10-20-2007, 08:11 PM
Rain or shine i'm going out and driving my car...
Who wants to join me?
Here's the "TENTATIVE" intinerary. I am very open to suggestions and better ideas.
SUNSHINE PLAN:
I'll be detailing the car at my house around 8-9 AM.. anyone is welcome to join me and shoot the breeze....
Around 12 PM I'll be at Haynes Point in Washington DC (about 20 minutes from my house, its a public park on a peninsula between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, lots of parking and picnic tables) I'll bring cooler full of soda's and some KFC depending on who is down, then that'll determine how much food i'll bring... PHOTO SHOOT and VIDEO SHOOT - check out the links at the bottom of the post for pic and maps (gladly accepting donations for food and drinks, but not necessary)
(PLAN B - go to alternative park and BBQ !!! after - Dave and Busters in Rockville.. food.. games.. bowling...)
3 PM - Roadtrip
driving along the George Washington Parkway and exit onto 495 back south. Meet at my house in Fairfax
4 PM ish - Mod time... anyone who needs help installing bolt ons, or what not.. i'll have my floor jack and stands, and a torch and breaker bar ready...
Sunset, get some nice pics at the park across from my APT complex.. hit some golf balls if you want..
8 PM ish or what ever time we are done... get the F* outta dodge.. i'm planning on driving to NC that night... if everything goes okay.
RAINY DAY PLAN: Meet at Tyson's Corner Mall parking lot by the movie theater at an empty part of the lot. Shoot the breeze, take pics, move our cars go inside and eat, and maybe see a movie... and be mad it wasn't sunny.
Haynes Point Links.

I have not seen anything on New Tib
Time to start posting the names of possible attendees. :phone:
I'm assuming most people are coming to the park. :redface:
Got a question, when we park will we be close enough to the cars ?
Are you going to need a permit ? :confused:
We have to get one last meet before winter... (humm daylight saving the weekend before, gonna get dark early) :mad:
theWorst
10-21-2007, 11:56 PM
thats me on EClub.. i'm Cite 3.. lol
close enough to the cars? the park has a road that drives alll around the peninsula... along the road are several parking lots that park parralel, and also the conventional kind.. if we are luck, the tour bus lots will be free...
but either case, the only people to worry about occupying tables are fishermen and the occasional picnickers.

That would be awsome!! Sounds like alot of fun! There is a small park accross the street from my house with a parking lot and grilles and a small roof type thing for if it rains, but i understand thats a little too far for most people. That does sound like a really good idea to grille our own food!!

This sounds great, didn't know there were so many people from the NOVA/DC area on these boards. Count me as tentative because of a previous commitment in the morning. Can't bring my Elantra either since clutch is slipping. :( Gonna have to bring my Prius instead, no laughing please. With ElantraClub site down I can't find the details here of where everyone is meeting. Is there another link to the details? Like the address of "theWorts" place?

o and for you MD guys....... not sure if you heard about this:
http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119387
its a Tib Meet in Maryland next weekend.
2 in the morning and I'm just getting home. The Saab must have auto-pilot because I think I slept the last hour of the drive back.
I was up to my armpits in Ed's car most of the day (as seen in pics above)... sorry no pics taken by me, not sure any of the 9³ Combi either as I was parked in the next group of cars down.
Ed, glad you've got heat working in your car now, and that we got most of the things done and it's winter-ready too. Still can't believe with 105k on that original timing belt there were no cracks and it still looked pretty decent. Sorry we didn't get it done sooner in the day... I killed the daytime-pic & cruising opportunities.

any more (possibly better quality) Pics? did you guys go to Dave & Busters?.. Did you want to see more picture of Tom at work ? ;) I learned allot watching the timing belt change. ;) Ed check you PMs. Due to day light saving it got dark early. Ed took us on a great back road trip, only wish it was day time to enjoy it more... :cool:
Is there a pic of Ed's new wheels. coolness from Hyundai. Yes check out Tom bowing to them :)
We headed to Tyson Corner (it was closer than D &B & it was getting late) but the traffic was wicked :eek: , we did good to stick together thru all the Stop signs. Also the roads there are tricky if you are not from the area, especially with all the extra traffic,
Thank Gawd for my GPS, I could not get up on the main road out of Best Buy (there is a main 3 or 4 lane road that I was suppose to be on). You have to cross a 2 way road, then cross traffic in the opposite way that you need to go to get to the road...
I did find an easier & closer way home with the GPS, going up 29 to 70 to the Baltimore Beltway, rather than 495 & 95...
I forgot you name AGAIN, Pizza warmer <smile>, you left before the rest of the people had some money for you. I am impressed with Internet in your car whoo hoo.
I'm alway impressed by the mods on all the cars & every one has a story about their cars & glad to see people show up even if thier Elantra could not make it. ... Lots of good laughs ..
Tom your car was awesome , I'll have to go look up the info on it

Eric never showed up, i called him and he said he would come friday night, and saturday afternoon.....
i'll check out the MD tib meet... i dont know if i want to even look at my engine bay right now after it being on the operating table for 6 hours... lol... i kind of want to keep the hood close and forever forget there is anything under there................ after i install these hella horns.. LOL

Who's My xd sucks *** in the snow i almost died last year at less than 1 mph stopping at the bottom of a hill (slid through an intersection and had to e-brake the car sideways to miss a plow/salt truck who never stopped at the stop sign!) I guess if the guy had stopped i wouldn't have had to take evasive action but still I don't put alot of confidence in the car in bad weather. Now empty parking lots are lots O' fun in the xd!

that is true, but what i am saying, is i was expecting NO traction, and NO reaction to steering as some people where making it seem, i took some sharp turns and drove it pretty rough, to get a feel for how it would react out on the highway. i know that there are MANY more factors that are put into play when going out onto major roads and all..
The snow is just now starting to stick to our roads around here :(
Goin to work tomorrow morning shall be fun

I just spent 2 hours driving around in the snow just to get back into the feel of it. The roads are pretty slick and i wasn't sure about the 195/50/15's on the car right now and it wasn't that bad at all. The tires are all seasons but I usually put the winter treads on since i have a set of em but i may not need them. I also did a good bit of parking lot driving to see how the car performed in a skid and to practice my steering and counter steering. It was fun to practice but never compares to real life situations

Case in point: driving home on Rte 322 from classes today, I was passed by Dodge Stratus, which was moving rather quickly. perhaps it was due to the mad powah he was putting down which required him to have a large aluminum wing, big APC stickers and a tailpipe tip, or perhaps its driver was just a jackass. He comes riding up behind me until he within two feet of my rear bumper, hits it to pass me (His car was wobbling back and forth a bit in the snow as he did this, BTW) gets in front and proceeds to damn near slide into the back of a tractor trailer...sheesh.

NJ was bad for black ice (My Reason for studed tires). The XD handles alot better than most cars out there. I slid once cause a trash truck checked up in front of me (Note: Air brakes =much better in snow than standard disc brakes). I was able to get up hills (Before the Snow Tires ) by taking a little pressure out of the tires. The key to all Winter Weather driving is .....Common Sense!
Go only as fast as you feel safe going (For those with this great trait)
and Slow the **** down and live another day!! (For those who dont)
Don't let other assholes out there push you to go faster.
P.S. Drivers safety training in canada was great for the skid pad. Try pulling a full on oilfield logging truck out of a skid at 60 MPH to avoid pop up pedestriens and animals. Again Great Fun ,But in reality, there would be no Anything going 60 MPH in heavy Snow. It's all Aboot the common sense , eh?
