I know who will be there when we set something up.

Its always almost the same group of people.

How do we make the other 60 people who post here on a reg basis show up?

We do things that range from free car shows to dinners to everything in between.

Should be something that fits almost every budget.

Location wise we have had get togethers from NW IN to Schaumburg, so at some point everyone had something within20-30 minutes from them(not all I know, but 90% did).

So you folks that we never see out, how come your never out?

Even with a busy life, most stuff here that is more than a mild get together is planned with well over a month lead time. So why dont we see some new faces?

I'd love to come out to cruise nights and everything, but car isn't even close to done. When the enigne and tranny are built and in the car, I'll be able to attend all the cruise nights. I'd feel weird going to them with my ford explosion

 

i would do the next one iun jan but i jsut can afford it right now.. otherwise i would be there.. if the next meeting is realitively close and nto tarable expensive ill go..

 

you can pay my to hang out with you j/k

money was a big issue last year....dont see it being TOO much of a prob this year....and i will have my car done so i will be more inclined to come out because i wont be driving a rammed up cutlass

 

Once the car's rolling I'll be attending....now that the holidays are over I'll finally have some time to start knocking out more things on the car in order to get it to a shop for the exhaust to get fabbed and get the PROM going

I dont think he really cares if your car is running or not, just come out with your daily driver to say Hi and meet a few of us

 

lol

Yeah, not having a car or only having a six or any other issues u have dont count.

Doesnt mean u cant come out and hang with the rest of us. I drive my Saturn when my cars have me po'ed lol

But either way I'm there.

Sides, I cant really think of anything we have done that has actually been considered expensive.

Got out to a couple of major things this year...was good to see ya on the PT..... would of liked to got to a few more but with the kids and taking care of my mom it didn't work out. We don't have much planned for this year and will try to get up there to meet more of you guys over the summer.....did see some of you at Morris but didn't know who was who.

 

first thought when i read the thread "give me money to finish my car!" while, since thats not an exceptable excuse, i dont have one i will possibly attend events this year if you dont care then. ill bring my achieva, and race anything lb9 or slower i think the only people ive met are brandon, dean, tj, dylan when he was still around, and tony that had the red z that got wrecked, has a blue one now, not sure if he posts on here though

 

I have a good excuse, I am not in the state!!!!! give me 5 months to fix that and I will be there, running or not

 

yea i would be out there but i kind of live in tennesee right now so that doesnt work out so well but if i am ever in town and you guys are doing something im in for sure

 

Pay me $240 a day so I can call off work and I will be there.

 

And his Saturn costs him more in oil than it does in gas!

nape (TJ) has been out a few times in his beater Beretta too

 

im over in fort wayne during the school year....but i really dont wanna miss third gen fest '06....so i will try my hardest to get off work and make it out there....and i would like to drive up for some cruise nights this summer...those are fun!!

 

iv been to third gen fest 04 and 05 but nothing else. I really want to do a cruise night and think it would be awsome to do it downtown chicago. this year i will try to make it to other events.

 

Ahhh....I didn't know about the regular gatherings in the past, I figured they were all car gatherings...everyone gets their cars out and meets up to show them off and cruise around. I haven't been on TGO much in the past few years since my car's been in progress and school was keeping me busy....I didn't really know about this local section here...only MFBA.org. Now that I discovered it I'm looking forward to some gatherings...

- Joel

 

so you work 24/7 365 days of the year, that sucks

 

Just about. most of my days off are during the middle of the week.
I work 12 hr. swing shifts at Nucor Steel melting mustangs into rebar.

 

You all know me. I am willing to come up on weekends but allways need a couch to crash on. Hell I'll even work on your car..I don't care as long as I am having fun. Coming home with parts is allways a plus.

 

I'll tell you what Jeremy,
I wish I could find at least 2 people where I am located to participate in something like this. I know there are a few but most are too far and beyond to participate. Best of luck on your gatherings and I wish I could get at least 3 to get a gathering going.

 

lol

well where are u iron duke?

 

I would like to be e-mailed when there are things that come up- I live in Southern Indiana, but if ther is somethin goin on around Terre Haute, or indy or anderson i dont have a problem goin up there on a saturday for a carshow and cruise or whatever..
And- i would like to get some people to come down here and all go to the drag strip in Indy some weekend and run our F-bodys down the quarter mile..
txmxrider_1569@hotmail.com

Thanks
Jeff

 

I live in BFE aka as but falked anywhere. I live in Northern New Mexico close to Albuquerque but not many TGO members from NM on here?

 

Which strip? Last year, we all went to US41..

 

If I get a job back in the Chicagoland area, I get to move back.

Then I'm in, even if the Camaro won't be out

 

Are you talking about the 1/8th mile strip in Terre Haute as US41?

or is that somewhere more up north?

The one i was originaly refering to was IRP in Indy- the 1/4 mile track.....

And i will talk to a local 1/8th mile track down here ( E.T. Raceway)
and see if sometime they might like to hold a car show and sunday show off.....

 

US 41 dragway in Morroco, IN.

I have one word for all you beater car people. Escort. I drive it everywhere. When it dies I fix it. When the other car dies, i fix it.

Hell, hop a ride with someone if you are so embarrased about not having your car, or need to share gas.

BTW, I may have a apt warming party, but for right now I'm just trying to get things settled in. I have, 1 knife, 1 fork, and 1 spoon. Thanks Tim and Mich, I don't feel like a savage anymore.

 

i think it would be cool to make a run down to IRP to race and then we could all hang out somewhere or something.... there is an awesome indoor european karting place down there right off of 865 and 431.....there website is www.fastimesindoorkarting.com

its just a suggestion.....

 

Matt- That is a great idea- Ive been to one of those places in Indy- except it was the Stephan Johannsen Karting School and they all ran on methanol- but it was still awsome b/c they sit an inch off the ground and 0-40 in 3 seconds
wish i still had thier buisness card.....

 

I know! Free beer and cheap women! j/k! Now that I'm down to only 1 left in college, I'd like to start making some of these events, for fun and to increase my knowledge. Believe it or not, us "points & condenser/carb" guys are still struggling with FI! Keep me posted. Thanks!

 

man i feel young, i started college last year coincedently i havent driven my car since last year either

edit: 1500 posts, WOOHOO

 

i just finished all my college no more school for me, about time i tell ya.

 

Wow- I make all you guys look old-.. lol

I start college next fall..

 

Steve I don't think u will be able to make it. Your going to be busy working on my car lol..

i'm going to try to get out some more this year.

 

Beretta aka best parts hauler ever.

Gotta drive it when one of my 3rd gens has no windows and the other has no drivetrain

I probably won't be out much until after mid-March when I get a paycheck again. Gotta keep myself in beer and smokes on a budget. lol

 

Now that I think about it, I could go cruising with you guys in the 78 T/A

 

Do it, its not exactly 100% thirdgen. Of course, we try to be, but if my TA is down, then my Z comes out, and that's not exactly a thirdgen..

 

Just got to get an exhaust on her and shell be done, so I'll be meeting ya guys soon this summer.

Mattw---

I think this is a good Idea!!

3.8 Trans am What dates are you thinking on for this get together??

I'm new to this board (found it one day searching for engine parts!) but would be interested in partisipating (sp) in meet and greets

 

I dont set up events :-)

I help coordinate and do whatever I can to see them happen.

If u guys have something good to do down there, than take the lead and see if u can drum up some interest and get it off the ground.

We have rented Rt 41 Dragstrip in Morrocco the last 2 years and this will be our third.

Hoping to have a date finalized before the end of Jan.

Most likely somewhere in the May-June area.

For u guys who dont have a thirdgen currently or its in pieces, but are in the area, come on out, doesnt matter what u bring as long as we get people to participate.

Guys- as much fun as it would be for me to drive up to morocco and race my car- its almost 4 hours away for me. - being in Southern In. and all- if somethin were to break- i'd be screwed. Lol- so i dunno if i'd be able to make it up there.
I might come to show off the car and watch i guess..
but i really love the racing....
