Guest m35514h Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 We need a car meet, just to show up and meet each other. I know there are quite a few in the Dallas area, and I have met a few. There is a weekly car meet in plano at the circuit city at 75&Parker. It would be very cool if we could all meet up and show off our installs, and show how cool we are to all the other car enthusiasts. It happens on mondays around 9:30-12 so if you want to get rid of your case of the mondays come on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMS Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 If you are a real Eantrapeneur and a Hot Promoter, I dare you to start such an annual meet in Las Vegas! Why's that? M, I'd love to meet some of the other Dallas area Z owners, but Monday night is a school night for me. We should get a BBQ together. Whaddya think?

RPMS Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Okay, who wants to host? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 If you really want to show off: Christian Classic Cruisers is hosting a Cruise at North Hills Mall in NE Fort Worth on Saturday, July 19th. It has a class for Z cars. The Cowtown Z Club is going to show up with a bunch of cars and I am planning on being there. There should be in the neighborhood of 200 cars from several different clubs entered which means probably 350-500 people. They also have an "under construction" category so even Spotfitz could enter. (Sorry Spot, just couldn't resist!) If you opt for this there is no work for anyone to do except show up and show off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 That sounds cool - When are folks gathering? I've got a previous engagement later in the day up in the Plano area, so I hope the Z folks meet early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Oops. I'm not positive yet but I think the show runs from around 4:00 PM to about 8:00 PM. That may conflict with your plans Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 *sigh* Don't they always conflict? I'm no social butterfly - usually I've got NOTHING going on all weekend. But when it rains, it pours. HOWEVER. I might be able to show up on the tail end of things. Say, from 5-8pm, or something. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 That would probably still be in time to enter. They usually run registration for about the first 1 1/2 hours, judge for 2 hours and then give out awards for about 1/2 - 1 hour. Even if you don't get there in time to enter the show you can still park in the "Z" area and hang-out. You just won't have an entry number and will be a "phantom".

RPMS Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 a "Phantom"? Is that where you got your handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I see, poke at the guy with the dead bodies under the Z holding wrenches. Wait, you didn't make that car show did you Phantom I may not be able to make this one. I am not sure about when my Z will be going into paint jail just yet. I may put it off for another month just for this event though. All depends on the money. We'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Careful Spot - I made the car show - but my car didn't. Seems to be my life story - all work and no play. Seems to be a conspiracy afoot. Ever since I got the LS1 on the road all the playtoys have stayed out of sight. couldn't even get a C-5 going this morning. He hid from me.

spotfitz Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Well, it looks like I will NOT be making this event with my Z, but I will hang out. I already started taking my Z apart for paint jail. All I have left to pull is the motor/tranny, everything out of the engine bay, front bumper and lights. I sure hope I have all the gaskets I need from MSA. Got to love carb'ed cars at times like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotfitz Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Ok, I have some vacation time coming up, so I'll see what I can figure out on the costs. Roughly 19 hours, 1160 miles one way from Ft.Worth to Cleveland. Thats a trip, especially considering one would have to drive back. So, lets figure 4 days, or 3 very long days round trip, plus gas in a truck pulling a flat bed/car hauler. So, about 12-14 mpg(with a very good truck), making it 167 gallons, if you went with 14mpg at a cost of roughly 1.65 per gallon=$274 excluding tax. Now lets figure in the food. We'll go with 3 days, since there really isn't anything to look at between here and there . I don't normally eat breakfast so, $15-19 a day for both lunch and dinner w/snacks. That comes to $51 dollars for an average for all 3 days. We are now at $325. Now if you are flying down, a one way ticket from Cleveland to D/FW is just under a 4 1/2 hour a.m. flight one-stop for about $230 from most of the webfare searchers. We won't even figure the short trip to the airport to pick you up. You're already at $555 and the above food average was for just one person both ways. Go ahead and say an even $600 because we will need lots of deodorant since we'll be sleeping in the truck for 1 night on the way up. If you didn't fly down then it would save money, but we haven't even started to consider how much $ you would need to give someone to go in on this 3 day road trip. I think we would be almost back where we just were. I am in no way trying to talk you into getting a freight delivery and in no way trying to talk someone out of helping you out here, but most freight services are pretty good with there prices, as I have tried to point out for you. I was actually considering going for it with some vacation time I have left, but I guess I'll leave that for you to decide. Just out of curiosity, what was the price quote for freight?

How 'bout it, D/FW guys? Should we gang up and show up at his door with cases of beer and pizza? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Along with the beer(I'll supply the pizza ) bring all the extra new gaskets you have and I'll see if I need any of them. About time I got my Z painted, huh Scott! I may need help getting my Z on the car hauler though. hint, hint. Thats one of the reasons the brakes will still work until I get it to paint jail.
