Midwest Meet, Spring '14!, Party time! Options

[richee3]

Time to start discussing. I'm thinking the end of May might be a good time. That way nobody is in school and the weather might be a little bit better.

When: Saturday, May 17th, 2014, 12 PM.

Where: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=41.310719,+-...ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ

[Zake]

Good with me. I'm free any time apart from April 17-may 4.

[njccmd2002]

Towards the end of may be good. Plus the weather will be nice

[Bitter]

As long as it's staying above freezing at night I can have the Celica out to play. I'm going to get my buddy with a brand new BRZ to come with, should make for a fun drive.

[richee3]

I'm thinking either May 24 or 31 right now. We'd take a chance of rain but it should be warm enough by then and everyone will be out of school.

[cheela]

let me know. I'm up for just about any weekend.

[enderswift]

I'm already really looking forward to this

[njccmd2002]

yay, no vert tough for me.... but ill try to take the silver one...

[narly_charley]

Hey guys, I'm down for any weekend. I'll be trying to get as many 7th gen's as I can.

Here's a link to the newcelica thread:

I'm in for some Celica fun. To bad I don't have a Celica yet. Stupid financial situation.

[bloodMoney]

I have no 6g... I'm out.

[Zake]

I have no 6g... I'm out.

Drive another vehicle?

[narly_charley]

I'll be arriving in my 2002 Crappy Edition Rolla again. Haha!

Three gears of fury...

[richee3]

I have no 6g... I'm out.

We accept payments of boost via Alltracs or bro fists. Or you can man the grill again, that works too.

[bloodMoney]

We will most likely bring out the alltrac.... You know I couldn't seriously miss this!

[cheela]

I might be rolling in a rolla too. We'll see.

I'll be arriving in my 2002 Crappy Edition Rolla again. Haha!

[richee3]

Who knows, Brigette and I may not be in the Celica either.

[Bitter]

Well **** that, I'm driving my Mazda again!




Just kidding.

[navseal345]

Im down for a party. End of May will work for me.

[drumbum]

May 24 will work for me ... I'm off work every other weekend..

We'd be out both of the last weekends in May...24th is Memorial Day & concert the 31st. Then again may not matter, I may not have a celica...still don't know what the car situation is following the accident.

17th?

[bluecelicawife]

Well you know how Kurt and I are. We love to make special things oriented around car stuff. The 24th is the weekend after our anniversary so that's when we celebrate and as of now we don't have plans for it.

[Bitter]

Know what I'm most excited about? GETTING TO DRIVE MY DAMN CELICA. I'm a bit scared though, the roads around me here are NOTHING but frost heaves, like hitting a speed bump every 30 feet. Buh bam, buh bam, buh bam. Hump, hump, hump, hump. This is with the Mazda which has some thick side wall and relatively soft suspension. I wouldn't even be able to drive the Celica if the roads were like they are now, I hope the heaves all sink back down flat or else it's going to be a Mazda summer....until the roads are fixed. Poor bastards on cycles, all those heaves make the road totally unrideable if it were not for the cold.

[njccmd2002]

so May 24 yes or no?

[sixgentoyota]

I will definitely have a Celica, but whether or not we can make it will highly depend on the date. Does anyone like the idea of earlier in the month??? We would be 100% out on Memorial Day weekend as well as the 31st.

[bluecelicawife]

So what's the date

[Zake]

So what's the date

That's the age old question. The one question that we have the most difficulty answering.

[Bitter]

So what's the date

A small fig like fruit popular in sub-Saharan Africa.

[njccmd2002]

[navseal345]

LOL.

[Bitter]

Is there a topless version?

[navseal345]

Someone needs a little Asian Persuasion.

[richee3]

In for the results.

[Bitter]

You come for Chris's meat, you stay for the Japanese tentacle rape.

[cheela]

oh man...we haven't even decided a date and we're going down that road already.

[Bitter]

I should be there. May 17th? Hopefully it's not ****ing cold, if it is then the car with heated seats is coming out to cruise instead of the Celica coming out to play.

[narly_charley]

I'm off every weekend, I'm game for anything.

[DcDegallier]

Where is this shindig normally located? I'm about an hour east of Mpls/St Paul in Menomonie.

[bloodMoney]

Sorry buddy.... I just can't do the 24th.

On top of it being a holiday weekend, I'll most likely be in MI for my mother's bday which is the next day....

Jordan:

Please post the GPS coordinates.

[njccmd2002]

thats cool. try to make it in the summer.

[Bitter]

Damnit Chris, post it yourself. Oh wait, you did already!

Whoa, that's a ways out! I'd love to make it, but am already going to another meet the prior weekend for my bike. Are there ever any meetups in the Twin Cities area at all?

[navseal345]

LOL. To far of a drive.

[richee3]

I'm about to switch jobs so I have no idea where I'll be in May. I doubt if I'll have any vacation time so it just depends on if I happen to have the day off.

[richee3]

I'm not sure who has listened to the newest podcast but Jenn and Manny, Dustin and Steff, and possibly Ted95 would be interested in coming to a meet the last weekend in May. I know that weekend isn't great for everyone here and works better for others. So would we want to have two meets back to back to accommodate everyone, just do one meet, what do you guys think?

It makes no difference to myself or Brigette, because we aren't sure where I will be working and what my schedule will be.

[navseal345]

I know I could only make it one weekend, which I planned on being the 17th.

[Zake]

I'm fine with two dates, that way most everyone who wants to go will be able to make it to at least one if them. If there is going to be two dates, you can count me in on both of them.

By 'last weekend in May' are we talking about the 31st?

BRB I gotta go catch up on the last 3 episodes of the podcast.....

[richee3]

I believe they meant the 31st. I was a little busy when they called so I didn't catch all the details.

[bloodMoney]

If I can make a suggestion, there is an event the last weekend in May in Michigan called #Gridlife.

This is where Stacy and I are going to be that weekend.

Gingerman Raceway is 2 hours from Chicago

Daniel: Its 6 hours from you.

Dustin/Stef/Manny/Jenn: Its 14 hours from Fall River.

Noberto: I have no clue where you live, and Tennessee is a big state.... lol

Just a thought.....

I guarantee you'll like my meat Mike.

I can't speak for Jordan's Tentacle rape though.... I just hope that he brings the GF, it seems to tone down his otherwise epic gheyness.

[Bitter]

She's still in Florida and will be still in Florida. FLAME ON!

[njccmd2002]

if there is a second meet, i may make it for the 31st.

[richee3]

Chris, we may be able to do that. I'll send some texts out in a little bit to get everyone's thoughts.

[bloodMoney]

Sounds good. Just let me know.

[ZGear]

I have missed the last 4 years worth of MidWest meets. I plan to change that this year. Road trip!

[cheela]

if you're gonna make any of them, this would be the one.

[Bitter]

So the dates are set or still up in the air?

[VavAlephVav]

you know I have driven to Chicago before (actually I was on my way to Detroit), but for about $120 in gas each way and then having to get room for the night I think If I come up with $300 I'll be spending it on Struts.
hope you guys understand

[Bitter]

Totally understand. I love the area because it's about a 90 minute drive from me and takes about 1/4 tank of gas.

[Bitter]

So we've got the dates settled then or are we still deciding? My mother is going to be up the 2nd week of April.

[njccmd2002]

Lol who knows....

[Bitter]

That's what I'm trying to figure out, who knows? Also, who's on first?

[Zake]

I would assume things are still on for the 17th, it seems to be a date that a decent amount of us can attend. The question is are we going to have a second meet a couple weeks later to accommodate those who weren't able to make the first one, and it's location. Which I think it would be nice to do (also having a summer meet in august or so). If there is two spring meets, I'll be in for both as long as it's at the spot, the michigan trip might not happen for me.

[narly_charley]

Yeah, I wouldn't me down for the Michigan trip... But I'd be down for this meet and a Fall meet.

[Bitter]

I'm still down for May 17th as well, but also up in the air about the Michigan thing. If I go it would be a spur of the moment kind of thing, except it looks like you have to register ahead of time/not guaranteed entry at the time of even if not registered.

If I hadn't just spent 3K on my car with plans for another 500+ before then, I would be all for michigan XD

I believe the meet will be the 17th. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about a possible second meet for the guys and girls who can't make it to the first one. I'm not unemployed so I have the time for two meets, but it's a matter of my sugar mama letting me.

2. Zach
3. The Chee La and Mai See

Are we still on for the usual plan? Meet and greet, BBQ, cruise and hiking, then dinner somewhere? Or do we want to do something different?

[Zake]

I like the usual plan

[Bitter]

around the pretty cars.

[richee3]

Good thing ours is painted white now...

[enderswift]

^lol

I'm down for the usual plan. Something about lone point shelter is just awesome

[richee3]

Let's make the meet officially May 17th. Locked in. It's about 8 weeks out so we need to set a date so everyone can make arrangements.

As for a potential second meet, who would be in for that? If we can't set something up we can meet at Gridlife but I think I'd prefer an actual Celica meet, since Manny and Dustin are considering driving from Rhode Island. If a good size group from the Midwest Meet can't make it, it may be beneficial to those guys to move it a couple of hours East. On the one hand, I'm sure they'd appreciate a shorter drive but on the other hand, I hate to have it in the middle of nowhere so they drive 13 or 14 hours and have nothing to do besides look at Celicas, so keeping it at Starved Rock may be best if a lot of you guys can make it. So far I only know that Manny, Dustin, and Noberto can make the 31st.

[Bitter]

I'm game for any weekend pretty much except some in April, as far as I know right now.

[Zake]

Like I said before, if the 31st is at lone point, I can make it too I'm curious what my mpg will be down to by then hahaha
And Luke, we better still be going head to head on Rt71! I'm prepping my car for it.

So excited I can't put it into words.

[bloodMoney]

You guys don't have to register to be in the show, we can attend as spectators. I just threw it out there because that's where we are going to be that weekend. Its all good.

For the 17th, we can stick with the usual plan

Only if I have superstrut and my helical installed! Don't want to almost kill myself again!

Plenty of places around Chicago sell it. There's probably not too many places right next to the meet location, but plenty of places to get it along the way.

I run good'ol 93oct with a race tune.
