Monthly Meets - DC / VA / MD / NJ / DE / PA

**gethree** · 03-15-2008, 04:02 AM

I've been browsing the forums here for a while now and just registered tonight. I know you guys don't know me as I'm a brand new member of the community, but I'd love to attend this meet-up.

I know the last thing you want is for some newbie to come and slam you with question after question, so that's not what I have in mind. I just thought it might be nice to actually see some of these carputers in person, instead of in jpegs, and start getting some ideas in my head for what I want to do with my Mercury Milan.

I work the 21st until 6:30, so I could be at the meet-up by about 7 p.m. If you guys decide on a meeting time near or after 7 p.m. I'd love to show up. If you guys don't mind of course.

I'll keep an eye on this thread, and my name is David by the way.

Has there been a concensus as to the location of the meet this Saturday? Or should we just meet at the park off of 495 like previous meets?

The park would be good with me... so long as the weather is nice

I'll be driving the 4runner

What is the final decision on the location for the meeting?
I'd like to come if possible, I'm in Springfield Va.

I'll be there this time too.

Long story short:

Had a pretty good installer, do a ton of work for a fantastic price. The dash work needed to be re-done, but he went out of business (it was a small side business). He offered to fix it, but I wanted him to get as much revenue from other projects as possible (yeah I'm nice like that).

Having another shop complete the work, hopefully this week. They said I might be able to drop my car off today or tomorrow, and thus pick-up by Friday. So, if this pans out, then I'll be there. This shop is a full time business, local (other was out of state), and has been around for years (my buddy used them for installs about 6 years ago).

Will keep an eye on the thread to see if it even happens this weekend. (of course next week would probably be better, since I will have my car 100% for sure, but I'll come with everything minus my dash regardless)

according to weather.com saturday will have a high of 51, with overcast and 30% chance of rain. Where have previous meets been other than the park (Turkey Run?) off of 495?

Mostly there, though I've missed the last few. Early last year/winter we had some out at the Tysons Mall (near the amc theater), but traffic is always a pain out there.
