Unofficial "Flipped" East Coast meet.

[markmdz89hatch]

It's okay I tried to call you and even sent you text messages.

You'll have to wait a month before you see the 3g. I better get this thing A-1 for my 8 hour trip.

Hellz yes! That's what I'm talking about. I've been waiting 7+ years to see that damn clean DX (ok, not a dx anymore), and now I'm FINALLY going to be able to.

['A20A3']

well fine then

wawawawawawawawawa

i'm bringing the Accord.



ahahahahahahaha

['A20A3']

PS

i talked to Naggz (my lil bro) and he's in.

he WANTS to bring his car cause no one has seen it since it was steve's, and because it's been sitting over a year with no engine. it WILL be ready, even if we lose sleep over it. since it was wrecked and deemed totalled, naggz has put over $2500 into it, and thats what he paid for it.

i guess you could say that the 3geezus in our blood is thick, as neither of us have sold out on the 3G, but instead just throw thousands of dollars at them ahahaha

So, we're going to that Honda day or just attending our own meet + BBQ?

See that's where I'm on the fence. The only reason I was suggesting a meet in CT was because I'd be able to get my grill to the park, or just use one at the park (if the one of choice had one), and we could do the BBQ thing and just bullshit all day.

...but if we do the Hondaday thing, I'm guessing we can just all meet down there, park together, get our photo_ops and some of us can play in some of the events. idk. I wouldn't mind doing both honestly, but I don't know how possible that is.

I would also love to auto-x my car while I'm down there, but I'm scared to death of breaking something and having to pay many hundreds of $$ getting it towed home.

[russiankid]

Yeah I won't autox my car that far away from home. I have a grill that will fit in the car if we do our own meet and do a BBQ.

[carotman]

BBQ and bullshit sounds fun.
There's no way I would put my car on the track 500 miles from home. Plus doing our own thing is what we've been used to in the Honda community.

I don't know what this Honda day looks like but these events are prone to cars being broken into and vandalism in parking lots. I know we have 3rd gens but still...

This is what we do...Make sure everyone pays for parking in the pits. We park with Johnny and his beast, we bring a grill, food, drinks, tent etc. People can particpate in any events they wish, but we have a "base camp" in the pits for 3geez.

It does cost more to park in the pits, BUT the car will be with the group and not in the parking lot were some of the crooks hide.


Mark...TRIPLE A! Saved my butt on a few occasions.

OR

maybe we rent a truck and trailor/dolley. we could tow one down and then the other back up. if one breaks...that goes on the trailor.

[russiankid]

I have AAA but I am still not beating on my car.

Someone pointed out this thread about the Honda Day in E-Town

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2298895

I got there late last year and couldn't race or even join the show

Was willing to pay more for the racer/show ticket just to park in the pits instead of the parking lot so I could feel "safer" but wouldn't let us

Even tried to bribe the security guards at the gate to let us go to the pits instead of the parking lot telling them why and not feeling safe leaving it there

but they still refused and said "don't worry about the car...thats what we're here for"

so much for that LOL

luckily I stayed with my car the whole time and at least had one person watching it

a pepsi truck even got raided that day

one guy comes walking toward me with a case of diet pepsis saying "its christmas in the hood" LOL

That was in 2007 tough. The 2008 event seemed to have been better security wise.

With all of us paying the pit fees, we could have one hell of a bbq.

I guess it depends at what time we would go there.

[russiankid]

I am willing to pay extra for the pits if it comes down to that. If not, then we're going to have our own little BBQ.

I have been to Honda Day at etown for the last 3-4 years and if you get there early enough you can park in the pits, show or race. You can not show at 12or so and expect to race or to do that stuff as that around the time when the events get started.

Also, I have heard of some cars being broken into/stolen a in '06 or '07, but last year they had people at the gates stopping cars and checking ignitions to make sure they weren't broken.

If everyone parks in the pits we should be good to go, but I am in for whatever everyone else wants to do.

[russiankid]

Well either way when my car is parked it won't be able to start as I am anal like that.

Shit that means I gotta fix my ignition too. Dammit.

[russiankid]

Hahahhaha. Am I the only one who is going to be pulling a few fuses and wires?

[carotman]

Starts at 12

Sounds early

I might not be able to get there before the afternoon. Was there a time schedule set up already?

[russiankid]

I think it would be easier to just have our own meet somewhere.

['A20A3']

i thought it said the thing at etown was 9am to 6pm?

well regardless im coming down late friday night, staying in a hotel, getting up for saturday, and driving home saturday night probably. i wanna drive later at night both ways. less traffic on the interstate, wont have to rag on my car. win/win situation.

[cubert]

hmm..perhaps its time to install flip up lights on my TL...

lol that would be a funny sight and also fuck with so many people

I don't hate this idea at all. I just don't know of any good spot in Jersey. I would really like to get to HondaDay too though. Maybe we all hit up HondaDay early and leave with plenty of time to get to a meeting spot, snap a few pics, shoot the shit, and grab some comida before we begin our journeys home?

Carot --> No, no time set yet.

[russiankid]

We can do that. I am sure there is a park somewhere in NJ. If you can find some parks I can drive down one weekend and check them out. I am about 1.5hours from E-town.

[gp02a0083]

i know plenty of parks in the area

['A20A3']

i'm down for whatever, but going to HondaDay is a MUST for me.

if im up in NJ and i dont go, i deserve to get punched.

[markmdz89hatch]

Spill it my man. I like this idea of a HondaDay by day. Park visit by later in the afternoon/evening.
