Nice design but a little bit bulky.. maybe make the sky line a little smaller and also add an outline of south mountain with the antenna's on top of it.

Regarding: AZ3RDGENS club sticker

Considering we all have different opinions and tastes, it would be easier just to have everyone make their own sticker. That way you can choose font, size and color, the only requirement is that it says, "AZ3RDGENS" so it represents our club and you be considered a member.

1986 T/A

Sooo, whose up for another meet? Cruise on central wasn't the best turnout Juve and I were having a good time until he had to leave expectantly. We really need to get our **** together if you guys are as serious as Juve and I are about having a club. We could do something like southmoutain again or even cruise into a car show together.. Let me know. All suggestions are welcome. As for the Tucson guys.. hang in there i want to get a decent group together if were going to make a cruise/trip. https://www.facebook.com/AZ3RDGENS?ref=hl

KNT_RDRaz

Cruise on Central was off the hook this year! Not sure where you guys were, but if you paid to hang in Park Central Mall, sorry. We all hang out down at Thomas and Central at Lenny's Burgers where all the action's at every 6 months.

On the subject of another gathering, I think something a little more North, like Metro Center would be better to come together. If it's a carshow you're looking for, then I hear that 83rd and Lake Pleasant is hopping again. They have some good places to eat there, like Sardella's.

Juve88GTA

Come on guys!
Maybe you belong to other car clubs and that is cool, we're not trying to compete with anybody, we just want to have a club dedicated to 3rd gens only, but still support clubs like AZFBA.
1986T/A and I are really trying to put something together but without you guys is impossible. Perhaps you car is not in the best condition, it doesn't really matter, or maybe you're having issues with your car, and thats the whole point of the car club, we can help each other fix our cars.

1986 T/A

Exactly what Juve said... Its not a competition thing as there are not to many thirdgens on the streets, but more of a small club type of thing. But we need you guys to give suggestions aswell of what you want to do. I think it could be cool to meet at south mountain again than cruise up the moutain to a spot that Juve knows of. Even if your apart of a club just come and chill, BUT with respect for each others car and views. If anyone is interested in a club decal just scroll up the forum a bit to see the pic of one on my car.. (i dont make money off of the decals)

KNT_RDRaz

You know we aren't bagging on you guys. It may sound a little stiff, but we've seen so many people (me included) trying to start an 'All 3rd Gen' car club. And everytime (including when I tried to do it with a few others) it has always never taken flight. But to see all the 3rd Gen's that showed up for the first gathering was bigger than I've seen in a long time.
So you guys have got a great start.. now keeping them is the important part (I know, speaking from experience). And like I said, I will try to help be a part of it with the KOTSW guys, even though our group is small too. Our main trouble spot is everyone works on different days and shifts. So that make's it difficult to come together.
Also, getting burned out on South Mountain. How about trying a different location this month?

Juve88GTA

I think is all about commitment.
We don't ask much from you guys, just to show up. Y'all chose driving 20+ year old cars instead of a newer car that perhaps is more reliable, that shows passion and love for these cars, so share it with us.

DesertFox

No offense, but from what I saw at central cruise, if you think that was "off the hook" you seriously need a hobby. What was going on in front of Lenny Burger prior to the total closure of northbound Central (6pm-ish) bordered in idiotic. I'm not big on a lot of safety stuff, but I'm amazed someone didn't get hurt.
I'm glad I left my car in the parking garage and was riding with someone else. Based on my experience, it will be the last central cruise I will ever attend.
83rd and Lake Pleasant had about 25 cars 2 weeks ago and nothing this week, so uh yeah if sitting in an pretty much empty parking lot is fun for you.. then yeah it hopping


Sorry, while I support your efforts, our "commitment" to a 26 y/o car has us running all over the country racing it this year. We're already active in several groups only have so much free time. If you happen to do an event when we're in town Tom and I may consider going.


Super Chevy Show in Bakersfield is next out of town trip in early June, feel free to tag along for the road trip.

After that, there's Nashville,TN, Bowling Green, KY and a trip to VIR if back to back to back in Sept. if you're really looking for adventure. I've kinda moved on from the sitting in a lawn chair and talk thing, it was great years ago but quite frankly got quite boring.

KNT_RDRaz

I guess my choice of words is incorrect.. as I thought "off the hook" also meant "crazy". I agree, the safety was not there and that was the "crazy" part. I will agree with you on that Val. I left my car parked and I didn't show up until 430pm.
As for 83rd, I guess I was misinformed.. was told it is slowly growing and that Goodwill took over half of the old Safeway building and that it's drawing attention once again. As for it being empty this past week, makes sense with all the other annual shows going on. I also agree, it got old hanging out in a parking lot, but every once in awhile isn't so bad. I think a monthly meet up is a positive thing IMHO.

LOL not everyone has "deep pockets". Are you paying for everyone to "tag along"? It's great that you guys have found a new notch to put on the pole in this hobby. Hopefully it pays off~ Otherwise I'd be glad to be the recipient of any funds you would potentially throw away.

Beater79TA

I choose to drive older cars with completely revamped modern drivetrains and suspension setups because I can. I also do it because one of these was my first new car after finishing school back in the day.

We also own brand new ones that get relegated to daily driver status because new cars blend in better than a well maintained older car. Based on last year's 6000 mile road trip, the 88 can be just as reliable out racing down America's highways.

As far as showing up, as Val said, we have a lot more fun flogging the cars at events around the country than we do sitting in parking lots so feel free to come watch the show sometime. Bakersfield is next. Maybe we'll make it to a meet or a Saturday night at the Pavillions but it's a lot more fun to drive them than to sit around and talk about them.

DesertFox

Sorry, you'd have to stand way back in a long line if we were to start just giving stuff away like that.
It's also not unusual to help our friends out with out of town trips but these are the same friends that have been there through entire engine builds and long nights under a car on jack stands.

A lot of people take vacations to Disneyland we do this instead. It's not about having deep pockets, it's about choosing what you spend your time and money on.
You chose to buy multiple Knight Rider clone parts, we got good body work, suspension etc.
Getting to where we are now isn't a case of simply throwing cash at stuff, most of it was done in the garage but Tom, Casey, and whoever else showed up. It's been a 5 year journey to get the car where it is.

Beater79TA

Deep pockets? What are those? Job keeps me on the road consistently during the year so road trips are almost always done entirely on hotel points and frequent flyer programs. Other than gas and entry fees, there are very few out of pocket expenses involved in these trips.

Building the car is entirely different story though. I try not to add up those expenses.

1986 T/A

Not sure where you guys got the idea from to just come in here and start bashing on people. Honestly good for you, you get to go around country and do all sorts of cool racing type things. I daily drive my car from home- to high school- than off to work. You can come in here and act all bad@ss if you want, but it leads to no good. Judging by the names you guys call each other i've seen both of you on AZFBA on Facebook, if your in a group than great you found your car family! Let us develop ours.. Your negativity towards each other is not wanted here..

Im getting a kick out of the last page of this thread, lol. Central cruise was an absolute joke. Its dead, and has been for a few years. Its hit or miss as to whether or not the coppers are going to shut the street down before the sun goes down. If those filthy pigs lightened up, it may return to what it was 5-6 years ago. I dont see that happening. 67th and Bell is still the best spot to hit on a Saturday night. I went out to the Pavilions last week, and it was the same old garbage. $200k checkbook cars, punk kids, and oriental junk. Was my first time going out there in about 4 years, and I wont be doing that again. Arizona sucks as far as the car scene

Beater79TA

Central Cruise could be made better in a lot of ways. Set up some burnout boxes with some k barriers would be a good start. There are ways to keep it safer that would keep the cops and the crowds happy. Pre-registration for the parking would be nice too. We've taken up parking on the roof of the garage because at least once we paid to park and there weren't any spaces left.

On the Pavs, I agree. If you get there early enough there are some nice muscle cars there. If you get there after dark, it's mostly rice. We've had the chance to see an arrest or two in the parking lot involving stupid people later in the evening.

As far as the rest of the weekly cruise ins, we don't make many of them. Saturday evening a lot of weekends is either time to collapse after a day of competition or final prep for going out to compete on Sunday morning. And if there isn't an actual competition, the weekend is often consumed with upgrades and maintenance so we make it out to a cruise in a few times a year. And sitting in a parking lot just isn't that attractive any more. I'd much rather spend a free day cruising to Tortilla Flats or Bagdad.

1986 T/A

we did the parking lot because not alot of us knew eachother. I would love to do a cruise, but not alot of people can do that right now... Maybe if azfba would plan something we would join them

Juve88GTA

Completely off the topic guys.
I understand that some of you have different interests, some of you like racing, some of you like to complaint about the car scene in general. But that's not our philosophy, at least in my point of view. And again, the whole purpose of this club (AZ3RDGENS) is to create a group with average 3rdGen owners that use their cars as daily drivers or that perhaps just bought a project car and need help trying to get it to run right, we don't care about the condition, looks, and we don't care how many races or shows their car has won, EVERYONE with a 3rdGen is more than welcome if they have a positive attitude.
Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, but let's just be respectful of other peoples efforts.

Hmmm...I'm curious were my 3rd gen Firehawk fit's in?? Ultra Clean has you've all seen,carves corners,drivin when needed,and can do a pass on the track anytime,and all with A/C!!...And has a few know i went to south mountain(and have pic's at the top with Az All Muscle Club) and was at central show/cruise and when time permits have been to every charity show that nancy perry puts on....and all this key board warrior crap is why i just roll to shows Independent.....Just my 2 cents..

Juve88GTA

I was wondering about you 89' firehawk...
I just wanna say that we appreciate your support to our car clubs, even tough your 1989 Firehawk is way out of our league.
Hope you find time to come to our upcoming meet.

mula-lenta

These guys are trying to do something for the better of the 3rd Gen community, to each their own, no need to be condescending. Keep doing your interest Juve and 86 t/a. This has just turned into a sour note thanks to a selective few and their is no need for that. We are all in different stages in life. Plain and simple so no need to knock on any one because we are not the same.

1986 T/A

Exactly what mula said. Thats why were open to all different conditions of thirdgens.
