Mid-Atlantic Meet

[syclinsam]

If you are a 3gee'r in the mid-atlantic region interested in a simple one day or afternoon meet please post a reply. We can start working some dates and places. There are three of us already interested in this type of meet (barring bad weather) maybe somewhere in the south eastern / south central PA to Baltimore area. We're aiming for something simple just to get the ball rolling, like meeting up for lunch and talking 3geez or any other good ideas that will draw a few 3geez out.

[cubert]

meh...i had no problem with going to CT....but PA is gonna be a bit too far for me

[russiankid]

Where do you live? I don't live to far from Baltimore.

[Toneloc5145]

I know there are more people on this forum that live in PA, VA, MD, NJ, or DE. I personally have never been to an organized meet, let alone one with 3geez so I'm excited. Let's get this thing going.

[russiankid]

First thing is we need to make a thread so everyone can see. Then we need to decide on a location that would work best for everyone. Further more, if its a park, check to see if reservations need to be made of any sort. make reservations if needed. Then someone near by should drive down there, check out the area, possibly check out areas for lunch and pictures. Thats just a start.

[Toneloc5145]

We also need to decide on a general time frame, because that's what matters the most to me. I'm at school/college right now, so if it was planned during the school year, I'd definitely have to schedule things way ahead of time. I know you have school too Russiankid (what's your real name btw?), so planning around that, or making this a late spring/early summer meet would have to be the best option.

[russiankid]

Sam. Time frame is good, weekends usually work best. If anyone wants to meet up anytime let me know.

[syclinsam]

What do you think about May? Maybe the second weekend or the weekend after finals?

I think a park location would be great for any number big or small and right now we should plan on that.

...but I have an idea to run by you guys. I don't know if it has been done or tried in the past I didn't search to check, (any input from anyone who has tried this would be great). Once we decide on a general time frame, if get a good response say at least 10 people are pretty much confirmed. I was thinking it would be cool to see if we could meet at a Honda dealership. You know how they have those tent sales and radio stations broadcast live etc. I'm not saying we would be a draw for people but it sure wouldn't hurt the sales pitch, "sure you should buy an Accord, they last forever, look over there" (10 accords lined up) Just a crazy idea that might be better for a later mid-atlantic meet after the ball is rolling, I wanted to put it out there.

[russiankid]

^^ That would be cool. Maybe we should roll down to the Honda plant in Ohio.:tongue: Just kidding.

[syclinsam]

that'll be next...maybe they'll see how cool it is at a dealership [I]they'll[I] call us! What about those dates?

[russiankid]

I am fine anytime really just for the end of February and mid March. May I have prom.

[syclinsam]

what about the first sat or sun in March?

[russiankid]

Hey if you guys are interested there will be a meet in Morgantown PA. Its a Sonic Drive-In meet and its expected to have 500 people. I most likely won't be in my 3gee but I will be in my BMW. Let me know if you want to go so I can supply details.

[syclinsam]

i'm interested, what kind of meet is it? I ask cause I don't have much in the way of upgrades, most of it is keep-it-running-grades

[russiankid]

This really isn't a meet for tuned cars. Both my cars are stock and I am still going.

['A20A3']

[russiankid]

[syclinsam]

it's in del mar. www.delawareracing.com

[Toneloc5145]

I'd be down for a Maryland meet as well. Not far away at all.

[Joay]

I'm in northern West Virginia, about four hours from DC but I'd be down for a Metro area meet. I'm kind of in the middle between DC / VA / NE meets and Ohio stuff so I never get to hang out.

So I'm willing to drive a bit.

['A20A3']

when are we gonna do thissssssss

[russiankid]

Well I am 2hours from A20A3, so not sure.

['A20A3']

we need to get this shit happeninggggg

[Joay]

Got a specific weekend in mind? I can drive to DC and back in a day so I'm flexible.
If nothing else you and me can go around and bug all the other 3Geezers at work one day. :tongue:

['A20A3']

^^we do have matching coupes and running the same drop on the same springs hahah that would look awesome riding
okay so im in for like a DC area meet and it looks like Joay is too so we need to strart planning a day or whatever and wtf everyone! who else wants in?

[russiankid]

DC is ok with me.

['A20A3']

i'm trying to find a cool restaurant-like spot or something and i'll end up coming out with a copule of other hondas and make a day out of it.

or we could meet at a track somewhere...

[russiankid]

I won't race, especially 2 hours away from home.

['A20A3']

it's all good. racing isnt mandatory or anything.

either a track, or a delicious Checkers. mmmmmm. hahahaha

[russiankid]

Checkers sounds good. By any chance would you have wheels and tires for under $200 with good tires?

['A20A3']

checkers it is. i'm gonna find a good spot somewhere.

Sadly no i don't have any wheels or tires for sale.

Both sets of my wheels have bad tires, so im in a bad spot.

i gotta buy 2 sets of tires and it's gonna cost me a damn bundle.

[russiankid]

Damn. Well if I don't have my tires by then I will take the BMW.

['A20A3']

we gotta show 'em the east coast cand do it big like the west coast

[Joay]

The CanAm thing sounded cool but it's way too far of a drive for me. I'm sure there are a lot of nice cars at that one.

['A20A3']

i'm trying to do something local. something a bunch of us can enjoy. without having to drive like 6 hours.

[russiankid]

When are you planning to do this? I ask because I need to a time frame to get tires,lol.

['A20A3']

i was thinking like mid-april to mid-may. sometime when it's nice, before it gets too damn blazing hot out. i dunno we'll figure it out. i gotta get tires too hahaha

[russiankid]

I have A/C so I am fine with the heat.

['A20A3']

i'm gutted and i have no a/c hahahaha

[russiankid]

I have A/C in both cars. My 3gee gets 37mpg highway with A/C doing 75mph steady....:flash:

['A20A3']

damn lucky you hahah i wish mine got that kinda mileage

[russiankid]

I just picked up some cheap ass tires for the 3gee. They'll do fine.

['A20A3']

sweeeeeeeeet. :flash:

[russiankid]

Yep. They're some Sears tires. Got them for $75 mounted onto some steelies that need paint. Not bad considering they have 90% tread left.

['A20A3']

time to paint some steelies! hahah

[russiankid]

Found out the steelies don't even fit the 3gen. Now in the process of remounting them onto my clean steelies. Haha.

['A20A3']

damn mang that sucks. :toilet:

[russiankid]

But now I know they're on good steelies, plus it gives me a great opportunity to inspect the tires inside and out.
