Thinking of small west virginia meet

[Artic]

I know there are quite a few of us west virginians now as well as our brothers and sisters close to us in Ohio.I was thinking of a get together to hang out or cruise for a night.Just an idea toss up where you think a good place to meet would be for equal travel.I was thinking like Parkersburg close to ohio and wv or we can go a lil deeper into the state if needed.Toss up some dates or ideas if ya wish.

['01GT]

Parkersburg sounds good to me, but I'm open to other suggestions too. Would be nice if we could get some people together in this area.

[Artic]

I dunno 36 reads and two posts who knows don't seem like much interest and I pmed everyone I knew from wv or close in ohio

['01GT]

Well that sucks. I was hoping there would be some interest in a meet.

[MastaBoxcutta]

Hey! Im up for it! I live right across from Parkersburg. Ill go even if its a small meet! Throw out some dates

[Artic]

I would show long as other ppl would I have weekends off saturday night sundays and monday durring the day for the next few months.

['01GTgirl]

i would try to make it down, but august is completely crazy for me, and September 12th is the big annual philly meet, so it would have to be way after that...

[Artic]

Hmm have to see then try to drum up some more interest too :) I am pretty much up for anytime so if anyone has a better place or a date we could all shoot for post here or pm me....ps a meet with erika would rock ;)

[MastaBoxcutta]

Same here. Im up for anything.

['01GT]

If thte meet is held in the northern part of the state maybe a few more from PA will come. Just a thought I decided to throw out there.

[Artic]

:lol: I am pretty northern its an hour to pittsburgh and a 45 min trip for parkersburg.

[jashley12]

[ironray75]

[Artic]

[crazeyGT]

[Artic]

Well I am up for anything on a sat or sunday so I wast thinking late august or early september :)

[crazeyGT]

hehehe yeah i have saturdays usually off, sundays are a little iffy , :D

[Silver99SE]

I'd be up for it. I'm in South Charleston so Parkersburg would be ok. I usually have to work weekends though but I'd be able to take off a weekend with enough notice.

[jashley12]

later in sept would be good

[Artic]

Cools I guess late september it shall be then.What would work better for ppl a saturday or a sunday? we have the 18th,19th,25th,or the 26.My car club has taken the next weekend from me recently due to a car show they are puttin on on 10/2/4

[Silver99SE]

Well, can I suggest the 25th or 26th? I actually already have that weekend off. :D Either day will be fine.

[Artic]

ok one vote for that weekend :)

['01GT]

I vote for a Saturday. I might be working night shift again by then, which means I would be working Sunday thru Thursday 3:30-midnight.

[jashley12]

:agree2:
I suggest the parking lot by Comfort Suites. Everyone should be able to find that pretty easy. I can give directions if needed.

[Silver99SE]

If you could give me directions from I-77 after you get onto WV14 I would appreciate it. I can make it to Mineral Wells, just tell me where the Comfort Suites is.

[jake1196]

Count me in!!!!!!!!

[Artic]

mineral wells is fine to me not bad drive :)

['01GT]

Since your coming from Charleston, turn right onto 14 it is just past McDonald's, BP and Exxon - it's on your left.

To everyone:
The parking lot I'm talking about is not the actual Comfort Suites parking lot. It's a lot right by the road across from the Exxon station, some people have cars setting there that are for sale.

[Artic]

I know for the most part where your talking about you darn southerners ;) Also I may be able to talk to ole man kelly bout some gaoc vinyl :)

[MastaBoxcutta]

Im In. Make the date positive so i can take the day off and clean my car lol.

[Silver99SE]

Sounds good to me.

[MastaBoxcutta]

[Silver99SE]

So what's this about GAOC vinyl? I'd definitely like one. How big? How much $?

[Artic]

The same vinyl logo that can be purchased at our gaoc store.It comes in several sizes.I was gonna see if i could get some free ones to give out or something along those lines :)

[Silver99SE]

Ah nice.

And what time? Early? Then maybe we can all get lunch somewhere. Don't forget your cameras everyone.

[MastaBoxcutta]

Yeah im pumped. free vinyl.. Nice :-)

[Artic]

Being a mod helps out sometime with my hookups ;) Actually the gaoc is awesome just lemme know if your comfirmed not telling Kelly till I get a final number :)

[MastaBoxcutta]

Im Confirmed. All Systems Check-Go.

[Artic]

I counted out vinyl and yes we are confirmed.Just gotta do some finishing touches what to do and so fourth :)

[Silver99SE]

I'm confirmed.

[jake1196]

I'll be there

[diamondT]

Got room for one more? Sounds like it could be fun. I've never gone to one of these meets before. It's not a bad drive from Morgantown (as long as the weather holds-out).

[Artic]

Sure we always have room for more ppl :)

[jashley12]

confirmed just now gettin my wing on...lol.

[diamondT]

My car is bone stock. I haven't even tinted the glass yet. All I can do is shine it up, and see what mods I want to do first by checking out some other rides. I've had it a year, but it's only got 7k miles, so I think it's time to take it out for a weekend ride. Planning on being there. Hope lots of people come out.

[jashley12]

got wing on now....just need to fill in holes....lol. sorry iknow it doesnt pertain to this post but just so happy....lol

[jashley12]

need make a time. like i guess around 10 to 11am...then figure out what to get into. there isnt much in mineral wells to do. except dirt track racing. maybe we could cruise to parkersburg....any suggestions??? ill try and get a hold of my cousin and find out some things to do in parksburg.... i hope to see some mods(ideas)......

[Artic]

Ya its not too far to parkersburg from there at all.I am completely stock with this sc/t just carbon fiber badges.Its nothing like my 01gt's mods it had.Ill have a grill kit and some cabon fiber accents inside maybe.

[jashley12]

i moded the inside pretty good but youll have to wait to see them...

[SmokinGT00]

Hey ya'll, I'm interested in driving out there. I'll have to check and see how far it is and take a look at the money situation and let ya know.

Mineral Wells to Parkersburg, be there in about 3 minutes actually. I work in Mineral Wells and end up in Parkersburg once or twice a week.

[Silver99SE]

I'm pretty much stock too. By the time of the meet I might have some interior vinyl and a CAI.

[diamondT]

When I bought this car, I had in mind to get everything I wanted right from the start this time. I have the Monsoon with XM (not using). That was one of my main wishes besides the V6, 4 wheel discs, and all of the plushies. I have a red '91 also, and a red '98 GPGT, but they don't have as many options as my '03 GAGT. When it gets to the end of the warranty and close to paid for, it's going to get nuts.

[Artic]

:lol: with a beater and my 04 it will be a while before it gets major mods.Insurance and car payment pretty much kick my arse right now :(

[diamondT]

I know that feeling too. I just bought the '98 Grand Prix GT in January (after getting the GA in July '03), and my insurance went up once again. We wanted a newer one, but the car only had 45k miles, so I couldn't pass it up. My wife has been wanting one for years, ever since she bought the '91 Grand Am new. The GP was just too expensive for her then. We have 3 red Pontiacs now, not on purpose, red just seems to find us. All 3 came from #1 Cochran in Pittsburgh too. It's starting to get weird.

[diamondT]

Anybody got any news about getting together? What's the plan?

[Artic]

Anytime that day is good for me just let me know.Do we wanna meet up early and hangout or later in the day and then cruise and hangout?

[MastaBoxcutta]

anytime is good for me.

[Silver99SE]

I'd say noonish or afternoon so that the people that drive from OH and VA won't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drive out.

[akeller]

Well guys I would be somewhat interested in the meet depending on when. I know I live in Indy, but I have family in Huntington and I could stay there and drive up for the meet. So is the location Parkersburg as of right now? And what is the date?

[Silver99SE]

Saturday, September 25th in Mineral Wells. That's just down the road from Parkersburg.

[Jigga9JayZ]

i'm also interested....i'm all the way over in shepherdstown right now for school...but could drive over to p-burg, then back home to buckhannon for sunday.
as of now its a probably...lol

[urweak]

I live in pittsburgh so i could probably come. Can I wear my "Its all relative in WV" T-shirt from A&F?

[Artic]

[crazeyGT]

[Artic]

Ill get ya the exact address of the lot and my cell number marta :)

['01GT]

The lot isn't that hard to find.
If you are coming from the north on I-79 - take the Mineral Wells exit, turn left at the light and go across the overpass, the lot is next to the BP station on the left in front of the Comfort Suites.
Hope this helps some.

[crazeyGT]

['01GT]

Well after you get the route mapped if you need any help with directions just ask.
