ok guys, im going to call demans85 soon, he tried to call me last night but my neighbor is in the hospital and i was visiting so i didnt have my phone on me, but anyway im going to ask him what day is better for him, im thinking more about sunday depending on when the game starts and ends on saturday as i want to watch the game and im sure my friend that has a 3rd thats coming with me will be watching the game also, since its on a sunday we may do it a little early than once thought, lets see what uncletom has to say, it seem that most of us are up for anytime, looks like we have dmans85, navyCM, my friend, and me so far, 4 is better than none, plus we can get a chace to get to know each other better over a good holiday dinner, be able to figure out other good ideas for meets that will work with everyone, maybe making one FAR in advance to people can adjust there time to make it.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

that sounds like a good date, i havent had any free time much for the cards, i been pulling 50 hour weeks, havent even hooked up my printer to this computer yet. i will try to get them ready before the next meet!!! i will have time after christmas.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

im fixin to get a price quote on making decals for the back window that say,

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

that would be SWEET as well as a good idea. i like it!!!!!!!!!

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

well if a few more like it then i will have to get a few made, what is the ball park price yall would want to pay for one?

Dmans85

Decal creation gets a thumbs up from me. Nice one J . Can't imagine price could exceed 25 could it?
Update: Still no car, still no progress

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

I cant see the pic you posted work PC wont allow it but if all ohters like it Ill go w/ it.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

oh there is no pic just text of how it will look, im sure in will be under 25, i think it was $13 for just the www.thirdgen.org , but not sure about adding more, it go by ft, and since the gulf coast third gens will be above the www.thirdgen.org i would think that it would still fall under the "X" amount of feet, and btw we are making it to fit between the plastic bolt caps that are on the top of your back glass (two on each side) on your hatch, that will make Gulf Coast Third Gens aprox 21-22 inchs long, and the www.thirdgen.orgwill be centered under that.... i will get a price and MAYBE get mine done over the weekend, get the guy to store the design on a disk so i dont have to pay again to re-design it, but i will get a price to cut 6 of them and then divide the price up and tell yall what it will set each of us back.

once again the cards to put on windshields, i will work on when i get some time, i dont have a card program on this new computer so it will take awhile but it is in the works, just going with a camaro symbol and a t/a symbol then the "gulf coast third gens", the web site, with a description of the web site like "TGO offers outstanding advice and support for third gen owners" and im puting my contact number just incase the person has no net at home.

BTW Brian, i beet you are missing your car LOL, o well it will be worth it when they are done i guess....on the black plastic part that your headlights mount in all i can tell you is there is a rectangle hole that the plastic part that holds the aim screw for the up and down aim on your headlight, that goes on top, there is a round hole in the back that looks like its the size of a quarter (give or take) that is on the bottom and on the back, i hope that helps

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

sounds pretty cool. wish i could be more help w/ all this. not having my PC really sucks. doing everything frm work.

we settle on a date yet for the next meet???

UNCLE TOM

iTrader: (1)

how about the 12th or 19th , i like them both . next question , where ??? i am sure it will be a little on the cool side then . anyhow everybody bring any parts to swap/sell/trade . sound good to anyone else ?? come on folks its a busy time of the year , but throw some ideas . LETS GITERDONE !!!!

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

im still up for the having a lunch or dinner somewhere, and then doing something like a swap/sell/trade or just hang out thing after the meal, the 19th seems cool with me

UNCLE TOM

iTrader: (1)

i thought we were trying to start a 3rd.gen/gearhead group . not a dinnerclub/social group . oh well , i'm just an old gearhead that refuses to grow up . lets get back to our "ROOTS" , got that off my chest . anyone else have any ideas ??? come on people , lets hear from you . i know this post gets a lot of reads , lets get some input .

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

you all know me im up for anything, anywhere, any time as long as work permits.

Ive been real absent lately. I chime in as often as I can.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

well, all we planed on was tring to get a dinner somewhere one night, and then hanging out and doing the car club thing after, but either way we need a meet for jan 19th somewhere, hmmmmm dont know where yet

Dmans85

Just an idea to throw out there. Outside of Birmingham near the GA. border at a walmart there is a huge cruise in in Springville on every third saturday of the month. Least a hundred cars last time i went. THey go early afternoon to past dusk. Know its a drive and a half for everybody. I'm going regardless, though still in truck. The more the merrier.
82/89- U check on copyright issues? If we meet locally, the 12th is my vote.
Christmas blessings to all.

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

checking on copyright today, just emailed JT,

as for the trip to B'ham, i still say as we talked about on the phone is anyone else wants to go we need to ride in as few cars as possible and maybe split the gas with whoever we ride with, i will see how $$$$$ is with me, and go from there, thats a short trip to me (but i used to drive trucks LOL)

as for our local meet umm 19th works for me i guess, thats cool with me....lets say THE 19th WE MEET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok lets figure out where and when..... im still up for the idea of eating somewhere, but got an idea for that, not everyone wants to spend $$$$$ to eat out, so lets call the a social event after the meet, if you want to go enjoy a dinner you can go, if not then its ok with me, i just enjoy a good dinner and drink with friends. i figure we can meet up at a big parking lot somewhere or a city/county park, or a private place if we got the OK

IDEAS WHERE?? i will be on the look out, lets try to get the mobile area this time, next time we will get the MS area

still need a business card template for my computer to make the cards any help or ideas where to get one for free to cheap LOL

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

i think the mobile area is fair. we've done MS twice now the coast and h'burg.

the 19th is cool give some unwind time from the holidays.

lets get a count of who will be there...

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

i will be there, where ever it will be

89RS_82Z

What fun, well my g/f plowed into the side of my car, or as i like to say "she raped my car" GRRRRRRRR only got the drivers door, but im p'ed off, but on the plus side, im going to have all the little anoying body problems fixed, and the whole car repainted so im happy about that, on the down side i may not have all matching vin #'s on my panels but o well

89RS_82Z

UNCLE TOM

iTrader: (1)

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

89RS_82Z

iTrader: (2)

working on there where part of it, looking to go at a parking lot somewhere, hopefully my car will be fixed by then, im know i got someone with me going and im sure dmans85 will be there also

dj82z28

im the friend that jason was talking about

OneBeast88

I will most likely be in Mobile on the 19th. Not 100% sure yet.

Nothing on my car has changed since we met at Cruisin the Coast. I have a sway bar sitting around I have not installed. I have just recently started messing with the Malibu again and it is gonna be taking my money for a little while.

Edit: I would say Mobile Dragway is a good place to meet, but they are not having an event the 19th.

dj82z28

if you could make it on the night of the 18th they are having test and tune/ grudge racing. it starts at 7 PM, or 8 PM. its $10 to get in and $5 more to run. i go out there all the time with my other car and run sport compact, and it can get busy, just to warn you guys.

i second that, sounds cool........ as for the part of the group that eats dinner at the meets would you want to eat before, or go to like waffle house after since it would be late, yall know i pretty much dont care when or where, just as long as everyone can afford to get in, BTW that $10 is per head not per car. if there is a problem with switching then let us know on here, if we dont do this i say we meet up on Airport near the TGI fridays, in a big parking lot, maybe like at Harbor Freight or Brunos, during the day on the 19th and then the dinner crew can go from there.

navyCM

iTrader: (3)

you all know me i dont care. im the biggest promotor of this. we have lost as many as we have gained in the past few monthes. i really have wanted this club to grow by leaps and bounds and it hasnt happened.

i would love to see a this become a full fledged 3rd gen club. but w/o meets and getting out to those who own are cars its not going to happen.

i know it hard trying to get locals involved b/c they dont car enough about our rides as we do, if they did they'd be on here.

ive set back quietly since this got taken off the ground and the interest has not taken off like i had expected.

dont get me wrong i love the fact that we have gotten a few new people since this all started but we have also lost the core group that this started w/.

let seriously do this for real and not just talk about it on here.

there are no clubs in are area for us so we will be the ground breakers. i see so many older folks w/ there culbs for 60/70s musle cars.

why cant we have one for our generation......................

there im donr venting!

i was one of the first to jump on this wagon and i agree 100% . this started as , south mississippi 3rd. gen. . a car group of 3rd. gen. lovers . lets get back to our " ROOTS " , as a car club/group . i'm with you navyCM . what happened to cooter , shr00m , ladybug , and all the others ??? i know yall are still out there . let's hear and get thought's from more people . HAPPY NEW YEAR to all , and let's get back to our roots . COME ON , i know this thread gets a lot of reads . "GITERDONE"

OneBeast88

I am down with going to test n tune, I won't be able to make dinner though.

Hopefully I will get some work done on my other car and run it down there. Last pass was a 7.2x, if all goes well I will be shotting for a 7.0x.
