5th Annual GAOC Moncton Meet, April 23-24, 2005

[sunrunner_pei]

Damn that sucks. Like I said earlier though, at least you're OK. A car can be replaced. :( Keep your chin up, you'll be back on your feet again soon.

[99GrandAMSE]

We had snow here too and I did see salt trucks out and wasn't sure if they were spreading it or not ... but, it doesn't appear they were which is a good thing!

[99GrandAMSE]

Sorry to hear about the car ... glad everyone is OK :)

[RedGrandAm2003]

ya, what Shawn and Kelly said. That sucks. I wish there was something i could do to help, but I cant. I'd buy ya a new GAGT if i was a millionaire... but its the thought that counts ;)

Edit: Yeah they salted here, its still on the roads :( You can see the white powdery crap on there... Even now, at 2:30 you can see tracks through it. BUT... its supposed to rain, so its all good.. NO NEED FOR BLAZERS. lol

(looks out window)

Ok... there it is.

[2001GAGT]

OK If I would have know you were driving the route. You pretty much drove by my house. I figurend you were goign the same way you went last year.

[JMILLS]

Actually I did go the same way I went last year. I printed off the map and never looked at it. Then I drove to St. John (by memory) before looking at it and went "Wait, this isn't where I am" so I figured the rest out by my memory.

[sunrunner_pei]

Awesome, Jason! I'll see ya tomorrow, Bud!

[2001GAGT]

OH OK, Glade you made it.

[99GrandAMSE]

Glad you're there Jason ... see you tomorrow!! :)

[WAS HIS]

Hope to meet a few of ya's tomorrow. SV513 is following us up.

oh....i dont know if anyone can answer this....i ran a CARFAX on my ride and it says its an SE2. correct me if im wrong, but didnt the SE2's come with 16" rims and a sunroof? or is that only GT's?

[99GrandAMSE]

SE2's came with 16" rims (in 99 anyway and IIRC, 00s did too) but the sunroof was still an option :) ... in 99, the SE2s also came with the 'holed' head rests.

[WAS HIS]

well that bites cause i got 15" steelies with the fancy "wheel cover", no holed headrests, no sunroof too. I think ill just stick to SE...not even label it an SE1....lol

[[SV513]]

yep yep im a tag along..lol

everyone have a safe and fun trip!!

see yas tomorrow
*does the don't rain dance*

[RedGrandAm2003]

Heh... well I.... get to wash the interior of my car tomorrow.... and 2 of my friends are tagging along... one of them is drinking before he comes, and he's scared of you people for some reason. Weird friends.... I might leave him somewhere though ;) lmao

[sunrunner_pei]

We're here, and we're surfing under the influence. :D

[JMILLS]

Get off my internet!

[[SV513]]

i was there..lol seen all your cars parked in the back of the lot didnt see any of yas inside.. like id know what yas looked like.. but yea seen your cars

[sunrunner_pei]

We waited at McDonald's for ya but you didn't show. :( We're heading to Crystal Palace around 10:00 tomorrow morning for breakfast, you're welcome to join us. :)

[RedGrandAm2003]

yeeeeeehaw lol... Shawn is drunk .. tsk tsk

[WAS HIS]

Nice rides ladies and gents! Specially Sunrunners and someones that said TOWER on the plate. My club was parked right in front of ya's, well, most of them. We had a Lancer with a Decepticon logo on it, Orange Mazdaspeed, few Civics

Dunno if you saw my GA, it was the silver one with the headlight covers on it, almost in front of ya's.

But all i can say is WOW....your rides are totally awesome:D

[RedGrandAm2003]

MINE WAS THE RED STOCK ONE.. ISNT IT COOL!?!?! lmao... Yeah I seen you.. Dont you have custom tails? You could have seen me park right by Scotts car. then I followed you... and decided to turn back and look for the GAOC members. and then came back. lol :p and dont park infront of our cars again :) I think it was you. lol still got that pic? if it was you that is. lol

[[SV513]]

yea we didnt get in moncton till 1:30 ish looked all over in the car show didnt see anyone that stood out i wont make it there tomorrow . im back in sj and outta money.. atleast i got to see your cars tho

[RedGrandAm2003]

Pff.. lol I seen your car... I laughed... its awesome. You gonna get it painted now? lol

[[SV513]]

oh yea.. gotta save some money. switch the doors and get the car painted. we know shes got some life left in her..lol

steve post that pis you took when we was leaving ..lol

[RedGrandAm2003]

Lol..... hmm. by the way.. the guy with the TOWER plate... We donno who he is... he just thought it was Grand Am Parking or something I donno.... lol But he's got a nice engine compartment. lol

[RedGrandAm2003]

wow, already thinking of anothing GA Meet! lol! Well... MINI-MEET.... Since we lost our friend Scott, I was thinking since i'm only 30 min away, i might take a spin out to SJ for the fun of it, seeing how the farthest away from home I went was only Scoudouc. lol If anyone wants to tag along, just say something, i might even start a new thread. It probably wont be this coming weekend but maybe the next... so i can save some moneys. Maybe Richard will wanna join up since he's got his summers on. lol... Cant get lost to Saint John though... Just roll down your windows and start sniffin. :)

[[SV513]]

lol start sniffin ..lol that only works in parts of the west on the wrong days or parts of the east on the wrong nights

[WAS HIS]

lol....yeah, the boys dared me to park it sideways for a pic so for the fun of it i did. Was a great day up in Moncton but DAMN....we could tell we were back in SJ...it was raining...lol

I wish i had custom tails, the only thing i did is replace the stock bulbs for Euro's in the tails, even the reverse bumper lights too.

There was a red one following me just before we left with 2 girls in it, they had clear tails on their GA. I'm thinking on getting the ones that look like carbon fiber. I give it approx 2-3 years and i will enter my(my wifes) GA in the shows. Got big plans but i need to build my garage first.

and if your lucky, i might just post that pic. :cool:

[[SV513]]

and most importanly.. my car is still as it left apart from the half tank of gas i used.. fun times . i never laughted soo hard in my life at the FRS comments. .

[RedGrandAm2003]

Yeah we seen the chicks as we were leaving too! man we left at nearly the same time then. jeez thats a kick in the nads. lol EXCEPT... like Shawn said.. they had a bad taste in cars... they got out and looked at a Honda Prelude for sale...

[[SV513]]

i shoulda put a forsale sign on my car..lol .. half a pack of tim bits or best offer. .lol

[RedGrandAm2003]

Hey no way man.. it made it to Moncton and back...... half pack of tims and half cup of coffee.

[young buck]

[prescill]

Were was everyone staying or gathering. I was up saturday night around 9 pm to 12am, I drove in every hotel parking lot, looking for some ga's, nothing. Were did everyone hide the cars.
I seen a few driving, but none that i would know.

[99GrandAMSE]

... we were staying at the Delta :)

[JMILLS]

Well. I made it back to the states. Not even an ID check at the border, just a "Where you Going, what you brining back?"

[sunrunner_pei]

Originally posted by prescill

The Delta lot was pretty packed, so our cars were pretty scattered around the lot. Certainly wouldn't stick out as a group of GAs, that's for sure. :lol:

Sounds like there's gonna be a SJ meet soon, you could go to that. And of course, after Albany, we may just do another PEI meet this fall.

[JMILLS]

PEI in the fall! PEI in the fall! PEI in the fall!

[sunrunner_pei]

hahaha Will you drive up again for a fall PEI meet, Jason? :poke:

[JMILLS]

Well.... duh! of course I will.

[sunrunner_pei]

:yippee:

Well, once Albany is out of the way we'll start planing a fall meet. I say we have it a little aerlier this year to avoid such a hard time finding a place to stay. :)

[RedGrandAm2003]

lol. I'm good for a PEI meet :p DESPITE ALREADY Driving up there like 2 -3 months before :p I love driving. mmmmm lol Have a nice drive home Shawn?

[[SV513]]

pei in fall .. i like the sounds of that.. maybe by that time ill have a new paint job and new new tires...

[RedGrandAm2003]

That reminds me... I walked by your car and I thought those tires didnt belong on that car... lol they look.. HUGE.. well the rims do. I like them :p

[[SV513]]

i mite try and paint the rims.. who knows.. seeing your all's cars parked togather in the lot.. i gotta do something nice

[99GrandAMSE]

[sunrunner_pei]

No, you just didn't go to the last one. :lol:

[RedGrandAm2003]

LOL! Hmmm.. Either way I dont care. The last PEI meet looked nice though! But it costs an extra 40 bucks, unless you wanna live with Shawn. :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]

Originally posted by sunrunner_pei

... we didn't have one last year so the next one after 2003 should be here :)

[sunrunner_pei]

Halifax was always a summer meet.

[JMILLS]

Do they have pizza covered steak there?

[sunrunner_pei]

:funny:

I'm sure we can make one for you. With Hot Hamburger for dessert.

[JMILLS]

No No No.... Hot Hamburgers were so '04... Now its all about Kel's Pizza Covered Steak and Room 105.

[99GrandAMSE]

Well last year, we had ONE after Moncton so I assumed this year, we'd still have ONE ... I was going to organize a BBQ at my house this year ... figured later in the summer, maybe towards to end ... wanted to give people lots of notice and give me time to install my new patio lights :lol:

[99GrandAMSE]
