Pittsburgh area meet... again...
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,
and people I know have reported seeing a few WBs ...). So we need to make an attempt at least one more time...

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!!!

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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!!!

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?

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...

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.

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 ****'s). Anyway, I thought it would be cool to have a mob of 8s down there...
thoughts?
