Atlanta Wake up!

jadeb0x · 07-07-2010, 05:51 AM

when the 350z first came out, i was living in orlando and my friend picked one up. they would have bi-weekly meets at some parking lot in the evening, and then just cruise around town. i wouldn't be surprised if to this day they still do something like this.

monday night at andretti's where the races are 1/2 price is still overpriced?

starbucks is a venue that is open late if we so happen to end up hanging around til the later hours... and they do serve non-caffeinated drinks.

hooters, wing house, fridays, taco mac... all the same to me... but again, places open late... and it is not required for you to drink alcohol to attend.

i'll go to brusters for some ice cream, or do what the local kids do and meet up at a sonic's somewhere.

point is, to have a central spot to meet so that word can spread and other owners may so happened to come across it, and if they can't make it the first time, then they could come the following week or the next. almost like how it's known that every first thursday of the month the varsity meet happens, every first sunday of the month is the cars and coffee meet at the avenues of roswell, every saturday at barrett parkway and on pleasant hill is the locals meet, every thursday at the BP on pleasant hill is the motorcycle meet, etc...

If everyone wants to meet at a place like that I'll swing by sometimes, but I'd prefer to meet somewhere where we can install stuff, chat about parts, check out shop cars, etc, versus just sitting at a Sonic or Starbucks for 5 hours. Besides, sooner or later you draw the attention of the police by gathering and those local kids run you out. Seen it too many times in the past that I cannot even count.

Again, we're talking a monthly meet, not daily, so the drive wont bother me a bit.

We need some input from someone besides myself and Jadebox about this, what does everyone else want to do?

I'm not too thrilled about hanging out outside of a restaurant. I'd be willing to stop by occasionally to say hello to the guys. My preference is to meet at a location where we're not going to draw negative attention, can learn more about our cars, and have to options to get things done on our cars if we choose to.

One of my main reason for suggesting Z1 is because they are open from 9:00am-6:00pm on Saturdays. This allows us to run our errands and gives us a larger window of time to gather.
