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

Posted by: Bitter Jul 28, 2017 - 6:58 PM

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!'

Posted by: njccmd2002 Jul 31, 2017 - 2:10 AM

how big is that garage?

Posted by: bloodMoney Jul 31, 2017 - 9:26 AM

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

Posted by: narly_charley Jul 31, 2017 - 1:57 PM

I'm voting August 26th.

Posted by: sixgentoyota Aug 2, 2017 - 11:48 AM

26th we're in

Posted by: CoolZeen Aug 2, 2017 - 2:39 PM

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

Posted by: narly_charley Aug 8, 2017 - 3:43 PM

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

Posted by: CoolZeen Aug 9, 2017 - 7:30 AM

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

Posted by: bloodMoney Aug 9, 2017 - 10:32 AM

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:

Posted by: narly_charley Aug 9, 2017 - 2:01 PM

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.

Posted by: Bitter Aug 9, 2017 - 9:20 PM

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.

Posted by: CoolZeen Aug 10, 2017 - 7:51 AM

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 .

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.

Posted by: Bitter Aug 10, 2017 - 12:06 PM

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.

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.

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.

Posted by: Bitter Aug 12, 2017 - 10:03 PM

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?

Posted by: sixgentoyota Aug 20, 2017 - 9:21 AM

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

Posted by: CoolZeen Aug 23, 2017 - 1:39 PM

Posted by: Bitter Sep 7, 2017 - 7:49 PM

Sounds OK to me!

Posted by: CoolZeen Sep 8, 2017 - 11:17 AM

how is the 28th sounds?

Posted by: Bitter Sep 10, 2017 - 12:22 PM

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

Ok then. Lets see who else.

Posted by: CoolZeen Sep 15, 2017 - 1:23 PM

just us ? nobody else?

Posted by: Bitter Sep 15, 2017 - 7:19 PM

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

Posted by: CoolZeen Sep 21, 2017 - 11:19 AM

i will be taking burgers ,cheese and buns.

Posted by: Warlock93 Sep 26, 2017 - 10:44 AM

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.

Posted by: Bitter Sep 28, 2017 - 7:29 PM

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

Posted by: navseal345 Sep 28, 2017 - 9:21 PM

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*

Posted by: bloodMoney Sep 29, 2017 - 8:55 AM

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

Devin: Shut up. tongue.gif

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. smile.gif

Posted by: cheela Sep 29, 2017 - 10:57 AM

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


Posted by: Bitter Sep 30, 2017 - 9:18 AM

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

Posted by: CoolZeen Oct 16, 2017 - 9:12 AM

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

Posted by: Bitter Oct 16, 2017 - 6:23 PM

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.

Posted by: CoolZeen Oct 16, 2017 - 7:56 PM

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!

Posted by: Bitter Oct 16, 2017 - 8:49 PM

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.

Posted by: CoolZeen Oct 23, 2017 - 11:22 AM

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

Posted by: cheela Oct 23, 2017 - 11:25 AM

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.

Posted by: Bitter Oct 23, 2017 - 11:54 AM

Weather is calling for 40s and rain. Pass.

Posted by: CoolZeen Oct 25, 2017 - 12:25 PM

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

Posted by: cheela Oct 25, 2017 - 12:59 PM

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. smile.gif

Posted by: Bitter Oct 25, 2017 - 6:20 PM

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

Posted by: cheela Oct 25, 2017 - 9:31 PM

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.

Posted by: Bitter Oct 25, 2017 - 10:06 PM

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

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.

Posted by: Bitter Oct 28, 2017 - 3:05 PM

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

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).

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.
