any one up for one?....its getting cold and i know a few of us are getting our winter beaters ready but i think we should have at least one last big one.....the last throw together meet we had in paramus was pretty successful in my opinion and i think we could throw down at least one more before the big hibernation begins....whos in??

Transam kid 01

Which side of GSP is it?

at the garden state plaza mall

You mean here?

One Garden State Plaza, Paramus, NJ, 07652
Westfield Garden State Plaza is conveniently located at the intersections of Rt. 4 & Rt. 17 and off Exits 160 & 163(Route 17 South) from the Garden State Parkway in Paramus, NJ.

If I have my `8 back from the body shop I'd love to drive out. Mapquest says 245 miles (4 hours, 11 minutes). Sounds like a fun welcome-back tour for my baby after a two-week face-lift.

Sorry...i used to live there and we always called it GSP lol...which side of it cuz its a giant mall

So no more Trans AM or did you keep it? My father has an '02 Camaro Z28 with some parts on it and that thing it a rocket. I love the F-bodies and the LS engine series. So sad to see them go... I may not have been an 8 owner, had they come out with a 4th gen! (...and if I could have afforded the $9000/yr insurance it would cost a 21yo male to own one in NNJ, lol)

I'm going to have to cancel this time. I just heard I won't have my car back for the weekend. I would be cool to meet other forum members, but I don't want to be the dude who shows up in the rented slate blue celica. 20 days in the body shop and counting - I'm getting really sick of this Celica.

Blackwing intake (#), K&N filter, SLP MAS, SLP smooth bellows, SLP ceramic coated shorties, (we had long tubes w/ mass flow cats and 3in y-pipe but it couldn't pass emissions), and Diablo Tools (#) retune.

Oh and it's a late '02 so it has an LS-6 block and LS-6 intake manifold.

How about same time, same place? (I held back on making a crude allusion to the old Batman show...) Weather looks good so far.

Though as I write this I'm remembering that I have to be in Newerk at some point that afternoon. I can probably at least stop by. Not much to see on my car anyway, unless you're thinking of getting the REVi.

Sorry, I feel bad that I couldn't go now. Maybe I'll try to throw one together early next year. Last time I organized a mini-meet did we ended up with about 12 or 13 cars I think it was. Lol J/k, it was just pure luck and not a reflection on me or you, Chris. It was also summer which I'm sure helped.

damn i wish i had those snow tires dude...i got caught in 3 inches at the top of my girls street...eventually after litereally 20 mins...i got out...then went the other way...saw another huuge patch....floored it through there...and i was freaking floating over it :Eyecrazy: i was steering to keep control and the wheel felt so easy to turn....im not gunna lie...it was a lot of fun :ylsuper: lol

anyway...although the turnout wasnt good...the meet was still awesome...and thanks for teaching me all about these things....it helped a lot...see you at the next meet
