[THE (F)LAME]

hmm i might go again this year i went last year with a few friends and it was ok.

[Tonk]

I'm up for it. We gotta shoot for Saturday probably. I have class until 3pm on Friday, and I'll be heading up to my dad's house in Warwick, NY (about an hour outside the city) Friday evening. So anytime Saturday (either before or after the show) works for me. 9D2streetGSX wants to join us as well I am pretty sure.

[Anthony C]

yea im down

[Casse]

I'll be down. I'm 30-35 mins from the city.

[i_crave_vtec]

I'm goin'! :D But not driving, though. Can't STAND city drivers. The LIRR works fine for me. :D

[mikemc]

I go every year, normally take the train. If there was a car type meet where you guys wanted to meet up I would drive it though, isn't that much out of the way for me. Parking in the city blows though.

[The KiD]

...Mad expensive too. Paid around $75 for parking alone last year...

[Tonk]

What the fuck??? I parked 4 blocks away and paid $20 for the entire day.

[The KiD]

I got ripped off! :nonono2:

[mikemc]

$15.00 = train (round trip) + 2 mile drive + no NYC parking

[Tonk]

NYC parking is fun. I go to the same guy every year. Then when I leave I drive by the convention center and get everyone's attention :)

[The KiD]

My car gets too much attention sometimes. Potential car thieves are a big nono. I'm probobly going to take the train this year.

[Tonk]

Or we can have a meet, then all pack in the Neon :) since I'm driving there anyway.

[mikemc]

I am sure parking is safe, if we planned enough people for a meet I would be down. It is like 2 months away.

[THE (F)LAME]

we should just rent out one of those valet lots

[AnGeLeIgH]

LoL, no it's not! Last time I went it was hysterical. We parked in a valet lot, when we went to get our car, they told us they moved it. Okay, to a different spot? No...a different LOT, practically in another borough!! We had tp trek around NYC to try and find the lot. When we found it, it was ALL the way in the back. We waited about an hour for them to get it out. There was a guy standing next to us, I guess waiting for his car, and the guys were moving cars all around to get ours out. Well, they decided to move this turbo Supra (not knowing that the LARGE man next to us, was the owner of the Supra) and they TORE IT UP right in front of him! Spun the tires, revved the motor, grinded the clutch, BAD.....we got outta there fast so I missed what happened afterwards, but it couldnt have been good! :eek:


Yeah I dont know where to pay $20 for a day especially for a day of a big event like that...I think someones been :usuck: for parking! :nono: A good covered garage is mucho :money:

[Tonk]

For all of those that don't believe me, just park where I do :) then you'll see.

[Tonk]

I just went on www.autoshowny.com and it looks like there will be some kind of Tuner display.

[The KiD]

It's suppose to be like 60 degrees tomorrow no need for a coat.

[Tonk]

Steveny, still want to meet up on Saturday?

[The KiD]

I'm not sure when me and my buddies are heading down that day, most likely noonish. If I dont get in contact with you just let me know what you'll be wearing or something so I can spot you. I'll either be rocking a corona or teck hat.

[Tonk]

Look for the tallest guy there. That will be me lol

[TMINUS MATT]

[55fanatic]

hey guys anyone gonna be down there saturday? Gonna leave boston at the ass crack of dawn saturday morning or maybe late friday night... gonna be staying with some friends on LI and we are plannin on going

[Tonk]

I will be there Saturday

[THE (F)LAME]

i went yesterday with my friends and was sitting in traffic and had my car go through a battlefield of potholes on the way there. but once i hit the GWB i was able to get there in 5min. i was rocking my teck SRINAC shirt. also if you use the lot thats on the dealer discount coupons it's only $16 but that lot looked sketchy so i parked across the street and it cost me $19. i pulled in and saw a ferrari in the lot so that was a good sign. i was also parked a few cars away from an older(93-96??) civic si hatch so i knew that would get stolen b4 my car would. it was cheaper to pay for 1/2 tank of gas + parking than having each person take the train. except it wasn't faster. also that jeep shit sucked cus we had to ride in a fucking grand cherokee instead of a rubicon. who goes offroading in that?? leather interior,dvd players etc?? at least our driver was cool.

[The KiD]

MOST likely will be there saturday. Looking forward to seeing some of you there.

[i_crave_vtec]

[THE (F)LAME]

i'll put mine up tomarrow of some hot cars u missed. i woulda got alot more pics but my camera sucks and overheats the chip so i can't save pics to it.

[The KiD]

Damn, It's going to be pouring like crazy tomorrow. Still gonna be there though.

[The KiD]

Just got back. The weather wasnt the greatest but it didnt rain on me. I saw someone rocking a yellow teck hoodie. I'm going to start working on a video.

[Tonk]

I didn't see anyone in Teck apparel, but yeah the rain sucked. I was hydroplaning everywhere on the drive home. So much standing water on the highway, and I was only doing like 40 mph. But the show was awesome, except for all the freakin people. Here's my webshots pics:
