Found our next meeting event!!

Check out this website: http://www.mccofcincinnati.com/location.html

..my dad and his company went to this place and thought it was crazy fun!

Its competitive go-cart racing..its not like that little girly **** that Steve and I went to a few weekends back. Speeds can reach up to 80+mph..

Just check out the site and let me know what you all think of this..I seriously think we all should consider it pretty heavily..

Just give it a thought and post your comments..

If we do go to the go karting place..we need people to confirm on a date and stick with it and not backout. Since its a set price that can include alot of things that will make our time there priceless!

jeff you know i am always down for crashing against walls and hurting my self driving high speed go karts

isnt this place out door? maybe we should wait for the weather to warm up?

what happened to the decarbon idea?

I thought maybe we can have the meet by the end of march or april (the 22nd, 29th, 5th, 12th or 19th). maybe meet up to decarbon the cars, then head over to devou park and grill out like the last meet and finish it with a long cruise.
and for those who want to spend some extra money go to the gokarts track.

what do you think?

Good to know you are getting ready to graduate.
my friends boyfriend plays or played with you, his name was dustin or justin (kind of shaggy hair), he is the one that told me you were not playing anymore when i told him i knew you.

the expo is in downtown at the duke convention center, it costs $7 to get in if you buy the tickts at kroger.

i would like to see the new camaro and the genesis in person to see if they are as good as they seem on paper haha

I say we should have a de-carbon meet, then grill out and go on a long cruise as the first meet of the year. Then the next meet..sometime during the summer we should go to the go-kart place that I had mentioned a few posts back.

Yeh, I'm going to the auto expo too, but I don't know if I'm going on Saturday or Sunday. I am really interested in the Genesis as well. I also want to see a 370Z 'cause in pictures they look really ugly, but I want to see one for myself. Plus sitting in a 911 is also fun.

I would be interested in a meet on either of those days in March. I should be more social, I haven't come to a meet since last spring, lol. I never work on Sundays so I could make it on either day.

fill me in on the aspects of a "de-carbon" meet :]


but i might be at the autoexpo, i also want a look at the 370Z


and i will laugh at hyundai's attempt at a v-8, since you know the v-6 wasnt bad enough.

PS
RACING BEAT lowering springs and sway bars are mine here soon, along with some other goodies that im keeping secret.

Hopefully see you guys and the NEW 1.6 rotary engine at the mazda booth.

the current 4 door hyundai genesis v8 is out and it appears as good as they said it would be... however its too soon to tell if it is an actual reliable powerplant or it is just another hyundai engine. What do you guys think of this whole hyundai assurance program? I`m sure there is a catch somewhere....

I will be getting something ready to advertise the meet (4/29) to all other mazda enthusiast around town. and ill see you guys at the car expo.

So one of my friend called me out of the blue to invite me to come to the auto show for free today (Saturday) he had extra tickets.
I am sorry I will not be there Sunday at one
Here are some highlights of the show
Lets start with the camaro; I was kind of upset they had the car fenced out, so I didn’t get to sit in it.
The car is all I thought it would be, I liked it a lot. Chevy did a great job with this one.


Another car that looks soooooo much better in person is the SKY turbo.

And of course the ZR1 (I did not like that glass hood)

The 370z does look a lot better in person however I did not like it. That’s me. It looks very small and weird.
The interior of the car is amazing though, sooo much better than the 8, I was very impressed.
And the engine looks pretty good. This car is prolly going to be THE car of 2009 no questions asked.






2010 Mustang (better than the older model but I still don’t like it)

Meredith liked the miata

And the R3…. I like the new looks but I hate the back lights… they look like the target symbol. Also the r3 seat look nice but feel like crap.


140k R8.. anyone?


2010 H genisis coupe
The car is simply amazing. The car seem to be like great win for Hyundai. My only concern is that there will be so many in the road that it will lose all that appeal.






And this is todays worst Car!
Dodge challenger, what a peace of S**t…. it looks cheap, and heavy. The interior is worst than a chevy aveo… what a big disappointment for 32k sticker price.

For those of you guys that are going Sunday.. take a bunch of pics and post them up.
I would like to hear what your impressions are….
To me the best car of the day goes to the Genesis for the looks, price, and quality.

yea dont let those guys get to you.....for some reason import ppl hate our cars...most of them have never driven one....but even IF it was slow and yada yada...look at the damn thing..its beautifull...and you cant get a more exotic looking/feeling car for the money....every day when i park it and walk into work I turn around about midway and think...who could not like that car....


oh and guys Id definatly be down for the de carbon meet and the go karts...i need to check this site more so i dont miss ****

The Genesis looked like crap and same with the new Z. Everything looked cheap looking there and nothing really caught my eye except for the Maseratis.

So the 29th is the next meet? People bring your own Sea Foam so we can clean out our engines.
