I'll keep with this one to ensure that we get a decent turnout.

Late March maybe?

Lousy Smarch weather!

[narly_charley]

Lousy Smarch weather!

I'm thinking like May 19th... It should be very nice (temperature wise).

[narly_charley]

I reached out to a bunch of car product companies to try to get some free product(s) to give away at the meet in a drawing, but I got turned down by everyone. Our last hope is Toyota, they haven't yet responded.

A couple years ago, my wife reached out to them via email and told them how we were devoted Toyota people and they sent me a black $140 Patagonia jacket.

[Bitter]

Yea no one cares anymore :lol: I don't go for swag, I go for food and laughs and used to go to oggle Daniels hair but alas...*sniffle* his hair is gone.

[richee3]

:cry: Just because I’m going bald doesn’t mean you have to scream it to the world!

[Box]

If you want to ogle hair I could show up, but alas I don't have a Celica anymore. Nor do I live in the mid west. Oh well, I'll be on my way.

[richee3]

Neither do I, on either account. We might be there but it’s hard for me to know this far out.

[Box]

You're a moderator though, you have to show up to make sure they don't break forum rules and that they use the search bar.

[Bitter]

:cry: Just because I’m going bald doesn’t mean you have to scream it to the world!

When ya hair game stronger than yo girl.

[cheela]

This year might be a busy one for me as the wifey decided to start doing wedding photography so if we aren't booked for any of that on the day of the meet I will be there. or your guys could book us for the day as an event photographer and it all works out. lol

Just give us a price and we'll all pitch in.

Daniel, you better be there. Or else...

[bloodMoney]

We may just be in for some BBQ. Hiking with the little one doesn't seem like the best idea ever.

Or if you guys wanted to have the meet closer to the city, maybe hang out and cruise around museum campus/Lake shore drive, we may be able to swing that too.

[navseal345]

Craigslist ad

Can someone go look at this for me?! Please.

[cheela]

You're lucky it's RED or else I believe Daniel would've been all over that already. aside from the front bumper that's clean and a fair price. worth it.

[richee3]

You're lucky Daniel is married and has to ask permission to buy anything or else he would've been all over that already. aside from the front bumper that's clean and a fair price. worth it.

Fixed that for you.

If only there was someone here that lives in Denver that could go check it out...

[njccmd2002]

that car is racecarp material

LMAO


I thought there was... someone...

Kinda can't get owning another one out of my head. It would just be nice to have... We could all think of numerous reason to own a Celica again or just to buy another.

[narly_charley]

I can definitely see C-ONE mud flaps and a rally pod on it...

[Box]

If it weren't red and far away I'd have to consider it.

[narly_charley]

My brother works at CarMax and they just bought a 2006 Avalon XLS with 27K miles on it with a small timing cover leak for $5,000... Employees and family only need to pay $300 more than what they paid for the vehicle. Joe might be selling his Vibe very soon. Haha!!!!

[Bitter]

Cheela, just book to shoot weddings AT Starved Rock, win win.

[navseal345]

I think mid May sounds like the best.

May 19th? Who's in?

[block]

I'd like to make it to one of these midwest meets. Not sure if I'll have my swap done by then. Late May to early June would be good.

[Bitter]

May 19th, sounds OK to me unless something else comes up.

[enderswift]

I'm in for the 19th

[richee3]

I'm in for the 19th

And you’ll be driving a white Celica, correct?

[navseal345]

^^^ This.

[Bitter]

http://www.acceleratespeed.com/

So there's this new place in Mokena, I don't know if it's any good or if it's within anyones budget but it could be fun. Just throwing it out there as an activity in case the weather doesn't cooperate.

[njccmd2002]

May 19, the go kart place sounds like a neat idea.

If everything goes well im in for May 19.....

[bloodMoney]

Sounds like a plan people.

Joe: Update the first post. Lock in the date, May 19th

I guess, now that the date is set, we can discuss karting.

Would this just be a bad weather thing? Maybe we do this after BBQ, instead of the hike? Maybe we just move the meet to the karting place, and go for pizza for dinner?

Discuss!

I'd LOVE to do karting, it's just so damn expensive for such little seat time. Not sure if I've ever told anyone, but I used to race karts nationally (photo below).

The best thing about hiking is that it's free and relaxing. Do you guys think that karting would cool for a backup if we know that Friday that Saturday is going to be crappy?

[njccmd2002]

im too old for hiking lol..... but its not up to me....

[narly_charley]

im too old for hiking lol..... but its not up to me....

Haha!

I went to a go kart track last year in Broadhead, WI for my birthday with my dad and brother and it was a BLAST!! One practice run of about 15 laps and then a main race of 50 laps. It beat the s h i t out of me! It was $80, but that included EVERYTHING and it was a freakin' blast! They were the closest thing to the karts I used to race that I've ever done.

http://sugarriverraceway.com/

[navseal345]

The date is ok with me.

As far as karting... I vote for it as a back up plan in case of bad weather.

[Bitter]

That's good with me too, maybe we can do a karting meet some other time. Maybe I'll go check it out with someone and see how it is, I'd hate for this to be a repeat of that road you all followed me down that one time.

[narly_charley]

Yeah, I couldn't find a whole lot of videos on YouTube, but it looks kinda lame and not many places to pass.

[navseal345]

Or we all buy **** corvettes & take the body off of them.

[Bitter]

Erin will be in town Sunday, maybe we'll go try it otherwise I'll have to scare someone else up.

[Bitter]

Joe is right, small tight track without much passing, but could still be fun. Looks like there's a sports bar type area, some games, and there's other places to eat around Mokena too. I think it would be a good back up plan if the weather gives us the donkey punch but as a primary activity I'd rather a bigger track to play on.

https://youtu.be/JLz05hnLNc4

But there's really not much else around to do if the weather turns foul and this is sort of on the way home for some of us and not far from where we get pizza. Meh. We can try it and if we don't like it we won't do it again.

[bloodMoney]

Ok. Karting as a backup plan it is.

Yes I'll bring something to cook on.

[Bitter]

Besides your turbo?

[navseal345]

Maybe it'll be cheela's fine ass. Have to wait & find out.

[bloodMoney]

So, I fail....

My cousin is getting married on the 19th... So we're out.

As far as I know I'll be there unless my cousin is getting married.

[Box]

If I get a MR2 and show up in reverse that sorta makes it a Celica right?

[Bitter]

Only if you do a peg leg burnout in reverse.

[Box]

DEAL. Though it wouldn't stay peg legged for long.

[narly_charley]

Happy Monday all!

[navseal345]

Not exactly... woke up one minute before my alarm. Son of a b****! Lol

[narly_charley]

Not exactly... woke up one minute before my alarm. Son of a b****! Lol

That is truly a terrible way to wake up in the morning.

[cheela]

better one minute before than one hour after right? hahaha
that truly sucks though.

[richee3]

I barely got out of bed this morning too. Knees are killing me and my sleep schedule is way off. But we’ve got awesome weather here today and tomorrow so I can’t complain too much but it’s still a Monday.

[krzkon]

I don't have a 6gc anymore as I sold all 3 of the ones I did have. But can I show up in a Civic? lol

[narly_charley]

I don't have a 6gc anymore as I sold all 3 of the ones I did have. But can I show up in a Civic? lol

I haven't had a Celica for years. c:

[Zake]

I showed up in a mustang the last few meets I went to before moving to Florida..
EDIT: which is still in my sig.. even though we parted ways 4 years ago..

[navseal345]

A civic I don't know but a bicycle yes.

[Bitter]

Stacey came to the very first meet in an RSX, you can come in a Civic.

[richee3]

Everyone who doesn’t show up to the meet in a Celica gets eternal banishment from 6gc and the 6gc Facebook group.


*Except Chris because he keeps breaking them, and we don’t need any more broken Celicas.
*Except Devin because he brings the grill.
*Except Chee La and Mai See because A.) I can’t ban Mai See because she doesn’t have an account here. B.) Chee La has like 47 Celicas.
*Except Jordan because he isn’t on Facebook so I can’t ban him there, and he always brings his Celica anyway.
*Except old man Lindsey because he always brings a Celica and I have no power to ban him over on NewCelica.
*Except me because I’m cool.
*Except krzkon because he’s new to the meets and we’d like him to come.
*Except Joe because he’s always impossibly upbeat and happy and we all need that kind of attitude.
*Except anyone else I don’t want to ban.

Everyone who consistently brings Celicas are exempt from eternal bamnation.

[narly_charley]

*Except old man Lindsey because he always brings a Celica and I have no power to ban him over on NewCelica.

The old man sold his 2000 GT-S... :c

You should give his arthritic joints some mercy. Hahaha!!!

[Bitter]

Just for that I'm going to bring the Mazda again this time. All 127hp and 2800lbs of 20 year old Ford built Mazda 626 glory.

[narly_charley]

I reached out to Mark (Racecarp), Art (lowered black 7th gen), and Dalton (brought the silver Genesis last time) to see if they'll go. Dalton is down, and I'm just working on confirming with the other two. I'll make sure that Mark doesn't p u s s y out again.

Mark's been busy in the garage trying to get his 5th gen ready. He might be broke but if he finishes, he has no excuse but to make it.

[bloodMoney]

His 4th gen.

It runs and drives, but he's probably going to pull the motor again right before the meet....

Because Racecarp.

[narly_charley]

Because Racecarp.

What a great moment.

I have a blah day every day, I strive for ok days.

[Bitter]

Today was great, the asshole I work with got sent home by the boss for being an asshole, it was so quiet and peaceful at work today. I hope he doesn't show up tomorrow!

[Bitter]

He quit!
Anyone want a job? Srsly tho.

[njccmd2002]

You can always talk dealers down on used cars... I quite enjoy making salesmen sweat as they have to go back and forth between me and their GM to get approval to drop more on price. I usually have the GM's come straight to me after a while. Haha!

Hell, even some manufacturers and dealerships will budge a LOT on new cars, depending on when you go (end of the month/end of the quarter). My co-worker picked up a new Hyundai for his fiance and talked them down almost $5,000.

[cheela]

dang! down $5k is quite a feat. I'm impressed.

[narly_charley]

dang! down $5k is quite a feat. I'm impressed.

I was too. And he was 100% genuine, telling us exactly what he got them down to. It really all depends on how desperate they are to ship one down the road.
