Late September please

[bloodMoney]

^ I'm ok with this.

[cheela]

^ I concur.

[nics]

I'm down, ready to meet the Mid West 6gc crew!

[sixgentoyota]

Late September is perfect. Like the 27th??

[narly_charley]

I'm down... Let's make this a great turn out. Hopefully I can get the yellow MR2 to come down and Art with the lowered 7th gen. My buddy Sean might come as well with his new WRX wagon.

[Bitter]

Hurry up while my car is still clean.

[Bitter]

Just washed and waxed today, meet is tomorrow. LULZ

[narly_charley]

Just washed and waxed today, meet is tomorrow. LULZ

Too hot. Haha!

[Bitter]

Thankfully this wax I'm using is super easy and very long lasting, takes longer to wash than to wax and the coat of M7 glaze under the sealer is looking luscious still. I'll need to strip and re glaze and re seal though, do 2 coats of glaze this time! Doesn't fix my horrible scratches, water pits, and chips, but it makes what's left of the nice black factory paint look REALLY nice like deep black show car paint. I keep looking at it in the garage or from across the parking lot at work and going 'mmm mmm good' to myself.

[navseal345]

I'm down, ready to meet the Mid West 6gc crew!

The best out of all!

Can we get some of chee's ass again?

hmm... might have to do a rain check on that. i'm all outta butt right now.

[block]

I'd like to try to make it to one of these! Late September would be great - beautiful scenery for great pictures!

[Bitter]

I'm busy October 27th through through the 6th of November. I don't think that'll be a problem for the meet though. Last weekish of September is good with me, I can keep my damn car clean for a month.

[richee3]

The 27th doesn't work for us so we may be out. Seems to work perfect for everyone else though, and that's three weeks out so so we want to go ahead and make it official? Everyone good for the 27th?

[enderswift]

works for me!

[cheela]

either way works. Sept or October. I wanna see me a green supra though...

[enderswift]

either way works. Sept or October. I wanna see me a green supra though...

you know, I think we should pick a day that works for Mr. & Mrs. green supra!

[richee3]

Don't worry about us. The 27th seems to work perfectly for everyone else, and it's in three weeks so we need to get a definite date set ASAP.

[sixgentoyota]

We are good with the 27th or any Oct weekend OTHER than the 11th.

[Bitter]

So what's the word bird? Are we decided on date? How about location?

[richee3]

The 27th seems to work out for everyone. Let's get the list going.

[bloodMoney]

Unacceptable.

You missed the last one, fix the date that you can make.

[Bitter]

agreed

[Bitter]

Oct 4th or 11th anyone?

[sixgentoyota]

Oct 4th or 11th anyone?

We'd be out the 11th. 4th would work.

[enderswift]

Either works for me

[Bitter]

Need moar inputs.

[narly_charley]

I'm down for any weekend...

[Bitter]

I go down every weekend...

Where is this meet at? Forgive my ignorance if you have mentioned it before, I have not seen it.

[4-eyed-freek]

starved rock state park in Illinois is where is usually is, if its changed then please correct me if im wrong.

[navseal345]

I go down every weekend...

Says the guy whose significant other left him for warmer weather.

I will probably have to sit this one out, but only time will tell.

[Bitter]

She left me for Shamu :-(

[richee3]

At least she didn't leave you for free Willy.

[cheela]

how come the midwest meet threads are the only ones that go this direction? hahahah

anyways, Dan, what date is good for you!?

[Bitter]

At least she didn't leave you for free Willy.

She's running away from the free willy's! The things she says she sees when she has to work the Seaworld water park...

[Bitter]

So, any consensus?

[richee3]

Brigette has to work the 27th so we definitely can't make it then. However, she doesn't know her October schedule yet and I'll be back to work with exactly zero days off, so we will make it if we both happen to be off work that day.

Like I said, don't plan this meet around us. You guys pick a date that works for you and we will do our best to be there. I didn't spend a small fortune on a mkIV to keep it hidden in a garage so we will do what we can, but it all comes down to timing.

[Bitter]

NOPE, whole midwest orbits around you two.

[Bitter]

Maybe there for dinner? Though pizza was good the last time I was out.

I don't do sushi but supposedly according to Yelp and Tripadvisor there's a good sushi and chinese place there too called New China.

[richee3]

Brigette is off work on the 4th, but I may or may not be working. We'll see.

[bloodMoney]

That's better.

[Bitter]

So he's calling off sick to work on the 4th!

[richee3]

I'd be fired before the shift even started. It's the kind of job that if I show up 45 minutes before the shift starts, I'm late. If I miss a single second of work in the first 6 months, I'm fired.

I haven't worked in 6 months because I was trying to find something better. This is literally my only option.

[Bitter]

Dang. I'm pretty sure even the Wehrmacht weren't that strict!

[nics]

Any date yet?

[malecrod]

Don't think we will be able to make this meet. I actually got that weekend off but the Celica is in the shop for an upgrade and not due back till end of October/early November. If car is finished earlier than promised, we will definitely try to make it.

Eli.

[narly_charley]

I'll be coming in my new 2004 ES330...

[Bitter]

Damn man, just pick a car and stick with it.

[Bitter]

I say we plan for the 4th of October since it seems the most compatible date so far? Any objections?

[nics]

Oct 4 Works for me

[enderswift]

Provided I don't let anyone at work know I'm a BAMF, I'll have the 4th off. However, if I let it slip that I'm a closet BAMF, my schedule could change. So, tentatively...

Anyone want to split up burger duty?

[enderswift]

I can bring some much less tasty jewel burgers

[Bitter]

If I'm bringing the little grill then I'm limited on space so I can't bring a cooler with more stuff in it. So it's kind of little grill and little stuff (cups, plates, condiments, capri sun, etc) or no little grill and a larger cooler with meats, cheeses, etc.

[sixgentoyota]

We will bring hot dogs!

[Bitter]

My hotdog don't want none unless you got buns hun.
How many buns we gonna need? Any special requests? Vegetarian, gluten free, specific allergies?

[narly_charley]

I'll be making black bean quiona burgers for any vegetarians.

No Chris and Wife?

[richee3]

I see a high of 64 and only 10% chance of rain for Saturday. Should be nice!

[Bitter]

I agree, nice cool weather but still warm enough for summer tire traction. Maybe some of the trees will be starting to change over to fall colors?

[bloodMoney]

I forgot about this.... Things have been super slammed at work, so I haven't had much time to surf.

I need to talk to her about going, she may be doing an install day at the house, I'm not sure.

I'll check up tomorrow and let you guys know.

[Bitter]

We need Stacy and husband otherwise we'll have no dark meat.

[richee3]

Chris, don't make me make hollow threats of banishment that I'll never follow through on!

Looks like a high of 55 now. Better bring jackets.

PERFECT!

And is anyone vegan? I use an egg in the burgers I make, I have another recipe that doesn't use egg.

[Bitter]

Yum! I believe the cute little blond girl is a vegan or gluten free or something? I'm terrible with names so I just describe people. I believe she's got the cute boyfriend with the awesome hair, they're going to make some sexy babies. Maybe they have a Murano and a 350Z? Or is that the white Celica? I can't even remember cars at this point. The people you know with arms and legs, some face parts, a few internal organs, etc.

Yum! I believe the cute little blonde brunette girl is a vegan or gluten free or something vegetarian? I'm terrible with names so I just describe people. I believe she's got the cute troll boyfriend with the awesome hair no correction needed here, it's so dashing with its fluffy layers, and clearly isn't thinning out at all, they're going to make some sexy babies by this I assume you mean we'll adopt some cute puppies. Maybe they have a Murano and a 350Z? sold that bad boy a couple of months ago! Or is that the white Celica? I can't even remember cars at this point. Neither can I. We go through them so quickly. The people you know with arms and legs, some face parts, a few internal organs, etc.

But, uh.... On a serious note, remember that joke I made about management at work realizing I'm a badass? Well.... They noticed. I got moved up in 4 days, which is cool and all, but now I might have to work this weekend. There's still a chance that I might not but we'll see.

[Bitter]

Well congrats on work, tell them they need to give you some short notice vacation as a celebration.

And yes, I'm really horrible at all things people, I'm past the point of shame. Don't hate me. :rofl: At some point at some meet I'm just going to say 'hey you with the eyebrows' to someone or 'you with the tires on the wheels bolted to hubs'.

I'll bring my little gas grill, anyone want to bring charcoal for Chris to run over?

This post has been edited by Bitter: Oct 1, 2014 - 9:03 PM

[richee3]

All good! She was blonde for forever, and I never really made an announcement that we sold the Z. Just sort of mentioned that we picked up a replacement.

I figured I'd bring some charcoal if we come. But if you are bringing a gas grill, I'll skip the charcoal. I'll still bring some burgers, but probably not enough to feed everyone. Don't count on me being there, but I'm planning on making it until I hear 100% that I have to work.

[Bitter]

It's a tiny grill though, like 4 burgers at a time.



Stacy flipping burgers with tortilla chips because I forgot a flipper or tongs!

[bloodMoney]

We're out for this one guys. We've made some commitments and need to keep them.

If you feel like venturing into the city after hiking/dinner, let me know!

[Bitter]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

:-(

[richee3]

Chris isn't coming? CANCEL ALL MEAT!!!!! BRING FINGER FOOD ONLY!!!

Just kidding, we'll still find someone to grill. Chris, you know I'm not leaving without getting some dinner. I'm a fatty.

[cheela]

dang, Daniel or Bitter needs to take over story time then.

and i had some nifty cool stuff to show off on my car this time too. just finsihed installing yesterday. sucks that I won't be there.

[Bitter]

I have a BRZ tag a long.

[4-eyed-freek]

Wish i make this guys Saturday is my birthday so will be out of town, have fun and take some good pics!

Well, bad news. We can't make this meet. The short version of the story is that some higher-up at work noticed me so in the span of a week I've gone from entry-level job to half a step away from one of the highest paying jobs. Anyway, now I'm working through the weekend now.

[Bitter]

Damnit man, stop being so good at your job! That's actually fantastic news, too bad you can't make it. I was going to bring some tools and planned on stealing the 3MZ out of the Lexus and swapping it into someone's car in the parking lot. We could have used your help.

[richee3]

I'm off work at 3 on Saturday. I can load up in the Soup and make it up there for a Sunday meet slash stealig Joe's engine!

[Bitter]

Lol. We'll steal his engine at the spring meet....if he still has the car in the spring. He changes cars like the seasons of the year.

[navseal345]

So about that Spring Meet? lol

[narly_charley]

Damnit man, stop being so good at your job! That's actually fantastic news, too bad you can't make it. I was going to bring some tools and planned on stealing the 3MZ out of the Lexus and swapping it into someone's car in the parking lot. We could have used your help.

My car is too heavy to not have the 3MZ, I can't afford to lose the torque... Haha! Sean and I are still going no matter what, it'll still be fun. Dalton will come as well with his new surprise vehicle.

Hahaha!
