CANCELLED CRUISE 01/05/2019 New Date TBD

Hello All,

Cancelled Due to Rain!! (again lol :[ )

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted up.

The first turn out was AMAZING! Thank you to all those who participated, it was wonderful meeting you all.

Looks like there's still more interest in people getting together to for cruises....So we have planned our very second cruise, the first one for 2019. Lets keep the momentum going & please check back here often if you're interested in joining future cruises. Please DM me or post in here if you want to plan a cruise, I will be more than happy to update this for you, even if I am unable to go.

- You can reach me text/call at (646) 3nine7- 3two4seven (this is a burner google voice number and can easily be deleted...)
- If wanted...DM me your numbers, i'll do same, jic you're running late, get lost, whatever etc...

- Please send future cruise routes you would like to do! We are all scattered everywhere and there are so many amazing canyons in NorCal with not enough time to explore them. Let's try and make it happen tho.

-This is open to EVERYONE in NorCal, We can adjust cruise dates/starting ending times etc to accommodate people who are coming from afar. No Z left behind & No NorCal canyon left un-cruised!

- Non-Z's Welcome, Bring your Friends!

I'm in! I would suggest the route to be

Start: San Mateo/Foster City
Through highway 92 -> skyline 35
Mid Point: Alices for a pit stop
End Point: Pescadero Beach Area (not the actual parking lot because its not low car friendly, but a side parking area that I always go to)

HA, you better be going, this is your cruise suggestion, haha.

Thanks, for the updated info. Edited the post to reflect it. Just gotta find a meet up spot in SM/FC area off 92.

This is a pretty good meet up spot, either this or the mcdonal trader joes parking lot in san mateo near 101/92

I'm in. That makes 3.

Alice's is a great drive. It's very busy on weekends, so I suggest a plan B, such as:

Old Port Lobster Shack

OR

Alpine Inn Bear Garden

Those alternatives are close by and the wait times, parking spaces, and food will be better (in my opinion) - whatever you guys want.

I have a few Z friends that have said yes/probably as well
thanks for the suggestions Bay_Area_Z!

another option since we could be driving towards highway 1, is the highway1 brewing company, mediocre food but on the way/parking spot and next to the scenic pch

Depends on the time I suppose. Either of those other options other than Alice’s open at 11/1130am vs Alice’s at 8am.

tentative plan

1. meet 9:30 at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Up...4d-122.3680699
2. cruise 35 to Alice's (people from south bay can meet us here at around 9:45-10am, I doubt we'll find a lot of parking there)
3. after meeting up with everyone cruse down 84 towards highway 1, then turn on to pescadero, and take pescadero down to highway 1. park at the parking lot beside pescadero beach (low car friendly) and chat/hangout for a bit.
4. cruise down highway 1 to highway 1 brewing company and hang out /eat there
5. disperse?

Sorry folks works been crazy. So confirmed for the 12/1 9am at Luckys in Hayward (hwy 880/92)???

Yes, if you want to start in the East Bay with me, or you are welcome to just meet on the other side of the bridge where the peninsula folks will be meeting. LMK

The map isn't working for me.

updated the map!

Will you all still want to go if it's raining?

Yes, will meet u 9am

I'm going either way. I invited a friend so we'll do some tandem drifts if nobody else shows :)

Will you have the tires in time?

I hope so. Going to call Vex Motorsports in SJ Monday to see if they can get it done. Or Mission Tires in Hayward.

Ya’ll got any other recommendations, it’s my second time buying a set+alignment for this car. I used Vex the first time.

I have a set of Hankook V12s. I like them. Others have commented about them.

Here's the official flyer for the cruise if it works for you:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/2AiAAh5PoBAowgBW7

I actually have the same on mine. Any reputable shop recommendations?

The flyer works, its cute. Thanks for making it, totally didn’t think of making one.

Costco is a good choice, but usually busy. Wheelworks will match any price and guarantee it 30 days after you buy it.

If you buy direct from Nissan, this is what they include with the tires: Mounting, Balancing, Installation, Disposal Fees, Road Hazard Coverage.

Getting two rear V12s + alignment from Nissan will cost $660.88

I looked into costco but they don’t carry hankooks, and I’d have to bug my parents to take me, as I bum off their membership lol, and it’s too short notice for that. . Nissan is a lot more expensive than the other spots so I was avoiding them. I had gotten all four & allignment for $950 at vex. I’ll check wheelworks again, I forgot why I didn’t go to them last time.

Thanks for all the tips and the quote.

$950 out the door? What tires?

Hankook Ventus v12. I’ll double check when I get home, but Vex just confirmed that on the phone as well. Yes, out the door, I believe it may have been in cash too, that’s likely why.

Just contacted mission tires in Hayward since Vex is backed up until next Monday, and a guy named JJ, just quoted me $408 for the two rear tires, just under $500 with alignment (did not say if that was cash price) Vex quoted me $550 cash. (Prices as of today).

Awe. He misquoted, wrong size... 245/35/19. It’s $542, bummed but no complaints. still the cheapest I’ve found...

so who do we have confirmed here? i have about 3-4 friends coming outside of this forum

I’m mobbing solo. My estimated guess now is 7-10... but you never know.... super curious to see how this turns out.

looks like a bit of rain, careful everyone :)

The situation has changed. Those that were interested on my end aren't going if it rains.

Between you two and Casher, that's 4. The X FACTOR will be if it rains or not. Most people may decide based on that.

Is it possible to move the cruise to Sunday (Dec 2)? Forcast should be dry. I think turnout will be better and enjoyment will be greater.

darn, wish i saw this sooner. I bought tickets to a Crab Fest for Sunday at 2pm (with bottomless beer & mimosa's in Oakland, if ya'll wanna come to that on the second haha).

I'll meet up, but won't do the cruise, if you guys really want to change the date.

Majority vote decides?

I attached the forecast of the weekend for the area we would be cruising.

Crab Fest sounds interesting. Does it cost $75? This is the link I found.

Yes, I've looked at the forecast....So majority votes...

and yes that is the Crab Fest...its $81 after the fees etc.

a couple of my friends prefer sunday as well but said they will go to either since they dont mind that much

xoxOnaisa, do you have time Sunday morning (before the crab fest) to meet up? We could all meet up at 9am and split at 1pm? That gives us 4 hours.

yaoxiao4 can do either Sat or Sun.

Casher?

I can do Sat or Sun but prefer Sunday. I'd like the windows down so I hear the symphony of exhausts.

I think that's it as far as forum members go, 4 of us.

should we do Sunday then? we can just meet up earlier if anything

I'd have to be back in the East Bay by noon. I also have (now)tentative Saturday night plans (person got sick) that will more than likely hinder waking up early on Sunday.

I understand Sunday is definitely the better option due to weather, and I don't mind sitting this one out. I just have a set weekend schedule.

If you can manage it, Sunday makes more sense. Same plan.

I think Casher and you live near me (San Leandro)? Maybe we can meet somewhere so we can cross the bridge at the same time. If that works for you, send me an address to meet you.

will pm you
