we can also turn events into meets btw.

things at road atlanta.
hell a drivein moviie theater! with like 25 z's parked across lol

btw Thanks to Z1 & Forged. We Atlanta folks are lucky to have these guys that are reknown and willing to help us out! lets take advantage of this (in the good way!)

I'm down with Z1 or if we want to meet between I-75 and I-85 thats good too. Should be half way for most people in either Gwinnett, Marietta, or elsewhere. Weekends are best too, to avoid traffic issues.

when im out of work i'll take a loot at some dates and start a poll or something more specific.

There is another thread going for detailing with Alex, (the Genesis dude) so we can ask him to come againf or the pre-zcon meet to prep cars.

again, we are all lucky to have alot of support here in atlanta, lets make sure to use it and support them as well.

I'm down for a cruise aswell. Gives me an excuse to take the 370Z out.

now that's what i'm talking about, i'll join you guys the next time!

just putting my opinion out there... but there seems to be a lot of favoritism in this regional forum... and it's a little "turn-offish". try to take it back a little and have meets like most other owner's clubs i've been apart of... never did i find it so difficult to just meet with other owners of the same car that i have. i thought it was pretty 'normal' to have parking lot meets in the evening and then get something to eat... at least that's how i was with nasioc.com, rs25.com, scionlife.com, nsxprime.com, etc...

i don't know what negativity is brought upon us if we have a meet at a restaurant or coffee shop... if we're paying customers and we're not doing any illegal burnouts in the parking lot... what's the problem?? i always go eat with my friends, and we all have nice cars, are we forced to leave an establishment just because we've gathered together at one spot? to me, the excuses to not have a 'parking lot' meet are ridiculous... look at the 350Z/G35 group... they've been doing it for yearss... i've known about their meet even before the 370Z came out... why not do the same for the 370Z/G37?

and yes, a central location is the perimeter for everyone... not 28 miles west of the perimeter.... that is unless you want to be central to Alabama owners as well...

as for parts and where i do my installs... i shop around and get the best deal... and i support those who help me out.

I think we should just do w.e. every month. go to forged one month. next go to z1. then d and b. then ..... Who cares if you gotta drive a little bit more than you want to. and traffic. i drive in traffic everyday so idc if im in traffic cause im used to it.

hey everyone just as an added note, yeah theres some favoratism etc. so lets all just discuss this openly.

I had an idea i wanted to share and see if people like. please give it some thought.

Lets pick a date. every 3rd saturday, every 2nd sunday or something.

We can meet up at around 10-am to 11am at perimeter. Perimeter is central. No one has to drive more than an hour (except Augusta guys sorry!) we can hang around for a bit inthe parking lot then go in grab som grub somewhere.

BUT thats not the entire thing. from there we can plan additional events. Such as going to Z1 or Forged. Going to D&B. Or just going for a cruise someplace, going to a place to grab good photos etc. Those who can or want to go for it can go, others can dip after the food etc.

I think the idea is a decent compromise and / or also flexible.

Now again, a monthly meet guys doesnt mean we cant organize a group to go to Caffeine and Octane, or other events that occur. Flexibility, again, is always good.

Any thoughts? addons just post them up.

EDIT: Also this way at the very least, the 370z's will get together and discuss our cars, changes, learn something new.

I've never undrstood why the meet up was there. The traffic and harsh parking rules and lack of parking. It also isn't a low rider friendly area. The best road quality is in N.W. Atl area. This is why random meeting places that change would be nice. I tried to get to this meet once and the lot was full of traffic, speed bumps, no parking signs and no empty spots. Of course it was later I found out it was held in a parking structure. :rolleyes:

so, where and when is the next meet?

well zon is July 28 to August 1st. FOr those attending i would suggest a meet to prep the cars.

(I won't be there)

but for August we still need to figure out.

People need to chime in on what weekends are best normally and sat or sunday.

IMHO, since August is more than 3 weeks away, I think we should meet before August. Right now, everyone is excited about our next meet so I think we should take advantage off that before it sizzles down.

July 17 - Forged Dyno Day
Weekend of July 24 is open
July 28 - August 1 - ZCon
August 5 - Varsity Meet
August 8 - Caffeine and Octane

July 15 - I'm going with my brother to the NSXPrime meet in Cobb County, in case anyone else wanted to crash their party with me! ;)

in reference to an above post: i'd vote on a 2nd sat/sun of the month for a regular meet. so that would give the varsity&CO the first weekend, 370z the second weekend, 350z the third weekend, and whatever else is open for the end of the month...

Augusta is so far away! Ugh. I get to watch all the NC ppl, Florida ppl, and atl ppl have fun while I sit in the middle.

If a group of the guys are willing to caravan to Augusta, I'm definitely down for that. You would just have to find a spot for all of us to hang out for a day when we get there. I don't think it's an unreasonable drive.

What do people think?:driving:
