That being said, if mostly everyone lives in Marietta and that area and the meet is there, the non-local people who dont want to be in traffic forever probably wont come. I've been up I-75 numerous times on weekdays and it isnt worth it for any car meet honestly. I'd rather meet up somewhere where everybody drives a little to get there.

(Refer to my previous comment about enjoying the drive in my car, assuming its not in dead stop traffic)

Besides, the meets off Barrett at the Starbucks are a joke

. If that is the idea about the monthly meet is to drive up I-75 in traffic and then head on to a Starbucks near there, I'll save my gas.

Well, by that viewpoint central would be downtown Atlanta. I doubt the majority here would want to hangout/park in downtown Atlanta. Seeing how most the owners seem to live north of Atlanta, it would make sense to meet somewhere north of Atlanta. If you have a meet in Gwinnett then the Kennesaw/Rome guys have to drive quite far. If you have a meet in Kennesaw, the Gwinnett/Alpharetta guys have to drive pretty far. Finding somewhere in the middle would be nice, which is what I meant by Central. I did not say central Atlanta, I said a central location. So yes, central is relative and is dependent on who is coming and where they are coming from. The general consensus seems to be that everyone wants to meet on the weekend, which eliminates the traffic factor. Somewhere around 285 between I75 and I85 or close to it would be perfect IMO for most. Since you seem to be against Forged we will remove that from the options. I simply offered it up because guys said they wanted a shop/part install option. I also agree the Starbucks on Barrett is a joke. Lets here your suggestions for places. I think D&B and Taco Mac are great suggestions. Perhaps something around the Perimeter/Dunwoody area is better for everyone?

see the easy solution to this is moving it around : )

lets face it, not 100% of people will come to every meet. Based on attendance we can rotate/move it around. I mean comeon were all smart here, a little adjustments / dyanmics won't hurt no one. : )

but appreciate the Forged guys offering their shop. Im sure sometime we'll do that.

Maybe we should take baby steps! lets work out August!

August might be a good time to do a slightly later meet, do some detailing, installing cus of the zcon.
