3geez 10th Anniversary Unofficial Meet Thread - Eastern PA

Alright, something needs to be done to celebrate the 10th anniversary of 3geez.com, and I'd be happy to get it started. It's time for all of us to get together and put together a meet worthy of the forum that's helped us all so much over the past 10 years.

I know all of you guys in the Northeast and PA are friends and even put together a great meet in NJ last year (I wish I could have gone, but my schedule just didn't mesh). And I know that there are a bunch of folks from farther south who are always up for a drive. So let's get in the mood for some discussion on the Wheres, Whens, Whos, and Hows.

What: 3geez 10th Anniversary meet!
Where: TBD (Eastern PA). By Eastern PA, I literally mean anywhere in Eastern PA. From Scranton to Philly. Let's see which area is most convenient to everyone who is interested and then go from there.
When: Sometime in July or August. Tell us when you're available in the poll!
Who: You! Sign in here!
How: Who cares, just get there. Not all of us have running 3gees at the moment, so however you can get here is great.

Anyone is welcome if this forum has touched you in some way. We'll get the Official thread started once some details and commitments have been hammered out.

I think we have a couple options as far as agenda goes. I was initially thinking of meeting up all day Saturday. Say, meet around 10am-noon somewhere, go for a drive, and then cook out and hang at a park or small pavilion until people start taking off. Or, if folks would like to make a weekend out of it and go camping or add more items to the agenda, that would be great. Let's talk about it!

aww man wish i can make this but its to far and i dont have vacation pay if i dont make it back...

As long as I can get the time off im in! I obviously dont have the 3g, so whoever shows up will have to deal with my girl car. :lol:

i was actually gonna ask for that week off, so i might be able to make it, my birthday is the 3geez anniversary.

good idea, not going to happen ever at all if it isnt even discussed... I sure as hell wouldn't be making that one a day trip though:lol:
I am already thinking there is something scheduled close to that date. We will see.

^^ ur thinking of Import Alliance witch is july 17-18. you should just say make it that weekend at the IA meet in TN. We should have a nice 3gee crew out there like we did last year anyways!

We should probably discuss the date first. It doesn't NEED to be on the 10th, especially since it's kind of short notice for some folks and if pushing it back will include more people, then it's worth talking about.

So let me know your availability. If the 10th isn't ideal, then post a better weekend for you.

Well any week-end for me would kinda be the same. It's more or less a 7 hour drive. It all depends on where it's going to be.

If you want a better idea of how far to drive, check how far Philly is from you. There are a lot of things within an hour of Philly.

sooo dont read my post then. there is a NATIONAL(meaning ppl from cali, tx, fl, ny, ect) are driving to Tn for a meet. why not have it then? a good amount of 3geez already know about it.


Just sayin.

^^im sure this was read, and dooly noted as the discussion continues, it all is taken into consideration I would think...:)


For conversational purposes, it has been suggested to have meets, such as East Coast for example, to be held around larger car events. This has advantages as well as disadvantages IMO. I guess the location would affect the amount of either enough to make deciding factors surface.

It is not happening this year. I think next year is more likely to happen if some place is not chosen.



In regards to a weekend in July I am pretty open and flexible except for 4th of July weekend.

Nashville is a little farther out of my range than I'd like. Philly is about the farthest I can go for a weekend trip - not that any meet should revolve around me being there. I wanted to make it an East Coast/NE meet because it's fairly close for me, and I saw that some of the NE guys may be thinking about putting something together anyway.

But I agree that we should base the meet around a larger event, even if it's just a trip to the local track. Anyone know of what's around Philly?

Good cheesesteaks? :)

Cheesesteaks are definitely a good idea, Tony Lukes anyone? As for the track, we would have to travel to New Jersey for that, and then it would probably be packed due to it being the weekend.

there doesn't seem to be much interest

Gah, I want chesesteaks! I want to drive to PA. But it's way too soon, or I would totally be down for a vacation and a drive!

^^ That would be a long trip.

wait i have heard nothing of another east coast meet:dunno:

there's silent interest Steve. ...of course we're in.

id do it , i know i can make those days but it depends on the location , pretty much anything in eastern PA i should make. The honda isnt gonna look as pretty as it did last time , the rust is starting to chew her alive

Ha, I think we need enthusiastic interest instead.

We can keep this going, or I can restructure the thread with a more open date range.

not that it matters, because I blow at showing up for meets, but I have a scheduled vacation in Rhode Island with the family that starts that weekend.

that date is not good for me either...
I always wanted a true Philly cheesteak, real Maryland crabcakes, real new york pizza. etc.. Ive never traveled up the east coast.

I feel obligated to post this in every meet thread. Ever.


3geez national meet in 2011! Plan ahead and plan early, make it a central location (i know I'm biased and everything lol)

Anywho, i probably wouldn't be able to make it to the east coast again this year.
