more people post.

[Valo666]

id be cool with that..only thing is, im not legal drinkin age in the US, only in canada..lol..im stuck inbetween. Any one from Michigan wanna come? from like Detroit area??

[undasighted]

this is very possible. Gimme enough of a heads up and some decent weather and I'll be there.

[uberschall]

i still haven't made it to a meet. toledo is pretty close (i'm just north of detroit). i could swing it.

[root]

id be cool with that..only thing is, im not legal drinkin age in the US, only in canada..lol..im stuck inbetween.

Lol Me neither, but if we all met at my house in findlay, there's always plenty of suds there. But I understand if people would rather do toledo. Closer for most. Findlay is just an hour south on toledo of I-75

[undasighted]

Give me at least a week's notice if ya don't mind. I gotta find a babysitter for the little one to venture out these days, and grandma is high maintenance.

[root]

How is the 14th for everyone? I'm just throwin out a date to see whats good for everyon. ITS NOT SET IN STONE. lol. If somthin else works, let me know. I really want this to work. The all toyota show last year flopped and I dont want to see that.

[Valo666]

id be cool with the 14th.

[undasighted]

14th seems to be good for me. what time are you thinking?

[root]

Eveningish. I dont want to have it too late or it'll be all dark when we are checkin out each others's car. like 4 or 5 would be good. Now I just gotta come up with where. My place is okay, as I have plenty of parking, but I have to check with my roommates first. Or if we do it in toledo, which looks like a better option for some of you, I'll need some suggestions on where. I'm not too familiar with Toledo as far as hang-out spots.

[undasighted]

whatever you do, dont go to hooters downtown. there's no boobs there. (toledo people may get this)

[Valo666]

i dont care where we go, but my gf is gonna b coming with me and she would..lol

[undasighted]

Not actually suggesting any dirty places. We were in Toledo for a week long work presentation in 2002 and got real bored real fast, so a bunch of us went searching for crummy little bars to drink at. Found this little hole in the wall downtown named hooters, and realized we hadnt seen a single girl outside of driving and meetings all week, so we decided to check it out.

Well, we got in there, and there definately werent any girls in there.

I'm ok with whatever lifestyle any given person chooses at any given time, nevertheless it was kind of uncomfortable having some 50+ year old guy sitting next to me at the bar leaning over and going "so how do I look for being a gay priest? woooould you *hacking* hiiiiit it!?"

So yeah. We werent there very long.

[trd94]

ok i am up for a meet i am not 3sgte but i am 7afte if you want to see and there is a show in tiffin on sep 1 from 2pm-5pm at the autozone there will be a dj and food and some very nice cars i have a turboed civic and the turboed celica , a couple of my buds have 3000gts and some very nice mustangs along with some old school muscle cars i wnt last year and was the onlt import there but every one was very cool and loved the celi let me know as far as the 14th goes i might be in the findlay area just let me know where

[95celicastLSR]

hey ron whats up id definltlay be up for a meet i wonder if we could meet with all of us from FIT on the weekend and have a big cruise with everybudy just throwing out the idea. just depends how long every one wants to be out....just think all of us rollin up together in a long line and showing off the rides to all the other imports..ill keep il keep in touch with you and F.I.T. about the 14..c ya

[root]

As long as everybody's cool with it, I think Findlay would be convienent (sp?) for the majority because I'm startin to see some more folks from my area on here. I'd suggest frickers for some food, and I could talk to the mall (I proably wouldnt even have to bother because its such a big ass lot) to see where we all could park it. TRD94: Props to ya for brigin out the turbo st. Flippin Schweet . Lance: As long as its cool with everyone else here, we could make it open to more than just Toyota's for the meet. Probably not for the wings and beer though.

Ok people. Gimmie some feedback on what yall are thinkin and we can do this thing.

-Ron


P.S: If anyone has any questions my phone is (DELETED) (sprint) or (DELETED) (work cell/verizon). I have both on me 24-7

just gimme driving instructions and ill b there

[root]

just gimme driving instructions and ill b there

Valo, do you know where I-75 is? Findlay is pretty easy if you just follow I-75 south. It takes about an hour to get there if one starts from the southern part of Toledo. Just head straight south on 75 and you wont miss it. You'll proably wanna get off at the State Route 12 exit/ Frickers is right off that exit.

Okay everybody, Frickers it is. (Unless somebodies has a chicken allergy ). And then it will proably be on the Findlay mall lot or the wall-mart lot. Frickers is kinda small and might get pissed if we take up all their space. Also, I wanna know if its cool for some of the local folks to bring out there whatever's (aka NOT 6gc's) after we eat. Findlay Import Tuners is just a group of guys (mostly kids) like us that mess with cars and are all pretty cool. But, I understand if we just wanna keep this 6gc/Toyota related. Keep in mind though, I WILL be attepmting to organize an All-Toyota meet at the dealership later this summer.

Keep me posted. Cant wait to meet you guys.

[Akimbo]

i can be there at frickers if you want ron. depends on if i get the day off. my car is not in the best shape but ill see what i can do. i need new tires. And Ron, you know my team and I organize a meet every year at the LaRiche dealership?

sorry its just the part of me thats falling out of the whole 'import scene' and 4 cylinder deal

I know what you mean Ryan, but the group of guys that I know are all pretty cool. Its not just a group of civic owners with fart cans and park bentch's on their cars. There's quite a few guys who paid for their own rides and put in their time in the garage. Most of the high-school kids I know in that group are in the auto-tech program at FHS, and they have their share of knowledge. We were all kids with dreams at one time. Heck, I'm just a big kid with a dream of scrapping my 5sfe. In conclusion, dont paint all of them with the same brush. We all start somewhere.

perfect..and rough time of ppl meetin up?..i gotta b back in Windsor for around 9:30 or 10 for a few ppls b-day party/gettin completely trashed..lol.

Im already chargin up my batteries for my camera and im gonna go take the celi for a wash l8er today if i got time/the weather stays nice.

[undasighted]

from what I hear it's supposed to rain again tonight.

I wont be able to make it to this one guys. The mrs works till 5 and I cant find a babysitter, so I'm gonna have to get a rain check.

I'm gonna try to set something up at one of the local go-cart places later this summer (when it's guarenteed to be sunroof back and windows down weather).

Hope you guys have fun.

[Valo666]

from what I hear it's supposed to rain again tonight.

I just checked the weather and it says its suppost to be above freezing, but mixed percipitation and about a 30% chance of rain or snow. Says suppost to be between 39 and 32 during the day. Hopefully it will warm up a bit over the next day and stay warm like it is today.

[trd94]

i think we might have to reschedule this for a warmer day , just my thoughts

[undasighted]

It isn't that bad out right now. I just pulled into work with my driver's side window down. Little nipply, but nothin compared to the last couple weeks.

But they were saying snow and rain and sleet, oh my!

I dunno.

[toyotacrazy]

I'll check in around noon and see what the weathers like. I dont know. Its like a 2 hour drive for me.

[Valo666]

so what time we meeting? cuz its like a 1.5 hour drive for me..not including clearing the boarder. I just wanna know so i can figure out what time i should be leaving here by? /are we gonna have it today?
It looks like its gonna rain in Findlay

EDIT: some one local wanna call up Ron and see what he says?? I really dont wanna drive an hour and 45 min to get there and have no one there.

i dont think we are going to meet up today i talked to them last nite and that is what it sounded like to me but i am not for sure ,

[undasighted]

Our cars deserve better weather than this.

And I'm stuck at work with no babysitter when I get out of here.

[Valo666]

reschedule for some time warmer?? or you guys wanna come meet up here in Windsor sometime next month? I got a big ass parking lot beside my building, nice and quite, i can cook us up some burgers or somethin?

[trd94]

ok i called ron and he still wants to meet , i told him to jump online and let you guys know more info , hope it helps

[root]

Ok, I myslef still wanna meet. The weather wont be that bad. Its only a 30% chance of precipitation. Yeah, its a tad cold out, but this is somthin you'll just have to put up with in Ohio . I don't know about the rest of yall, but my Toyota can handle it and so can I. Let's not let the weather **** up our fun.


4:30. Fricker's.

Peace

Sorry. I can either meet up with you next time, or you can come out here and look at it. Id be glad to show it off and answer any questions. Also, if you need any parts let me know. later

[undasighted]

So did anybody end up going? How was it? The weather was pretty rough on saturday.

[Valo666]

It was me, my gf, Ron (root) and Tyler (cant remember his screen name). It would have been better if we had more people. Me and Ron mostly talked tech over some food. It was cool, but not really cold untill after we ate, then it started snow storming really hard when we were heading back to Windsor. But all in all, good meet. Woulda been better if other people came out too.

[root]

Yeah, I really enjoyed talkin shop with Bryan and Tyler. Next time, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COME. It wasn't that bad if you're used to Ohio. Yesterday was sunny, but it was also windy as hell (can I say that here? ). If yall is as dedicated to your car as I am to mine, you can imagine how cool it is to actually find someone who doesnt tune honda's or dsm's around here. Anyways, I had fun. Hopefully we can make a trip to Canada (cough cough Valo: set up a meet ) somtime. Also, if anyone in ohio wants to help me with my swap later this year, I could use all the help I can get.


Peace, Love, Celica.

Hey Ron, Im thinking i am working on a meet up here *cough* LINK! *cough* lol. Im thinking of having it in mid may on one of the weekends, or june. Im in class untill like 5 or 6PM daily throughout the summer, so weekends would be perfect.

[undasighted]

I'm still gonna try to set up a meet sometime this summer at a go kart track here in columbus.

I definately wanted to come out, but the lack of a weekend babysitter is kicking my arse right now.
