Atlanta Wake up!

daisuke149 · 07-05-2010, 01:16 PM

Hey Atlantians!

This is a wake up! why are we letting Seattle be more active than us! comeon...

Even Virginia pfft! thats just shameful.. (sorry VA)

lol

But yeah, we have threads going about trying to work out more meets, more events and we need people to participate and state their opinions. Even if your opinion is "I dont care anything works for me" just let us know!

This is a forum, forums are meant to share ideas so even if you think my idea is dumb, just throw it out!

Also join the South East Z owners Group under the social groups, we can keep some local threads and discussions going there.

I have to agree with you Dai. It seems like Atlanta has the potential to be so much more active. Many of the other areas meet weekly. I'm not advocating one or the other, but it would be nice if we gathered more frequently. I know I'm new to the 370Z community so I'm always looking to meet new people and learn. I don't believe I'm the only one who's this.

I think Dai is challenging us ATLANTA, what's our response?

Z1 Vote submitted. I like the location and the crowd.

jadeb0x · 07-06-2010, 09:13 PM

i have a few suggestions for weekly things... one being the 1/2 price races at Andretti on Monday nights, we could eat at the Counter Burger just down the road as well...

could do the typical trivia nights at Hooters...

have a drink at Taco Mac, or Starbucks...

my type of meet isn't about going somewhere to get parts installed... i like the parking lot type of thing!

'10Anamoly · 07-06-2010, 09:21 PM

All good places, but not for meets really in my opinion. Taco Mac = a designated driver (i live beer), Andrettis is overpriced and I dont drink coffee at night. Its a nice cruise out there anyways, but I'm open to other suggestions.

I like the andretti's. im not a fan of hooters yo thei foood sucks! (i love to eat just fyi)

but not a mod meet everytime im just saying they are thoughts based on needs. like if 8 people are saying they got something they need to install, hey thts a mod meet.

and also we dont need to single out ONe thing to do, just keep the idea's coming and ya know then like for the next meet we'll have something to do.

jadeb0x · 07-07-2010, 06:51 AM

when the 350z first came out, i was living in orlando and my friend picked one up. they would have bi-weekly meets at some parking lot in the evening, and then just cruise around town. i wouldn't be surprised if to this day they still do something like this.

monday night at andretti's where the races are 1/2 price is still overpriced?

starbucks is a venue that is open late if we so happen to end up hanging around til the later hours... and they do serve non-caffeinated drinks.

hooters, wing house, fridays, taco mac... all the same to me... but again, places open late... and it is not required for you to drink alcohol to attend.

i'll go to brusters for some ice cream, or do what the local kids do and meet up at a sonic's somewhere.

point is, to have a central spot to meet so that word can spread and other owners may so happened to come across it, and if they can't make it the first time, then they could come the following week or the next. almost like how it's known that every first thursday of the month the varsity meet happens, every first sunday of the month is the cars and coffee meet at the avenues of roswell, every saturday at barrett parkway and on pleasant hill is the locals meet, every thursday at the BP on pleasant hill is the motorcycle meet, etc...

'10Anamoly · 07-07-2010, 08:09 AM

If everyone wants to meet at a place like that I'll swing by sometimes, but I'd prefer to meet somewhere where we can install stuff, chat about parts, check out shop cars, etc, versus just sitting at a Sonic or Starbucks for 5 hours. Besides, sooner or later you draw the attention of the police by gathering and those local kids run you out. Seen it too many times in the past that I cannot even count.

Again, we're talking a monthly meet, not daily, so the drive wont bother me a bit.

We need some input from someone besides myself and Jadebox about this, what does everyone else want to do?

I'm not too thrilled about hanging out outside of a restaurant. I'd be willing to stop by occasionally to say hello to the guys. My preference is to meet at a location where we're not going to draw negative attention, can learn more about our cars, and have to options to get things done on our cars if we choose to.

One of my main reason for suggesting Z1 is because they are open from 9:00am-6:00pm on Saturdays. This allows us to run our errands and gives us a larger window of time to gather.

Ryan@Forged · 07-07-2010, 08:41 AM

If you guys are open to a more central location I can look into setting up a local monthly meet here at Forged. Maybe something like a Saturday hangout around the shop, food/dinner, and then a drive down to the local Starbucks to hang out with other car enthusiasts? I'm open to suggestions but I am in agreement with the others that a monthly 370z meet needs to happen. This is a great way to learn more about your car and meet new people. Let me know how I can help. Hopefully you guys won't mind a GT-R attending
