I say April. March is always a toss up weather wise

[njccmd2002]

May

[Zake]

I didn't make it since I wasn't sure if that drift event/car show was going to be the spring meet. I'd say April, March is pretty cold still and may is too close to the summer.

[bluecelicawife]

I say may. Hopefully by then I'm hired in and can make a trip out and celebrate our anniversary. Plus it gives Kurt more time to work on the Celica.

[cheela]

maybe April.

[bloodMoney]

April is gonna be tough for us. The Dragon run is the weekend of the 26th, and we usually leave the Friday before, so both the 20-21 and 27-28 are out for us.

[Zake]

I'll be in Florida from march 9th to the 19th, so the two middle weekends are out for me of that month. maybe a may meet would be better, that way it wont be freezing like last year.

Instead of a Spring, Summer, and Fall meet, we could always just do a May meet and a Summer/Fall meet. I've got 48 hours of vacation time to burn up before sometime in April, so I'm good for any date we end up setting.

[sixgentoyota]

First 2 weekends of April Sam and I will be headed to and from FL so we'd be out those dates

[Bitter]

Whatever day it's going to rain like hell or be cold as hell. :rofl:

[navseal345]

From what is sounds like... Mid May may be a better date?

I'll be excited for something!

This

[navseal345]

Weekend of May 18th?

[Zake]

Weekend of May 18th?

Works for me. I'm down for any date.

[navseal345]

Can we go hiking this time no matter what, please?
I can bring a grill with gas this time if needed.


*But I also am thinking the "Fall" meet needs to be in Chicago or someplace beside Starved Rock?

[bloodMoney]

I've still got that big tank from the last meet Devin. Plus two little ones for Jordan's grill.....

[richee3]

So May seems to work best for everyone?

[bloodMoney]

Looks like it.

[bluecelicawife]

I think peewee has made it to be our little Celica man. Kurt has one of the calendars hanging up in our kitchen and the other day he asked me where daddy was. I told him out in the garage getting a part off the car (yellow celica) and he turned and looked at me and said so he can make it like that celica.... lol pointing at the calendar .... i couldnt stop laughing but i managed to get out " yeah bub just like that one".

Little difficult to do since she's gotta be in her ceremony and at her party. I think people might wonder why they were there if she weren't

Add me to the list, not sure if anyone will be with me or what car I'll take but I want to be there.

Somehow I doubt that would go over well, or at all, seeing as a lot of them are middle aged people who don't share our interest in cars.

[richee3]

The Celica isn't just a car, it's a Celica! I suppose you're off the hook for this meet but you owe double attendance at the next one!

[cheela]

The Celica isn't just a car, it's a Celica! I suppose you're off the hook for this meet but you owe double attendance at the next one!

I wonder how double attendance works.
Cuz i think i'm in for quadruple attendance.

not sure i can get a cloning device ready by then.

[sixgentoyota]

Trust me I'm pissed I really want to be there. So does Sam since she was sick for the last meet, that's why I chimed in right away when April came up about when we wouldn't be available. I would have said the same thing here but so many of you guys are already able/available by the time I got to the thread again it was too late to chime in and be like 'how about this instead' because that would just be rude. I can't let my sister down though, Sam and I are the only 2 family members she invited so we have to be there. We will do everything we can to be at the next one.

[enderswift]

I'm in for May. Thanks for the heads up Zach

[bluecelicawife]

Is anyone going to the meet looking for a shifter boot? If so I can get them made up and bring them with me and. Since they will be delivered they will be $14 instead of $17 for shipping... lol I do have one made up now with a light grey stitching.

[kurt95gt]

So we just looked an it looks like we have a similar problem to sixgentoyota
Lizs brother graduates on the 18th an having party same day
Any chance we could move this to may 25th?

[bluecelicawife]

Along with his grad I was thinking too that if we do it on memorial day weekend most people will have that Monday off so it gives us more time to enjoy the weekend. It will also be nice for our anniversary lol just happens to be on the 24th. I love making plans to do a bunch of stuff even if it's not originally the plan...lol

[Bitter]

Memorial weekend there is AWFUL. It's absolutely jam packed full of people and bikers everywhere and there is no room anywhere.

[sixgentoyota]

Yeah if gets changed I'd think the 11th would be better.

[kurt95gt]

OK well take us off the list lol
I know we won't be able to make it if its any earlier than the 25

[njccmd2002]

after may 17 i can come, before no way. I need to know a date ASAP, otherwise i cannot get the day off.

[bluecelicawife]

So at this point it's looking like more of us are going to be open and able to come if we go with a later date.

[cheela]

I'd rather have more people come so a later date is fine with me.

[Bitter]

I'm up for whenever the gang-bang in the forest is going on.

[Zake]

I'm up for whenever the gang-bang in the forest is going on.

^same. Mark me down for any date.

[kurt95gt]

How about the first weekend of June ??

[sixgentoyota]

We'd be out 1st and 2nd weekend of June, too. Concert in Milwaukee and Sam's birthday.

Whatever you guys decide if we can make it work, we will otherwise no worries at this point. Once it gets into the hotter weather we get busy pretty quickly.

[njccmd2002]

need to set a date.

[richee3]

Much agreed.

[bloodMoney]

after may 17 i can come, before no way. I need to know a date ASAP, otherwise i cannot get the day off.

Can you make it to the 18th if it stays there?

I know its close, but its why I'm asking.

[njccmd2002]

yeah, i can make it the 18.

[cheela]

can we settle on 18th then?

[bloodMoney]

Done. May 18th

Make your plans accordingly!

[kurt95gt]

OK then were out lol

[bloodMoney]

We're bringing the burgers, per usual protocol.

[Bitter]

I'll bring variable valve timing.

Thinking my truck can be used to make for some good photos.

[bloodMoney]

I'll bring a Mustang and all of its 0-60 in 5 seconds glory. Oh I guess I can also bring buns and water.

[Bitter]

Bringing a mustang to a winding road with tight hairpins is like bringing a bazooka to a target shooting competition.

BTW, those new mustangs look fantastic!

This post has been edited by Bitter: Feb 26, 2013 - 12:04 AM

[Zake]

This Mustang handles better than any car that I've ever had. Including both celicas with coilovers and it has the straight line power. I LOVE this car I hate that Ford is doing away with the live read axle for 2015.

[navseal345]

I think this forum says "6gc.net" not "OMG Mustangs."

Hey now, that would be a cool title..

[bloodMoney]

hahahaah

[richee3]

I'll bring the 350Z and Chris can bring the wagon, we'll retain Japanese domination. Just kidding, those new Mustangs actually put down decent numbers.

Should've got a Roush!

My new exhaust gives my ears orgasms every time I step on the gas. I could have gotten a boss 302.. But that wouldn't have been smart.. At all.
Oh, and you do need to bring the Z... remember, RWD on RT71!

I'm bringing the 350Z up there, Zach. We'll have to go for a RWD cruise down 71.

The cat-back system I got for it makes it sound like a V8 I'm in love <3 <3 <3

[richee3]

Sound clips or BS!

[Zake]

Sound clips or BS!

you'll hear it in person in a couple months O.o

[richee3]

I don't think I can talk the missus into driving two cars up there, but I'll try. No chance of a sound clip at all? I'm hurt.

[navseal345]

"My car sounds better than your car."
"NO! My car sounds better than your car!"
"No dude your wrong."
Zoooooommm. Psssshhh. Zoooooommmm.
"What was that?"
"I think that was a 6gc."
"Dude that sounds better than your car."
"Man, at least it sounds better than your car."

[bloodMoney]

^winning.

I don't think we're going to bring the wagon this time... We'll see. I still have yet to really test the coilovers...

[Zake]

Been too cold to shoot a video. I'll see what I can do this weekend. if all else fails I can just do a video while I'm in Florida in a week. It will be nice and warm down there.

[Bigblock]

Sooo--
Pulling it with a Chevy huh??...
JK...JK...

We are keeping an ear out to hear what the job is going to do in April & May. Training schedule for days & nights come out in a few weeks.

Yeah, I hate when I'm towing my Ford with a Chevy and the Ford still blows up!

Just kidding, I'll probably get flamed for this, but I like where Ford is heading as a company. And I totally want an F150 Raptor. Don't tell Brigette.

[Zake]

Dude, I HATE trucks.. But I would so sport a raptor. Those things are the modern day lightnings on steroids lol.

[richee3]

Thread derailment time!

I'm not a truck person either, but the Raptors are sweet. Have you seen the Hennessy-tuned Velociraptors? I'd rock one.

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/62raptor800.html

However, can they tow a space shuttle?



Probably, because 810 hp is awesome.

Back on topic. Carry on.

[navseal345]

^^^ Don't get me started on that. Personally I hate that commercial.

[richee3]

^^^ Don't get me started on that. Personally I hate that commercial.

Why's that? I personally found it entertaining. If a Tundra can pull a space shuttle, then odds are a Ford and Chevy can too, and the diesels certainly could. But it doesn't matter because Toyota thought of it first and it made a cool commercial. I would've been impressed with any brand of truck towing 292,000 pounds.

Enough truck talk! About the meet, are we wanting to go hiking again? Dinner afterwards?

[navseal345]

What you said is very true I was just going off my first impressions of seeing the commercial when it first aired.

Hiking is a yes! As for dinner... I don't know of any places around. At least this time I don't feel like going to Chicago for dinner. But time may change and it all depends on where we eat too.

[Bitter]

Petition to rename this to "Starved Rock Girly Car Association". It's a bunch of Celicas and a Mustang.
