Anyone want to get a meet going? Would be cool to get something going and do some runs at Milian dragway. Just trying to see if there is some interest. Feel free to throw out some ideas or something.




Update!!! Pictures of the meet!!!

Assuming I'm available when it happens, I'm in. If it's around here, maybe we could even talk the local tuner (VMS) to show up and sell tunes - might help some people could kill two birds with one stone.

We'd be happy to host a meet here at the shop, so far this summer we've done one for our Corvette and TBSS customers so why not G8 :)

I would definitely like to get the HSRK put on at meet (if it's okay). And maybe someone will be there that has done the GRRRR8 "Cold Air / Panel" Mod, so I can see what it looks like. Maybe I'll have it done by then.

Has there been any pictures posted of this?


Thanks!

I hope to make it if my car isn't in the shop getting painted. I was in the 25 cent car wash last Sunday and the wind ripped a strip of alum. siding off the carwash and managed to scratch the **** out of my car. 2 days later I was driving up I-75 when a chunk of semi tire flew up from the car in front of me and hit my hood and front 1/4 panel.

If it wasn't for bad luck....

Dear God which car wash was this?!

One in Waterford on Dixie hwy. The only cool part is the manager actually saw it happen and said get it fixed, no questions asked. The trunk will probably have to be repainted.

My wife was helping me wash the car so I'm glad she wasn't hurt.

The truck tire marks pretty much washed off with a few minor scratches. Oh well, it's only a car. A very fine car IMO, but still just a car. Time for a beer. :drink:

It's really a long week for me on top of it. I'm in Cleveland all week then have a 5 hour drive home on Friday. Turn around at 6 am on Saturday for Michigan? I won't even have time to detail my car.

You guys should head to Milan MI after the G8 get together, it's less than an hour away. Doors open at 4:00 for basically an all night test and tune (lasted until 2:00 am last year) along with a car show and bikini contest. They dim the lights to give the appearance of street racing but you still get your time slips. You'll have to check Milan's website for more details.

Many thanks to Kirk, Chris and Joyce for hosting a great get-together at their facility on Saturday. Really had a good time meeting the other members of this site.
