SoCal End of the Year Meet (Dec. 12)

[el_blacky06]

im a first timer going to a nissan meet so how is it when we all meet up? any drives like lets say canyon drives? im used to going to evo meets datz why so just curious

[Rob.Vegan]

This is just a meet / bbq.

We (LA/OC and surrounding areas members) are meeting at Stillen and then driving down to San Diego together. Once there we will mosey around and look at the cars (check out new mods, or future mods you plan on getting etc), then cook up some food, eat. Mosey around a bit more. Then when you feel the need you can drive home.

[ESP]

Unfortunately Mr. Vegan, I won’t be able to make it to the Meet.. Trust me, I tried (baby-sit, wife is working) but I will be meeting ESP prior so he can pick up his new toy.. Since I already agreed to bring chips, I’ll buy them and ask ESP if maybe he can drop them off for me. So I’ll get Doritos, Lays and other type or I can also ask my buddy elmz370 to drop some off for me.

Yup, I can bring whatever you hand off to me!

BlackNWhite is right...we should leave Stillen relatively early. Also, what route is everyone planning on taking to get to San Diego? opekone_1988 and I are hoping to meet somewhere just off 5-South so I can get the exhaust from him...

On a side note, I'm in San Francisco right now. We took the Redwood Highway from Grants Pass down to Crescent City while it was dark out...it was like a real life Need For Speed! Seriously though...we don't have roads like that up in Canada, and that makes me sad...so very sad......

[Rob.Vegan]

ESP, you should drive Lombard street while you're in San Francisco if you haven't already.

I was planning on taking the 405 south, until it hits the 5 south. And take that the rest of the way. The idea of using the toll road was thrown out but no one voted for or against it.

[louiebgt]

Goooooooooooooooo GAAAAAAAAAATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LONGHORNS!!!!

[Importroller]

I just noticed something, Does the start time say 4:30pm? Thats a lil late, it will be getting dark already.

[kyle@stillen]

Hey Guys,

The STILLEN/Adam's detailing clinic will be starting at 9 and will conclude around noon.

Look forward to seeing you all here!

Unfortunately the GT R suspension has been sent off to Penske for re-building and the Altima is locked up in the front lobby so I'm not sure yet what I'll be rolling down to the meet in. Maybe our new 370z? But, there really isn't anything cool done to it yet...

[Rob.Vegan]

So we will be leaving Stillen around 1 or 2, giving other members (not going to the detailing clinic) a chance to get there. We should be at the spot around 2 or 3

[trayharrell951]

i like it.

[rjdmmfl1]

i like it.

glad you like it.. as I mentioned, I wanted something that incorporated coupes and sedans in the name... I think this does it... it catches the eye, and make people wonder... "what the hell is that"

[KilaDragN]

its pouring like crazy here in SD, and it NEVER rains....on that note, its suppose to rain this coming weekend, from Thursday - Sunday. so you guys might wanna think of another meeting spot that's out of the rain....or get a spot by the gazebos or canopies......just a thought...

yeah, I'm gonna continue to follow the weather report... yesterday, it stated only a 10% chance of rain on for Saturday, Dec. 12th, today, it states 40% chance... those numbers will be updated everyday this week, I'll continue to check it and hopefully it will change...

[Mr.Coupe]

I just got off the phone with Tim at SFR. He told me that he hasn't got my transmission back from his friend who's an expert with transmissions. So there's a huge chance I might not go. I told Tim to get back to be ASAP if he will get my car done by Wednesday or Thursday. Can't be Friday because I have a contract for work that need to be done in Ventura county . I'll keep you guys posted weather if I'm going or not.

i strongly suggest that if you are spending this kind of cash on the transmission, just do a manual swap. The CVT isn't going to hold up for long under boost. There's a reason Nissan is offering an extended warranty on these trannies for free.

that's some bulls*** how long you've gone without your car... wait... oh yeah, are you still doing what we discussed last time regarding your transmission?

money's not really an object for Ricky.... but according to what i remember him saying about his transmission, this time, his TURBO will hold up... I'm 99% sure of it...

[Mr.Coupe]

Yeah they are still beefing up the transmission bruh, thru the way we discussed. Last part came in and Tim took the whole transmission to his friend last Thrusday.

Yeah with the mods Tim is doing to the transmission it's guaranteed to hold up. On the money part you're right bruh, but I want all you guys and gals to know that I consider myself a regular person. I was blessed with my company to be successful and make me millions of dollars annually, but I don't let that get to my head and make me a D**K. I live a simple life. I don't forget where I came from. I just say if we work hard making it then we might as well have fun with it right. "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKE RICKY MAD."

Ricky C.

[Rob.Vegan]

Well I'm sure we'd all still enjoy your company if you wanted to join us in the meet still Ricky. You can just bring your truck (or whatever it is you're driving now).

If you guys remember last year, it started sprinkling on our way down to San Diego. If we need to move locations, did you guys want to move totally or just another part of the park thing

Rob, all wethae reports indicate that that second storm is definitely goin to be here this weekend...

sucks that of the 4 weekends it rains during all of 2009, two of them are in December... if it rains this Sturday the way it was raining on Monday, I will not be going... its no point..

the best we may be able to do is move the meet over to the parking garage at Fashion Valley mall ... if its raining, then there's one garage that should be relatively empty... Obviously, the BBQ would not go through, but we can still have the meet at the mall, and maybe grab a bite to eat there....

[kyle@stillen]

Just for the record the STILLEN detailing clinic will be held indoors!!!

[ESP]

Nice!

What's the price of admission?

[Jose3.5]

Looks like I'm going to be late for the Detail clinic because I have to go to work that Saturday for a little while

[Rob.Vegan]

Doc, Will there be enough light in the parking garage ??? And do you think there will be enough parking for us ???

Maybe if it's raining too hard, we should reschedule til early next year, even though that would defeat the purpose of an end of the year meet

[Ucrpanama]

hey guys I just got word that my cousin is having a grad party and i dont usually attend many family functions anymore (long story), but i feel compelled to go so thats that. If anyone wants to pick up my cooler, pick up twenty bucks from me to grab the patties I promised im more than willing to help out. Im in Riverside and Ill drive a resonable distance to see to it that my part is taken care of. Sorry again I hope to make it to the next one.

I can't say for sure, but on a rainy day, one of the garages will definitely have a lot of room.. its the least ysed garage at fashion Valley... we may just have to play this one by ear, and caravan there if need be... its hard to describe exactly which garage it is...

**update** as of 4:06 pm on Tuesday, December 8th , it now states only a "30%" chance of a "few showers" on Thursday, friday and Sunday... Saturday is still at 40% chance, but again, "few showers" and "30%" are both downgrades from what was stated earlier this morning... so let's continue to watch this and see what happens

[BlackNWhite]

Man, how do we keep scheduling this meet on a weekend it rains?

Depending on how hard it's raining, or if it's raining at all will dictate if I go to this or not. I might just drive down there and go to like Pala or something.

Rob.V... I really think we need to leave Stillen by 12 at the latest.

[Rob.Vegan]

12 is fine with me, we just need to make sure everybody gets word of it so we don't leave anybody behind. And hopefully the detail clinic is over by then because it would be nice to have Kyle come down with us.

I'm sorry ESP, this was our chance to show you what beautiful weather you're missing but now it looks like we'll have clouds galore (at least), still not as bad as rains and snows from other parts of the world though

I can go pick up the cooler and cash monies, maybe on Thursday sometime. When are you free ???

[rjdmmfl1]

ok, so i just checked the weather channel, and its uo to 70% chance of rain on saturday...

so i think we should hold off on the food, we won't be able t BBQ in this kinf of weather... but maybe we can still meet up at the garage in fashion valley mall... if you guys don;t want to do that, then we need to postpone the meet, maybe until after christmas and make it a "1st of the year meet"

[ESP]

I'm sorry ESP, this was our chance to show you what beautiful weather you're missing but now it looks like we'll have clouds galore (at least), still not as bad as rains and snows from other parts of the world though

No worries! Seriously man, we've had nothing but GREAT weather thus far. The drive along the coastline was perfect! Besides, this is what I'm missing back home, so a little rain isn't going to dampen my spirits: http://www.calgaryherald.com/U....html
