NC August Greensboro Meet

[esinger]

Anyone want to try to get together in August in Greensboro. I'm thinking about the middle of the month, but it does not matter that much.

Let me know if your interested and what dates work best.

[99-LS1-SS]

Give me a day and I'll try to be there.

[esinger]

How about Saturday August 15th?

[99-LS1-SS]

As far as I know, I'm in. If something changes I'll post it.

[polo]

What time of day do you think the meet would be? I work on Saturdays until 4:00, but I can see about getting off early, or taking the day off.

[esinger]

Hi Polo,

The Raleigh meet we had lunch, but that doesn't mean we can't meet later. If the people that want to meet can do 5:00 PM, it's good for me too.

[polo]

If that's fine with everyone else that wants to attend, then count me in! If the rest of you can't meet that late, then I'll try my best to make it.

[Ktlplxm]

Later works better for those of us with a little further to drive

[99-LS1-SS]

Ktlplxm, you know you have to take me for a ride in your car....don't you....:D

[esinger]

Okay, So Aug 15th at 5:00 PM seems to be working for everyone. Now all we have to do is pick the place. Some place off I-40 probably would be best. There's plenty of places on High Point Rd and Wendover Ave.

Sounds like you guys are gonna have some fun. I have to drive my daughter to Farleigh Dickinson University on Aug 15th for an open house. I hope she picks somewhere else to go to college. Tuition is $41K a year.

BTW that radio station "The BUZZ" kicks ass. I listen to it on the internet at work everyday.

[99-LS1-SS]

I live about 5 miniutes from 40 and Wendover. But I'll meet at High Point Rd too. Maybe the meet at Four Seasons Mall? Are we just going to hang out or what? I've never been to a "meet" so I don't know the protocol.

[Ktlplxm]

Ktlplxm, you know you have to take me for a ride in your car....don't you....:D

Oh, you aren't missing out on anything... I have an economical engine...27mpg,,, it cannot be that impressive... quite docile in fact lol

[99-LS1-SS]

I'm pretty sure 500+ rwhp doesn't qualify as "docile".

FYI Suit and Tie is required

Good, I'll bring my Grey Poupon too. :D

Oh...you'd be surprised. A few friends were in it the other night, around 2am. Decided to prove to a "non-believer" how smooth the car was pulling and driving at 165 lol Could have sworn we were doing 70... nice and easy
The 2.92 are great for things like that

I don't think I've worn a suit and since my wedding... :wacko:

hmm, would you hate me if I swapped keys with you and hope that you took home my car instead? I wonder how far you'd get before you notice that something wasn't quite right? I mean, both cars ARE the same color! ;)

He gets better mileage than me.

That's why I have to get them this fall. I'll sell you my Camaro SS rims and DRs
if you want them.

[esinger]

I thought Penguin suits would be more appropriate :bleh:

Here's some possible places I can think of.

Chili's on High Point Rd.
Outback Steakhouse at 4 Seasons Mall.
Moe's Southwest Grill off Wendover Ave.
Shane's Rib Shack off Wendover Ave.

Those are some of the places I can think of with plenty of parking. Post other places you guys can think of and we'll have a poll.

[polo]

I've never done more in Greensboro than drive through it on my way to Raleigh, so I don't know anywhere to meet. Wherever you all decide is fine with me.

Let's do Shane's Rib Shack. I think we'll have a decent amount of room in that parking lot. The mall area get's pretty rough on weekend nights.

[esinger]

I'm all over some Shane's BBQ! There's plenty of parking and it's not very far off I40.

I'll create another thread and we'll make it there at 5:00 PM on Satuday the 15th.

[99-LS1-SS]

Works for me.

[99-LS1-SS]

Reminder bump.

[white lightning]

Hi folks, I guess I joined GRRRR8 at the right time. I live in Oak Ridge. I'll be there if it's ok. I'd like to meet some people who appreciate what great cars we have.

[polo]

Awesome! See you guys there

[esinger]

There's always Harpers II car wash, just down the road:boobs:

[polo]

I've got to work tomorrow until 2, so hopefully I have time to clean mine!

naked girls= good
naked girls + soapy water = really good
naked girls + soapy water + my vehicle = cold day in hell

[esinger]

Yeah, I'm the only one that washes my car too.

[white lightning]

I'm at the beach right now so I'm not sure if I'll time to wash it. It's been in the garage at home all week, but it needed to be washed before we left.

[polo]

I'm getting up tomorrow morning before work to wash my car. I have to be at work at 8, so I'll need to start washing around 6. I may have to take a nap after dinner! :)

[Ktlplxm]

Its been dreary down here all morning, how is the weather that way?

[polo]

Here is Charlotte it's beautiful, don't know about G-boro though

[99-LS1-SS]

It's been off and on cloudy. I got to wash my car this morning without roasting in the heat. I think it will be a decent day as long as we don't get any pop up thunder storms.

[Ktlplxm]

where in charlotte are you?

[polo]

I work at the corner of Monroe Rd. and Wendover Rd. (at the Oakhurst Grill which is owned by my parents) , but I live in Concord near Lowe's Motor Speedway. I just got home from work like 2 minutes ago, and it's still sunny out! I was able to wash the car before work, so now I just need to touch it up a little bit.

[polo]

I'm heading that way now... see you all in a bit.

Ktlplxm,
I just read that you live somewhere south of Charlotte, so if you pass a slow red G8 on your way, it's probably me!

[polo]

It was nice meeting you guys, and seeing some more G8s! I'm uploading my pics now, and will post the link when they get done.

[99-LS1-SS]

Cool! It was good to put faces with screen names and cars.

[polo]

Here you go... I didn't take many, but here's what I have:

[TheFANforRPM]

Terrific time. Awesome sight to see 9 G8s lined up next to each other in the parking lot representing all colors except for Burnt Orange and Burgundy.

Agreed with 99. Nice to associate faces with board Usernames.

Polo....awaiting pics! LOL

Hopefully we can do again in September in Asheboro or Concord area as we briefly discussed.

[white lightning]

Yeah I had a good time meeting everyone and learned alot about the G8. Since I took the long way home, it got dark and I had a chance to try the stealth mode. There is so much stuff these car can do it's amazing! I guess cars have come a long wat since my last new one in '02. LOL
