I'll be there with the shiny new Alfa. On the fence about racing though. Still have a South Carolina temporary plate too, which mostly melted in the rain today.

>>17397941
I'm coming from PA, you can do it too.

>>17401792
you should, anyway.

>>17402974
I might, not sure. Will decide at the gate I suppose. Car should be good for 12's if I do.

Also, bump.

I sure hope I can get the hardware required to put my rear bumper back together before Sunday.

>thread is dead
How many people are actually coming? I hope this isn't like that one NJ meet where we had 3 cars, including myself.

>the NJ meet doesn't. Why is it, anons?
People should just watch the thread then and post something like a car picture to bump it if the page count drops to 9.

>>17397780
>Autism
Funny you should put it that way. The WA meet threads have some sort of troll who attacks posts that bump the thread. He calls those bump posters autistic. I guess he wants Meet threads to die since he is some sort of angry loner or afraid others will have fun without him.

>>17401792
>Still have a South Carolina temporary plate too, which mostly melted in the rain today.

I have tinted windows in the new car. The temp paper registration plate is barely visible if taped up. The tint shop did me a favor and laminated my temp plate and installed it in my rear plate holder. That way it is very visible. So far, have gone past two cops and they have not ticketed me despite the law technically saying new car paper plates should be taped in the rear window.

>>17406186
I always wondered about cars driving around with tinted back windows and no visible plate. you'd think that having the plate visible would be more important rather than the law technicality.

Bump

I remember the first meet, I brought 3 walkie talki radios just so we don't get left behind in the convoy. Me and the two other drivers i gave the radios to ,got left behind. :^)

I plan on going, not sure with what car though. And I'm pretty sure Harry's Run Guy will be there, possibly The Jackal.

>>17407556
Someone on Facebook just posted a Citroën Traction Avant for sale for $2500. With I had the spare money to buy it, take that thing to the meet even if it's on a trailer.

>I mean, we try not to, but that sort of thing happens when you got a group of a lot of people .
Only when there isn't enough organization. Did a drive with 100 S2000s a week ago, and we managed without losing anyone the entire day. I'm sure we could do it with nothing but a radio for the guys at the front and back, maybe I'll bring mine.

>>17409817
It just happens to my car sometimes when it sits for 30 minutes to an hour before trying to start it again. I was the last one out of the garage. Muh qjet.

>>17409857
Damn I should check if I have a walkie talkie somewhere. Gotta partake in some verbal shitposting while driving.

>>17409892
I have 4 FRS radios, so I can share. Only two headsets though

>>17409963
Picked up some extra radios. I can share them around, too.

>>17410671
Bump. Replacing the motor mounts on the car tonight so I can go to the drag strip and not tear one.

>>17411588
I think I might try to contact the Citroën owner tomorrow. If he wants to trade I'll totally get the Traction Avant.

Really looking forward to the meet now that I'm confident it can make the 3 hour drive. Also might pick up some cheap walkie talkies to share.

s'what I did. Amazon has some that are $40 for 4 of them.

>>17413087
Thanks. I know there's also a couple of Citroën parts specialists around if there's something you don't have. Was planning on calling the guy yesterday, but my friends broken car took priority.

>bumper bolt kit delivery date updated to Monday
Oh I'm mad. No one is allowed to look at the back of my car since there's no chrome cover on my bumper currently. Ayy maybe next year my car will be done and presentable.

>Oh shit, since when?
Just got it last weekend. Walked 1.2 miles to the train station, took a train, took another train, took a plane to Detroit, took a plane to South Carolina, then drove it 650 miles back home. Took me just under 24 hours.

Also, I'm thinking I'll probably skip racing this time around. I kinda want to, but don't want to take the risk with a new car. Need to get my Prelude put together for track stuff.

Yeah, I realize it doesn't matter that much, but I'm probably still going to go to a car wash before the meet .

Kinda wanted to go but I don't really want to leave my dog alone all day. I wouldn't have ran on the strip anyway, the trans in my TL is finicky as hell.

eyy fuck it, I'll join. Might just drive down to the meet at Sonic, meet the autismos from my state and then when everyone heads to the strip, just head on home. I worked last night and I got work tonight, so I am gonna need to get sleep in there somewhere.

>>17409817
It also happens when some people deliberately try to lose others. They may know there is a turn coming up so they let a gap occur in front of them. Then they race ahead and the one behind can't follow them and loses visual sight. Or someone waits for a red light and then runs it to leave the persons behind. That breaks the group of people following especially if that car that ran the red doesn't slow down or pull over so that the other cars can see it. If it just dashes off, that breaks the train.

Lots of secretly antagonistic or competitive people are like that. Once you get a large group of people, you are bound to acquire such types of competitive or elitist people. Then those drivers will do their tricks because it pleases them to create losers out of other drivers.

>>17430286
Other tricks include coming up to a 4-way stop. If there are other cars coming in other directions, you can wait at the stop for the other cars to come to a stop. That insures they will all takes turns moving AFTER you move. That means 3 chances of one of those cars getting in between you and the cars following you.

>>17409817
>that sort of thing happens when you got a group of a lot of people .
No, if the group cooperates, it can still be fast moving well above the speed limit but not lose any members. Everyone at the meet already has a basic idea of the route, so getting lost is not the problem as people should be able to make it to the next meeting point.

The biggest enemies are bad communications at the start. People who make changes to the route and just "hand wave" the changes as "oh, just go to smith park" when there might be more than one smith park. Or they meant Smythe park instead of Smith park. Those people might be well meaning and then say "Anyone that gets lost is their fault because people gotta learn to drive and navigate".

Those people turned off might never come back and simply add to the lore that /o/ Meets have a lot of selfish or egotistical people.

>>17396333

>its kind of pathetic that the socal meets have tons of bumps. but the NJ meet doesn't
Washington state meets had someone chronically complain on their threads about bumping being autistic. They stopped bumping and their threads die out even right before their meets.

The wa thread reappeared the day of the meet but it promptly died again on the same day of the meet due to no bumping. Threads don't live on /o/ without bumping since alphonse and others keep making spam and bait threads to push good threads off.

>>17428822
Some people bring their dogs to Meets. But those meets have stopping points where people go to the restroom, have snacks, talk about the drive to that point, and make sure of the details of the next part of the drive.

Just get one of those dog blanket hammocks for the rear seat.

i regret missing it pretty heavily at this point.

Part of my excuse was wanting to rig up my ~~new~~ exhaust fan for my garage. I spent 2.5 hours on doing so only to find it actually moves less air than my older smaller one.

Gonna have to do a swap before the next meet to redeem myself.

>>17425678

no sheetz in the good part of PA

>>17432081
If the new fan is quieter, then that is an advantage. But if the air gap between the outside edge of the fan blade and the surrounding cylinder, that can result in lost air pressure. Some fans work better in a tunnel too.

We even had appearances by Volkska and The Jackal, so pretty successful meet.

Which makes me think, does anybody here have a before abd after pic of the #flamingturd that they can photoshop together?

>>17432499
The old fan has a comforting but eerie whalloping sound to it, the new one gave the ghetto-fab mount parkinsons, thus being noisier.

I doubt it's an issue of housings as they both have a similar metal cylinder around the blades

If you set it to record only when sensing motion, maybe the scenery in front didn't change enough especially if you follow the same vehicle at a consistent distance.
