SW area meet

[Traitor_Moron]

we should try getting a SW area meet going.. im in Las Vegas and not opposed to anywhere in So Cal and of course theres always LAS VEGAS!!

[shelfy]

i could probably be talked into a meet if it was within a day's drive. vegas works, but i'd be out if it were in southern california.

[Traitor_Moron]

for some reason 230hp AWD coupes are more popular in the north and east. but im hanging onto hope theres a few more out here... we could really shoot for the moon and go for a "family" meet SOMEwhere... :D :eek:

we could really shoot for the moon and go for a "family" meet SOMEwhere... :D :eek:perhaps, someplace central like richfield, utah? :D

[Traitor_Moron]

i think Richfield has a gas station... maybe an Arbys... at the very least Quickie Mart Nachos and a fuzzy hot dog... i like the idea of Vegas.. :cool:

[shelfy]

... i like the idea of Vegas.. :cool:i'm sure you do. honestly, i've been dying to take the svx on a long road trip. i always planned on attending the reading meet, but i can never justify burning an entire week's vacation to drive out there and spending a full five days on the road. i plan on attending the 15th anniversary meet (10th for me :D) in indiana in september since i won't have to clear it with anyone else's schedule. that's gonna be one monster drive for one day.

I've been trying for years to do a western meet.
Doesn't meet with much interest or cooperation. Can't even get the people on the other side of the mountains (CO) to drive into the high country, let alone venture over here where the rivers run the right way.

Richfield, Utah has a very nice Flying J truck stop...a pleasant Best Western hotel, and a single-screen movie theatre....:p
But it is a nice drive.

Not at all opposed to going to Vegas, might just have to plan a 3-day weekend!

We're going to be through there next month, but not in the SVX.

I'm sure the Reading is a big thing, and so will be the Indy, but I just can't handle the drive either.

BUT. I am doing what I can to pull off a visit to the 20th.
Talk about a major event. How many vehicles produced since the 80's actually make it through 20 years anyway. You'll see me there.

Being southwest sucks! My car is so lonely here in San Diego. I only know one person with an SVX and I see more, but they obviously don't belong to any car sites... :(

why would they?

[SVeXy96]

So their SVXs can have friends too!...and make SVX babies lol that would be cool if cars had babies

[shelfy]

they could do it tortoise-style!

[SVeXy96]

:D Did anyone ever make a model SVX? I always wanted one...or an electric model that would be so cool!

[ShiuludeSVX]

Actually, Vegas might not be a bad deal for L.A, Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Salt Lake, and even Carson City, but a bit of a trip for Denver area.

I think I could pull off a Vegas trip.

[SVeXy96]

I would be down for Vegas!

[poltroon]

New to the scene a bit, only had my subie for short while and been on the forums only recently.. but what the hell, lets try one ;)

[SVeXy96]

Well lets start throwing dates around. I'm gonna be pretty busy the next 2 monthes and I transfer to Hawaii May 30th, but I need to ship my car over there at least 2 weeks earlier.
I would like to vote for a Saturday...possibly the weekend of April 21st or 28th because I'm pretty sure I'll be free...so what about you guys?

One of the our Kung Fu Masters is coming out from China for the week, and I absolutley cannot make that one.:(
If you folks wanna go ahead with that, then I can try and hookup later.

[Traitor_Moron]

remember guys, Vegas is gonna be nice and toasty the longer you wait... its already mid 80's to 90's here. but my car is being painted at the end of April and im dumping about $2000 into struts and suspension, drive axles, blah blah blah so obviously i want to wait till shes ready :)

[SVeXy96]

I got orders to Oahu so my car gets shipped to Hawaii beginning to mid May so if its not real soon I won't make it :(

[Traitor_Moron]

bump... we can still organize this... if anyone has any ideas lets work it out..

Due to military recall status, I'm restricted to a 250 mile radius from Searchlight, NV.

I'll offer you a place to crash if you ever need one. I be moving into a 3 bedroom place this week and have it all to myself. God bless the military.
