See you guys there!

 

Have fun guys.

Working on saturdays sucks

 

I would call in sick! Or better yet, tell them your 'old Camaro' died - they'll believe that!

 

You guys all have fun!
Maybe next year I can drive on down and visit you all!
"Hi" to all of you we know, from both Lisa and me!

meeting was awsome,great meeting everyone again.Cant wait till the next one

 

Here are some photos from tonight's meeting at Ricky & Ronnie's - it was a great night, very good food and lots of cool people to meet and talk with. Thanks to all who were able to make it!

Here's one of the cars: (my 'vert is in the foreground!)

 

Another photo of the cars:

 

And a photo of some of us after dinner (including my 5 year old, Grace, for sure one of the youngest members!)

 

It was a really great dinner. I met a lot of new cool people & of course the cool people I already know! It was fun listening to stories! & a little embarassing seeing some of those videos with me in it! I really liked Vincent's street racing tapes.

 

This was a really good get together. Good food and good time. Hands down, beat Knott's Chicken Restaurant IMHO.

 

Black car or red car?

1st both spun, second both spun to about half way through hooked to a dead even pull, third both dead even, half way through fourth the red car put a car on the black one, shut down at around 115

Heads up, Street tire to street tire, all in all…not bad at all...

Nicely done Vince, it felt like we were back in the late eighties again! Once Ken get his RS dialed, it's going to be on!

 

Yeah, but where's the video tape?

 

Yea, Vince kicked my ***, I have to admit it...
Gotta start practicing. Thats why they make industrial parks

 

I was at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show in Orlando on Saturady. Lotsa toys and goodies, but not much new or happening for 3rd gens. I talked with Rick Jensen, editor of GM High Tech magazine about him looking into a story on Craig Moates Ostrich computer adapter, so you can do real-time laptop updates on your tunes instead of having to burn chips and re-test every time. If it happens, it probably won't see print for about 6 months.

Anyway, happy holidays everyone. I'll try and make another meeting as my travel schedule has now slowed down.

HA HA - I love it!

 

I agree 100%. Thuglife! Those videos were great, i think we should get them online, i think the statue of limitations is up and they can be posted.

 

Wasnt that Top Dawg?

 

Taco eaters can't spell......he tried to spell Top Dawg and best he could do was Thug.

Goes to show, the more money spent does not always produce successful results.


3:42, just wake up did you????????

 

I dunno about him, but I get up at 4am

 

Sorry I couldn't make it guys but the drive was a bit too long for me....

 

No excuse, Hylton!

 

Come to think of it, I do have a car in Bakersfield, CA......maybe next time!

 

How come nobody told me!!!!! I would have been there. Then I could have picked up a car on the way home!!!

 

 

TJ, why am I not surprised to see you?
These guys are pretty cool, it was a fun evening. If it were summer, we probably would have been there all night - lots of interesting stuff, all third gen...all interesting cars.
Too bad your g/f won't let you come out and visit, you'd like the cars out here!

 

She never said I couldn't visit, just I can't buy a car right now. Well she said I can do whatever I want, but then she doesn't want to hear me talk about money issues! oops!

And of course you are going to see me here, I follow you around!!! Beware MAUHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Yeah, right, you can do what you want! Dude, just WAIT until you get married! HAHAHA - the joke will be on you!

Guys, tell him, am I wrong?

 

Your married, you still ****************** Camaro?

Do I even have to bring up **edit** your wife is the nicest, most smartest person, and you never blow your money

 

Sssshhhhhhh! Dude, not so loud - the wife may find me on here and be reading this! That's why I don't leave my thirdgen.org mouse pad in plain view!

I will PM you the secrets of spending money on your car without the wife knowing - they may be chicks cruising the board...

p.s. we don't speak the 'p' work (plane) in my house...

 

well then, we better edit our posts.

What P word? I never said any P word????

No evidence!
What, evidence of what? I'm crazy man.

(p.s. successfully edited above, check it out!!!)

 

Nice edit job, Gumbi All I know is my 'vert keeps me sane, it's my favorite car for sure. And I LOVE my polished aluminum...

I still cannot fathom how you sold yours... a travesty!

 

I haven't gotten that pm yet on the secrets to spending money.

Also, I haven't gotten the pm on the pm i sent you early about the cars.

Are you pm'ed out?

 

lol.....who teached you how to spoke

 

If you guys are going to talk about private stuff, perhaps you should use private messages instead of public forums.

 

If we wanted to talk privately, we would whisper...NOT TALK OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!

 

This isn't a tech board, it's sort of a continuation of the conversations we didn't finish or didn't have the other night.

Maybe someone should plan a meeting for January, and then we won't have to BS so much on here!

 

I think pumpkins smell nice.

 

Come on Mike how appropriate is that pic with that term of word..

I hope everyone had a great time.. My only thought how appropriate is it to be watching Street racing in public?

 

Or participating in street racing??

 

That all depends on your definition of appropriate...
I had a great time. Nice display of cars. My freinds had a good time too. They are starting to really like 3rd gens. Thanks for replaying my runs.

 

Thanks Ben for providing the comic relief in the videos. It helped make the evening a success. Only kidding.

 

I had thought Vincent was showing videos of him street racing..

 

Street racing? Stupid.
Watching a video of someone ELSE doing it? Awesome!
Thanks for some entertainment!

 

I'll let you guys know when my next comedy bit is, I believe it will be at Irwindale so unforunately you guys will only get half the jokes (1/8 mile vs 1/4).

 

If a tree falls in the forest and you aren’t there to hear it, does it still make noise? If a couple of old friends just happen to be on the same industrial strip with a pair of high horsepower cars, and one of the guys dips into the throttle and the other follows suit can you call it a “Street Race” if there aren’t any spectators?

…crippled with curiosity…

 

Actually, no, it DOES NOT make noise...
Any reference to such an event is just hearsay and conjecture.
