Pittsburgh/Western PA/Ohio/WV Group
 

Hi everyone. so far from being on this site i haven't come across many people or threads for the western pa, eastern Ohio, and WV areas.

i myself am from right outside the city of Pittsburgh. so far in the past year I've maybe seen 3 other 370Z's but I'm sure there's more somewhere.

I'd like to find more people around this area with Z's(370 or 350). regardless if it's just to know more local people with the same interests in Z's or possibly setting up some meets around the area. i see many other groups on here doing the same for their areas so i figured I'd give it a shot for my area.

if you're from any of the surrounding areas please chime in, show support, give feedback, or just general discussion.

so i guess here is the OFFICIAL Western PA/Pittsburgh/OH/WV thread

FP :hello:


Would you be interested in crossing over into our Central PA thread every now and then? Maybe we can drum up a nice big Left half of PA meet at some point? :rofl2:

Or at least come up with something. I want the pink mist! :tup:

i posted in there a few times the other week. all your meets are so far for us over here in the west so it's hard for me to make it out there with work.

i do like the idea of tryin to get a big left half of PA meet though. if we can gain some more interest from others i'm down to start brainstorming ideas on dates, locations, times, etc

I've got a new thread going now, that will be a little less disorganized. :tiphat:

But yeah, if you wanna do some sort of 'mass' meetup, then let me know. Probably will have to be later in the year when more people are out of school and all, but it could totally be doable. :tup:

is your new thread in the NE or mid-a section?

yea i agree more towards mid-summer would be good. plus gives plenty of time to stir up interest and plan.

Mid-A section, wasn't sure where exactly to put it since PA is kinda the outcast of the east coast. It's not really Mid-A but it's not really NE either, especially western PA. :shakes head:


Here: http://www.the370z.com/mid-atlantic-...pa-thread.html

dude i struggled with that same problem when i made this thread haha

i mean its not near the atlantic and on the back end of possibly being NE soo i just took a stab and did NE. we should tell AK to make us a region category just for PA :roflpuke2:

I thought about it. :rofl2: I think we're to the point, that it might be easier to make States instead of regions... There's a lot more people rolling around now than there was in 09 when the forum first started. Especially since PA takes up such a large space.

:iagree: completely. i mean i've barely been on here a year but the more i actually look at people locations and the amount of diff people in the Mid-a/NE threads talking about places and meets in PA it would make out lives easier.

i just barely ever see anyone from my side of the state on here besides i think 2 people so far. hence why i made this thread lol i just hope it picks up a little. i know there gotta be some more Z's hiding around my area besides the old lady in a white roadster i saw 2 weeks ago and the old guy in a grey one i pass going home from work like once a month :rofl2: plus i barely see 350's around here either besides the few i know from drift or drag events i go to.

:icon17: Most older people you won't see on here.

oh i know lol i'm out here fishin for the younger Z crowd in my area but so far no major results. its early though this threads only been up 2 days.

But states don't necessarily work, either. Look at the entire northeast. Does Rhode Island need its own section? :ugh2:

And just because a state border exists, that doesn't mean it's more convenient for someone in, say, MD, to go to a MD meet. If they live out at Deep Creek Lake, it would be better for them to go to a Pittsburgh Meet than a Baltimore or DC one.

Thats why I think it might be okay for just a PA state region due to the sheer Size of the State. Much like Texas. Mid-A Covers WVA, VA, MD, De, NE Covers NO, NJ, and north... PA really doesn't fit into either of those.

Mid-Atlantic doesn't cover WV at all. I've yet to meet a West Virginia Z owner in our section, or his lovely sister-wife.

If PA gets its own section due to size, then pretty much everything west of the Mississippi needs to as well, because PA is a dwarf compared to those states.

:iagree:since i'm close to both OH and WV borders i can easily head to OH events or WV ones no problem. hell even VA events arent too bad. i go down there multiple times a year to visit my cousin and his fam outside of DC.


PA never gets the love and respect it deserves haha :roflpuke2:

:facepalm: Fine, whatever then. I'm just speaking. No use for everything to be overly analytical. I don't fuckin care. Just trying to get a boost in whatever area I happen to hang my hat at.

i need to get more people in PA interested in this thread and build it up.

But that would take attention away from My PA thread, and this I cannot allow. :p

ok let me rephrase that. i want more WESTERN PA people interested. you know MY PA people lol

Whenever we decide to collaborate and make a giant PA meet then we can combine our efforts :happydance:

That sounds like a rump roughin good time. :yum:

i just gotta get shi t on my side of the state goin then we can make something big happen. i'd actually like to get something like a mini zdayz up our way going lol but i doubt that can happen.

A Northeast ZDayZ would be cool. But I'm sure there's gotta be something like that already going on somewhere... Hmmm... :icon08:

I'm just giving you some grief.

I do agree that PA is stuck in this weird middle ground.

:p You give me a lot more than grief. :yum:


Yeah, that's why I say it's kind of a bastard red headed step child of the east coast, and might need it's own situation lol

i honestly don't think there's anything just for Z's up around here. either that or i just haven't done enough research. it's just hard with work gettin time off to head down south for zdayz or z nationals when i got most my vaca days tied up for family vaca in august and probably Hawaii again in December.

we need to see if there is anything...if not let's make somethin happen :excited:

Sounds like a plan. I'm sure all the NE Z's will be happy they won't have to drive all the way down to NC lol. We need to find a nice windy road.

i'm sure there are plenty of tight twisty roads in PA. lots of mountain roads all over the state. just gotta find a good one with places to stay and put on a show nearby.

And that are Park territory, then we only have to deal with NFS cops, not County, State, and Township cops. :ugh2:

good point sir. just off the top of my head i know its closer my way than yours but seven springs is a mountain resort like 1 1/2 hours away from me. in the summer they got things to do plus a decent golf course and there's gotta be windy roads around there too.


here's a map of the area

Google Maps

We'll prolly wanna meet up somewhere and scope the place out before making a big announcement thread.

(Plus gives us a chance to tear the roads up privately) :tup:

i like where your head is at lol :driving:

:stirthepot:

i like it :tup:

How could it ever go wrong!? :rofl2:

had to go and say that lol :eekdance:

:stirthepot: :stirthepot:

haha atleast us goin back and forth like lil girls may gain some interest in this thread. your thread is looking pretty healthy.

Only because it had a previous thread, full of drama. :rofl2:
