anyone coming from around waxahachie to meet up?

ya i have the oil/filter i just need a place to do it and jacks etc...also why are you repainting your car...? didn't it just get painted?

>


Lets just say I was cheated and had to learn the hard way . an expensive way to learn, so now I need to have it done right. You'll see what I'm talking about at the meet.

If anyone wants to meet up with me, I'll be able to meet up at Freebirds (off of Oakmont by the Hulen Mall), most of you guys know where its at. From there I'm taking 20/360/183/161/635/75 or just take 20 all the way out to the outside of Dallas and run up 635. Both routes list close to the same as far as the "in traffic" listing. The first seems like alot to remember, so Im tempted to take the one that involves no toll roads and is just two highways. I'll send a txt out to you guys tomorrow as well as a early evening PM as a reminder.
Checked weather forecast again, 62...mostly cloudy. So get you Celica looking good....not a requirement though. But lets all try to get there!
Cant Wait!!

Yep, I'll definitely meet up with you there prior to rolling out. Just gimme a time and whatnot and I'll probably be there a little early too if the traffic isn't horrendous.

Yeah I forgot to post what time I'll be up there. I will be at Freebirds at 900. Hopefully arriving in Murphy around 11. If traffic is great maybe earlier.

UGH. That's all I have to say about what is going on.
I just got assigned two papers on due wednesday and one monday. AND I have a lab midterm on wednesday...I was planning on coming when it was just that but now that I have that and two papers...it's not gunna happen. mainly because I have the two papers and a final.

UGH not happy.
p.s.-both these papers were assigned today. bleh.
I am not happy. yes i know i am lame and sketchy for backing out at the absolute last second...i swear to god if this happens in the summer it's on like donkey kong.
apparently professors like to pile on the work right before spring break. i dunno. soooo dumb. not happy at all. ugh
anyway sorry again. sounds like this will be an excellent meet. take lots of pictures!
and please keep me updated on future ones...i really do want to go but gotta take school over celica.
have fun guys

Well, that just sucks! I understand the whole school thing though. And yeah there will be a meet sometime in the summer, probably a cruise (I can hope). But if by some odd chance you happen to make it out, do it!
I sent reminders to everyone else (cept 2B..cause its at his place), so let try for a decent turnout.

Got the food prepped. So hopefully we have a good turn out.
Thanks Spider for getting this gathering going.

My last post this night.
Really, the thanks goes to you for hosting this meet! I hope to get a good turn out at this one, and all the other meets for this year.

OK guys, today is the day. Hope to see you there. Im leaving now to get the celica cleaned up a bit and meet hazmat for a rollout. I'll be checking this before 9 one more time, so if you need my number (and dont have it) for some reason, PM me. BTW, a high of 67!

well got here at 2b's where r the rest of u?

Well that was a fun drive out and back! Really appreciate the food and letting us hang at your house 2b I enjoyed myself meeting new faces and seeing possibly the cleanest white celica I've ever seen *cough* Tino *Cough*

Definitely have to plan on something even bigger next time! Wtb pictures!

mobile post.......pics up soon.

VIDEOS





I had fun. Sucks that some couldn't make it out, hopefully the ones who couldn't make it this time will commit to the next meet. Again thanks to Spider for organizing the meet.

Had a great time, thanks for having us, and for the food. Can't wait for more of a showing, but either way its obvious that only a few of us draws attention. I didnt want to stop cruising, since it turned out to be so nice. Saw some great looking & sounding celi's today, cant leave out the g35 though, it looked fresh too.

I guarantee your neighbors are having a conversation about how horrible their dog's gas smells. Hahahaha

Alright, finally got these things loaded. 92 pics were taken from my end, and I uploaded 23.
First, I had a really good time at this meet. The food was great and the company even better. Thanks to those who did show (I know that some had other more pressing issues). It was good to meet new members, and older ones I haven't met yet. Props to 2BCelica who provided a place to host this. Thanks to Hazmat for driving out with me, even though traffic did suck on the way out (we did see that sweet Lude..and the Lotus as well). TinoCel, thanks for making our cars look like they really needed to be cleaned better . CandyRed, even though you dont have a Celica anymore, I still like your car.
Hopefully in the coming months we'll be able to get another meet going. I was thinking sometime in early June. As far as what to do Im always open for suggestions. I really want to do the turbine run, but not in the middle of summer, that'll be something for a fall meet (possibly). But that's a topic for another time.
Anyhow, on with the pics.
Hazmats Celica------>






2BCelicas Beams Swapped Celica----->



TinoCels Celica, which is by the way the cleanest white Celica I have ever seen------>




My Celica (Spider77) with the fresh dent from kids------->

Group Shots, because thats what it all really about!------>








Again, thanks for everyone who participated.For the no shows, you sure missed out! But it dosent have to be that way, make it out to the next one, meet these members, I assure they are all great guys. The more that show and get active the better the meets will be, we have a decent amount of people on here from the DFW, so it shouldn't be just a few of us getting together.

bahahaha why was the cop there?

Nah, I guess he was driving by and saw all of us with our cars lined up and came over. Then Hazmat got arrested and I crashed into a light pole......ok, not really. The cop was cool about the little photo shoot we were doing, Tino even got him to participate!

dang sucks i missed out but i found some carbon fiber cloth adidas i got today

man i regret not going so much but i had to go to illinois to see my sick grandma

Gotta do what you gotta do. Its alright, there will be another one soon enough. Not sure when yet, but soon.

OK.
So considering that the last meet we had, resulted in one of the best meets we've had in a while, lets keep the momentum rolling!

Now, Im planning the next meet to be sometime in early June. As we all know here in TX it gets hot during the summer. Im going to go scout some locations in Arlington this coming weekend. I know the last meet we had in Arlington was up at Bowman Springs/"The Parks" (BoneDaddys). Being that its going to be in the summer, Im going to look for a nice shady place with some cover.
I will post back what I find as far as locations and how we can work them out. If you guys want to meet at a park, then grill or something, let me know. Or if youd rather meet then go cruise, let me know. Again, I am just putting it together, but I really appreciate input from everyone. The reason why I am running with Arlington again is that its a central location for all of us. I really want to get a larger turnout this time (although last time was a nice size as well).
To those who missed the last meet. I understand that driving distance can be a pain, but with the summer location you shouldn't be too far away, so come on out. Meet some new people!
One more thing before I post this, I know that sometimes some parks require a deposit to reserve a spot. I have no objection to paying the deposit, as long as people show up. So if it is at a park (w/deposit) ,and you have no intention of even trying to make a meet, please don't post.
Till next weekend, I'll have some pics and a scouting report.

You know I'm always up for whatever. I think a nice shady park area would be perfect because like you said, summer time it gets incredibly hot and the sun will take its toll for sure. Grilling again would be a nice idea seeing as it worked out pretty well last meet (thanks again to 2bcelica ). As far as spots go, I'll go ahead and wait to see what you find seeing as I'm nowhere near familiar with the arlington area. Will be keeping my eye on what you find out for sure

Can't wait for the next meet. Should be fun. Joe Pool Lake is a nice area, but I think they charge like 5 per car to go in. Jet Ski any one?

>

No idea about $5 per car seeing as I've never been but you did remind me of Burger's Lake. I believe they have admission prices though of like $10

sorry been a while. never had a chance to scouting as ive been working 13 days non stop. so as soon as i get a chance i'll take a look around arlington for a meet spot. hopefully this weekend (i really need to take a nice drive)!

as long as its before the last week in june its all good. i get out of school may 14th and then i am literally home free.

it should be last week of may first week of june? sorry havent been on here. busy with work but things should be back to normal today. so keep an eye out for the possible locations!

Alright, checked out two places today.
First was Bob McFarland park (410 Embercrest Drive). It has a pavilion with two tables and a grill. And on the outlying area there are more benches and grills. What I like most about this park is the location of the parking lot, its about 20-30 feet from the pavilion. Not a huge space overall, but should fit all of us nicely.



Second was Gene Schrickel, Jr Park (4500 Park Springs Boulevard). It was alot more open then the first one, a larger lot that is a bit further from the pavilion, but felt more updated. Again, had more benches and grills in the outlying area. The best thing about this one is the location to 20. Its right off of it.


Both spots offer plenty of shade from the June heat, and should provide enough space for all of us. As it stands now there are now reservations being taken, its on first come first serve. But I can guess that during the summer (ish) it'll have to be reserved. So, get back with me on what you guys want to do. Or if you want to throw in ideas about where to have our next meet at. Please keep in mind Im trying to keep it somewhere close to Arlington (as its pretty much in the middle). Or if you guys want to do a meet and then cruise somewhere, that'll be good too. Just let me know soon.
