Edit, Schmedit! Get the freakin' pics up Luke! I just spent 7 days with two screaming kids, a grumpy, "I'll do what the heck I want to do" wife, and a mother-in-law that knows more than God himself. I need something to help me unwind AND pics from a trip I couldnt make sure would help. Pleeeaaassse

Sounds like a genuine 3geez meet when you spend most of the time trying to fix broken cars.

I was the only one that got down the track with my 438k miles....and I didnt break all weekend....

go go gadget smoke screen!

Alright Alright i know everyone is shy so i will just tell the story


Thursday: Everyone gets into hotels, takes naps, etc. Dennis couldn't make it, we decided not to go to the track
Friday: Dennis gets to town, we spend half the day swappin wheels and working on that damn Saturn that we drove (STILL is making that horrible noise btw). We then find a drag strip to go to. To avoid spousal reprocutions, myself and johnathan (My friend that i brough) skipped the dragstrip and got dragged to the mall. I text steve to find out how his run went.

Steve: Ya. My car on a flatbed

Turns out the ghetto dragstrip they wound up going to did not have a FWD burnout box. Steve literally sheared off the end of his axle.

Saturday: 8am - 8:35 Steve pulls out his axle (super quick i thought) He scours the city of raleigh looking for an axle with Dennis, who promptly breaks a balljoint. While he, rob and steve work to remove his hub, Luke and i run to the honda dealership with steves girlfriend to get MTF, and get MAD TYTE JDM honda hats for 6 bucks!! Luke and i go shopping finally to get groceries for the BBQ, which we finally started cooking for at around 2


All in all, I was VERY dissapointed in the turnout. Don't get me wrong, we had an absolute BLAST! Made great friends (although we did that last year too LOL) and had a lot of fun. As Steve put it, it turned into a lot of work with a bit of fun, but we made up for it i think. I feel like my 20 hours of driving was worth it

I had a good time and I think Dennis is right that next time we need to have the meet around a larger event. But...great job to Adam and Dennis for getting it all set up. where was stat1k??

let me interject too the WB Ulmstead park is huge, as was mentioned here in a few places, yet me with no mobile internet device didn't scan the details before planning the trip I didn't really plan, went in the wrong side thanks to Garmin GPS and rode around almost another hour trying to find a Honda meet. I saw a few modified Hondas scattered there and on the Ebenezer Church rd leading around to the other side,that may have been looking for the meet but I never saw any of them land.

It was great all the same, I learned a new way not to cook on the grill. Ive never seen such a waste of aluminum before. LMAO
Seeing some of the most innovative projects on the board in person was cool.

wait a sec.. mall vs track after a 10 hour drive to a car meet... what the lol

It was nice meeting you...next time bring both your 3gs??


I have pics, but I think and hope Luke's pics are the best and I really don't want to steal his thunder quite yet. I'll give him a little more time...

I just wanted to add that I had a good time despite some piss poor luck and I hope we can make this a yearly deal as it is fun hanging out with you guys.

Yup the kid who wants to buy the gcs are me. Youre down to help people...lol.

[mushroom_toy]

But anyway guys Im gonna be making my own thread for the pics, not to be an asshat, but just so I can set it up how I want and add the links to the blog, and flickr. Plus im gonna have to do a lot of seperate posts since I have around 50 pics to post up. However once I get done feel free to post the pics up in my thread, although it will eat away the bandwidth as it is lol...over 187mb of pics...lol

I would love to knock it out this weekend but Monday is not good for us fellas to get together. My parents want to see their grand kids on Monday. I was thinking Saturday or Sunday for sure. Let me know whats up!

[stat1K]

i'm sorry i didn't attend guys, i was in phoenix the week prior and had the friday off and everything to make the drive, unfortunately i got sick on the plane back and was bed ridden all week and weekend. i just now have returned to getting out of bed. sucks too cus i definitely paid for use of the ramada lol... all of you owe me 3 dollars

i saw the pics yesterday and was going to post but didn't end up getting a chance. looks like it would have been really good to attend and i would have even met roodoo, too bad. we need to have a winter one before it snows so i guess more of a fall one huh? or we could just shoot for next year right? maybe some of the further north guys can make it, or we can do it a little further north to help out with their drive.
