*1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS*1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser*2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun.
My parents bought a 2015 Camry XSE (V6) new, put about 40K miles on it and then sold it to my grandparents and it just sits in their garage. I'm working on persuading my grandparents to sell it to me - fingers crossed.

Sorry for going AWOL as hell, Things have been quickly falling apart. I'll be moving to a friend's house in PA because I still have not been able to get a job since 2020 rolled around originally.
There's a county forest preserve near me that might make a nice spot for a small meet, it's right down 394 so it's not a bad drive from the city. It's not very large but there's some trails for hiking and there's places to eat near by including a few pizza places. In terms of driving Bemes road is right up against the back of the preserve which is a nice leisure cruise through the forest, but very short. Uh not much else going on around there though. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Goodenow+...33;4d-87.602148
Oh yea, there's a nature center for kids and Chris/Jake.

Jordan I'd be down for a meet at a new spot. I suspect we can easily do it w/o risk of getting anyone sick, especially since it would be outdoors
There's some stuff west of the city that I think may be more equidistant to more of us, I just don't know about hiking/picnicking/dining in those areas personally.

Can't wait for the next meet. It'll be the first time that my daughter will witness the pure sexiness of a Celica. We saw a super clean third gen MR2 in the Costco parking lot and she liked that it was yellow. lol

so if we're speeding and get pulled over can we say we're just trying to get away from someone who might have covid-19? lol
lets do this. start checking for a day and place. I have seen the big chrome wheels chevy guys doing big meets here in chicago. And in other states they are having car meets to.
Has there been any date thrown out yet? Given things are starting to open again it's about to get busy again so a sooner date the better.
No one has put forth any plan yet. I think we're all open to suggestions.

As far as I know I'm open any of those days.
Anyone have an idea for location?

^ Available the same dates as well. The only changes is if the car is in the shop by then and not out.
everybody is ok with august 29? So we can start planning.
I'm probably out till COVID blows over (if ever - lol). We have some family members that can't afford to get it. I foresee things spiking when school starts back up, so we'll see.

I completely understand. My offer of you driving the Celica is good indefinitely.

I think you all should come down to Alabama and we can have ourselves a hootenanny in a state where brains (and masks, unfortunately) are optional.

was planning on driving over, don't have the celica anymore but you never forget your first love. guess ill wait till next year.

What do you have now?
I've been trying to get my friend from San Fran and his MR-2 to come out this way and Dragon with me one of these times. He'll probably fly out and ride down to Dragon in my car and I expect the following year he'll be thirsty for it in his own car.

I always thought the 350Z Challenge was seeing how long a 16-24 year old automotive enthusiast with a manual nissan 350z can go without hitting a vape or drifting into a tree, pole, or other non road object.

I thought it was how long the transmission and clutch would last (I know they got that fixed eventually, I just knew someone with a lemon 350Z) or how many laps between adding quarts of oil it goes?
Actually the VQ35DE is a nice engine to drive and thankfully for some reason the RWD engine placement doesn't seem to suffer the same timing chain wear issues that they do in FWD, not sure why as as far as I can tell they're the same engine and same timing set.
