Well what the hell?

Sorry Jake. It was super last minute. Daniel just kinda showed up....

[Bitter]

I like how Chris has the blanket on his lap, he's already past preparing for fatherhood and has moved on to getting ready for grandfatherhood. In the chair, beer in hand, telling a story, pointing his finger 'back in my day cars had fire inside them and you had to drive them yourself!'

[njccmd2002]

how big is that garage?

[bloodMoney]

It's not huge... 720 sq ft. 32'W x 22.5'L

[narly_charley]

I'm voting August 26th.

[CoolZeen]

Ok? August 26. who oppose? Who's down? Yes.

[narly_charley]

Ok? August 26. who oppose? Who's down? Yes.

No one wants a summer meet. Haha!

[Bitter]

Whenever, I have no life.

[CoolZeen]

ok that makes 3 of us . all loud. and nobody is listening.

[sixgentoyota]

26th we're in

[CoolZeen]

ok the 26. WHo else is in? lets spread the word.

[narly_charley]

Does anyone else want to join? Should I have not started this thread? Haha!

[CoolZeen]

i already invited a few other people and some with 5th and 4th gen .

[bloodMoney]

Take charge Joe! Keep shouting until people show up.

That's how Daniel and I resurrected this meet all those years ago. We would come down, but with a new baby, it is what it is.

I'll bring Sophie (daughter), so hiking should be fun.

I'll make sure this happens. c:

[narly_charley]

Soooo... I won't be able to make it. We realized that we have a birthday party that we can't miss. Damn!

Since there aren't many people coming, I think we should push this to mid/late September. Even if we were to do October, I think it would be cool, plus the leaves will be changing and it will be VERY pretty.

[Bitter]

If anyone wants to go fossil hunting around Braidwood some weekend it could be a very nerdy mini-meet for hiking, fossil hunting, and dinner.

[CoolZeen]

Well lets still do this with whoever want to show up. I'm still down. and Im down for another one in October too. C'mon lets do this .

[narly_charley]

Good fossil hunting out there? I have a small collection from Clifty Falls State Park that are pretty sweet, I'll have to bring them to the next meet.

[Bitter]

I haven't been there enough to know yet, they're not typical fossils, you'll want to google about it before going there for sure.

[bloodMoney]

Do it up if you want! That's the nice part about these meets... It's a communal effort. All you really need is Food, Fire, Drinks, and Friends.

[navseal345]

Ha, only page 2.

[CoolZeen]

Ha, only page 2.

I'm trying.

Keep googling, there's better sites and guides. I've managed to figure out where to go around there. It mentions a form needed but heck if I can find one on any state website, if any DNR person asks for one I'll either play dumb or tell them I couldn't find it on the website or some ****, no biggie.

Just giving you s#!t.

Sometimes making a meet thread is like a group text with friends trying to figure out if you all want to do something, but as the conversation goes on, everyone realizes they would rather just be lazy and stay in.

[Bitter]

We should do a movie meet for the 24th or 25th of August to see Terminator 2 on the big screen.

True that! but then you be like: Where's the passion and interest? . and if things get poping , you hear regrets and promises of "catch you on the net one".The moment is now ! I got some other people that I invited out the forum. So i will be there with whoever wants to go. WHere is that Celica Love?

[sixgentoyota]

So are we doing this next weekend or what?

[Bitter]

Are we?

[CoolZeen]

So are we doing this next weekend or what?

well i will be there . just show up. from my part is on!

[Bitter]

If I'm not doing anything else I might go, might not. Depends how I'm feeling.

[CoolZeen]

THE WEATHER is looking good for saturday.

[Bitter]

I'm out, supposed to go see T2 in New Lenox with a friend on Saturday.

[Bitter]

So when we do?

[CoolZeen]

So when we do?

we did!

[Bitter]

Dang! When we do again?

[narly_charley]

Dang! When we do again?

I say we do a late October meet. It'll be perfect hiking weather and a roaring fire would be great!

[CoolZeen]

Can do any October weekend other than the 22nd

[Bitter]

Sounds OK to me!

[CoolZeen]

how is the 28th sounds?

[Bitter]

Like it might be too cold for my summer tires, but I have the Mazda if that's the case.

[narly_charley]

I'll be driving the family wagon as well! The 28th sounds good to me!

[CoolZeen]

Ok then. Lets see who else.

[CoolZeen]

just us ? nobody else?

[Bitter]

I'm in I guess, what food dish do you all want? Guac, tuna pasta salad, or mud pie?

[CoolZeen]

i will be taking burgers ,cheese and buns.

[Warlock93]

I would meet but I would probably be in the back against ya'lls super tuned Celicas Mine lags and has 286k miles; It runs strong though.

^this.

Until you've been to one, you'll never really know just how deep the love for these cars goes.

[Bitter]

I've got about 5 inches of love for mine, maybe 6 when it's in lift.

[navseal345]

It's true half of us don't own Celicas anymore & still love them. Some of us just buy them to have them get crashed into. *cough* Chris *cough*

[bloodMoney]

Jordan, you only get 6" if I do it twice....

Devin: Shut up.

Seriously though, it's true. I don't think I've had a celica at the last two meets.... I've driven my LS430... But this is a pretty good group of people. Even Jordan can be good too. Depending on the day.

[cheela]

definitely a great bunch. came for the cars, stayed for the people.

[Bitter]

Out of everyone in that photo, I miss that dog the most. That dog was zero ****s given and I respect that.

[CoolZeen]

get those sweater and jackets ready , its feeling cold already. Lets hope the day will be sunny.

[Bitter]

I'm about 50/50 on going, Mazda is still under the knife and I don't know if I want to take the Celica out if it's going to be cold and crappy out, I've driven it enough in poor weather lately. I'm hoping to have the trans out by weeks end but I doubt I'll have it out and back in and all together to go anywhere and I don't want to take a long trip away from home till I get some confidence that it's all done correctly, so lots of local driving first.

[CoolZeen]

Thats understandable. I JUST change my transsmition with a new clutch. And i was thinking the same ,until i hit the highway and got the feel and its all good. But i feel you broh!

[Bitter]

Or I could end up cranking it out or the weather could be wonderful! If I go the Celica will be dirty dirty, construction everywhere and I can't keep it clean while I daily it. It needs a full going over before storing for winter.

[CoolZeen]

well next saturday, ...n everybody is quiet?

[cheela]

sorry guys, I'm out for the rest of the year. Things just all packed on and don't seem to have any weekends free.
ya'll have fun without me and I'll see you guys next year.

[Bitter]

Weather is calling for 40s and rain. Pass.

[CoolZeen]

well this is mush cancel .the weather drop and it looks like is going to be raining. Nothing till next year!

[cheela]

Zeen, seems like you've been pretty busy with the celica lately. Can't wait to see what you will get done by next year.

[Bitter]

Now it's 20% rain chance but a high of around 40-45, still gonna pass on that one.

[cheela]

what happened to "be there rain or shine" or ban hammer? lol
I shouldn't be one to talk though, i ain't even coming.

[Bitter]

It's not the rain, it's the prospect of hiking in 40 degree mud.

[CoolZeen]

Zeen, seems like you've been pretty busy with the celica lately. Can't wait to see what you will get done by next year.

yes.thats the reason i enjoy our meetings.I have almost got everything to get it to the bodyshop and finally take off that ugly but unique front bumper, but since i sold my other st and my other ride (cadillac) needs some mayor repair ,well the zeenlica became my daily driver.So i got the funds but not the time .Since i have 2 full time jobs it tortures me to see all this body parts everyday ,and not be able to get the car to the paint shop. So Im mostly working little custom stuff in the interior. but will see.

[Bitter]

I just woke up from a nap on the couch in my sleeping bag, great meet fellas!

[njccmd2002]

[navseal345]

Aaannnndddd thhhheeennnn!

[njccmd2002]

[narly_charley]

This car is right near where I work... Looks CLEAN. Tsunami edition 7th gen (2005) with low mileage... Could probably talk them down a lot (you'd have to at that price).

[Bitter]

So who's starting the spring meet thread? I swear to Cheela's butt I'm going to bring a box of damn condoms and hand them out to everyone. STOP HAVING BABIES, ruins all the car fun for atleast 5 years after, then they're old enough to hand you tools at least.
