View Full Version : Pittsburgh area meet... again...
cornrowdpantha 06-30-2006, 09:45 AM OK...
The last meet that we had planned was a total failure, so would anyone be interested in trying again? If so, lets get some suggestions for when and where and an idea of the # of peopole that will actually be in attendance.
I've been seeing a TON of 8s when I drive thru oakland (Ive seen a ti grey one w/ kit on more than one occassion driven by an early 20ish looking asian guy, and a shinka plus 2 or 3 red ones, :mad: and people I know have reported seeing a few WBs :mad: ...). So we need to make an attempt at least one more time...

I'm listening... I drive my VR from Beaver County down R65, and through downtown right quick to get down Second Ave, to where I work...(just past the 10th St. Bridge)
Pick a weekend, and I'll do my best!
Cool-Blue-Dad 07-03-2006, 10:38 AM Bump
You must see MotherGoose and Darkrose around from time to time. They're from your area.......
StewyRX8 07-03-2006, 03:47 PM I am pretty sure the shinka you see in oakland is mine, I am down there a lot. I do see a good number of 8s down that way. I will do my best as well.
cornrowdpantha 07-03-2006, 09:28 PM cool... date? time? place?
gambit27 07-03-2006, 10:18 PM i'm in
nu2rx8 07-04-2006, 11:03 AM Been seeing more 8's around S-Side as well so maybe they'll come in. Sorry I couldn't make the last one there was way too much going on. I will try to attend the next one.
Hey C-B-D I was just up in that Corning locale for the first time a couple of weeks ago...Good scenery and lots of good vino!!!
StewyRX8 07-05-2006, 04:03 PM Anybody have a preference on dates?
cornrowdpantha 07-06-2006, 10:24 AM A saturday night would probably be best for me... anytime soon...
How does next weekend (7/15) sound to everyone? I'd say this weekend, but I figure we should probably give as much notice as possible...
nu2rx8 07-07-2006, 09:22 PM The 15th still seems a little close but it may work for me...I'll stay tuned
cornrowdpantha 07-11-2006, 01:00 PM well, we've still not heard back from anyone with a suggested place, time, date, etc...
does that mean that the interest is scarce?
StewyRX8 07-13-2006, 12:09 AM Seems like there almost no interest in this. :(
cornrowdpantha 07-13-2006, 11:45 AM stewy I must agree... maybe we should relocate east or south... the NJ/eastern PA guys seem really active...
I think it bites that we can't get a meet organized...
StewyRX8 07-13-2006, 03:13 PM Yeah, nothing you can do about it and those other meets are about 4 hours away from here.
On a side note (And flame me if you want because I deserve it for going), Is anyone going to Import Fusion in Pittsburgh on August 12th? Just Curious.
cornrowdpantha 07-13-2006, 04:43 PM I'll probably go...
A few years ago, one of my best friends won 96.1's "freak my ride" contest and had his car customized by Team Nutz Technology (the bright orange CRX on their website...). The event seems to be pretty decent, but some of the cars are super horrid...
Apart from all else, it's always fun to go see some of the POS's that people like to show of... :p:
StewyRX8 07-13-2006, 11:42 PM Yeah, There are some TERRIBLE rides there, but it is still fun going. Glad to see im not the only one.
StewyRX8 07-18-2006, 01:18 AM So Pittsburgh, do we have any interest in a meet at all or should we give up all together. The weather is great for a meet, hate to pass it up.
NVMYGT 07-18-2006, 08:48 AM If I'm in town I would love to head down to the Import Fusion car show. I just took a new position within my company and will be travelling quite a lot, that's why I've been quiet. If you guys pick a meet date then I'll be able to let you know or not come August (when I get my schedule).
Anyone head down to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this weekend? Absolutely awesome. Can't wait for next year.
cornrowdpantha 07-18-2006, 01:11 PM I don't know what to do about the apparent total lack of interest here...
I'd suggest we hook up with the rx7 guys as I've heard their relatively active, but I'd hate to get that "red-headed-bastard-stepchild-at-the-dinner-table" feeling that I suspect I'd get...
But you are absolutely correct about the weather, so we have to do SOMETHING!!!
StewyRX8 07-20-2006, 03:33 AM Not that this has anything to do with a meet, but have you guys noticed how messed up our roads are getting. I know they are bad, but it is getting out of control. I feel like I need an alignment on my car after only putting 8k on it. Any feelings?
cornrowdpantha 07-20-2006, 12:48 PM I drive to beaver (from edgewood) everyday and I pretty much run the gauntlet... I agree with u on surface streets, but 376 and 279 are ok...
StewyRX8 07-20-2006, 06:30 PM I cannot stand some parts of 376, some of them are really bad.
gambit27 07-20-2006, 07:58 PM i'm still in...
love,
gambit
nu2rx8 07-21-2006, 09:44 AM Yeah, some of the back roads have been butchered latley. A trip down Streets Run used to be like a lap at the old Hockenheim Ring now it's more like a Supermotard heat on four wheels. 79 S toward Bridgeville ain't too bad for a straight line run.
cornrowdpantha 07-24-2006, 01:02 PM OK people, how bout we get together some night this weekend down at the strip district?
I was down there on saturday taking pics of my ride (my boy is a photographer, and some of those pics will be up later today...), and about 5 or 6 hondas from the Pittspeed.com forums came rollin up and parked FnF style (but it took them like 3 mins to get parked... non-parkin MoFo's). Anyway, I thought it would be cool to have a mob of 8s down there...
thoughts?
cornrowdpantha 07-24-2006, 09:34 PM btw, here's the link to my pic thread

StewyRX8 07-25-2006, 10:28 PM Nice pictures cornrow! That guy was right about Mount Washingont Pics.
cornrowdpantha 07-26-2006, 05:47 PM Thanks stewy...
Does no one (other than Stewy) consistantly respond to the posts in this thread? Is anyone gonna give feedback regarding a meet, or rolling thru the strip one night (which I guess would qualify as a meet....)?!?!
StewyRX8 07-27-2006, 02:30 PM Yeah, it would seem kinda gay if two dudes meant up and hung out...
StewyRX8 07-31-2006, 12:20 AM ahhhhh, we slip down again... I'm done trying to swindle interest in a meet.
cornrowdpantha 08-01-2006, 02:55 PM yeah... I'm dumbfounded...
gambit27 08-01-2006, 06:03 PM I'm still here....
love,
gambit
cornrowdpantha 08-02-2006, 11:08 AM Aight... gambit and stewy, when is a good time/date/place for the 2 of u? maybe if we take the initiative here, we can coersively convince others to participate...
StewyRX8 08-02-2006, 08:22 PM I will be outta town until August 14th, but most any other time after that should be good.
seymore15074 08-03-2006, 12:03 AM Sorry guys, I only drop in once and a while. chad.moore8@verizon.net is my e-mail, drop me a line if you guys set something up and you don't hear from me...
gambit27 08-05-2006, 09:37 PM i'm free every night this week
cornrowdpantha 08-10-2006, 03:19 PM Who all is goin to import fusion this weekend?

hey dont get discouraged. To make sure you have a good meet, not to be rude but you gotta babysit ppl. Posting up directions, contact info, and pretty much annoy the shit outta them. hey looked it worked for me in NY
My first car meet had 7 cars, 20 said were going to come. So far my last meet had 44 cars (RX-7's).
Now i joined the RX-8 club to get the rx8 guys out to a meet and my next meet this sunday is gonna have bout 5 RX-8's. So if u check out this section u see all my posts lol pumping and promoting the club and our meets
