Georgia anyone??

[lilniemo]

Hey, I just took a job down here in Georgia - from Northern Indiana. Where are all the GA owner's in GA at? I know you guys are out there, looking for some folks for a meet. I'm just north of the ATL so drop me a line.

~*~NieMo~*~

"I feel the need . . . the need for speed."

[thesouth1]

how fer north of ATL?

[lilniemo]

I'm in Woodstock, takes me about 20 minutes to get down to Atanta on a good day with no traffic. I see you're from Augusta, I just drove through there this afternoon. My reserve unit is out of Charleston, SC.

[daver]

Not from GA, but if ya spend much time in Chas.....

[rpm77]

Any body here going to NOPI 10.18 and 10.19 at Atlanta GA? I heard that the Get Wax Tour is giving away a 240 sx. Let me know, maybe we can meet up?

[GMjonn]

gwinnett county here...............

[skateswitch97]

walton county right here, well i live closer to Athens, not to far from atlanta, skateswitch97@hotmail.com id be intrested in a meet

[nathan_w1]

I live just north of Atl in Hall County

[lilniemo]

Hey - anyone still interested in a meet let's get to talking! I've been down here a year already and no meets yet. I'll be picking up my new ride tomorrow. Some of you might have read about my '00 GT - we were in a pretty bad wreck and she didn't come out too well. Anyway - let's get to planning for a meet. I can be reached @ lilniemo@hotmail.com ~ Laura

[nathan_w1]

I'm up for it.

[lilniemo]

Sweet, let's see who else we can get. We're also going to need a location. I'm heading to Charleston, SC next weekend until March 9th on military orders so I'm game for any time after that.

[nathan_w1]

Have you heard of a site called www.teamsega.com? Its a smaller version of this site, but all the members are in the southeast. We may be able to get some more people to get together from that site.

[lilniemo]

Sounds good to me, I'll put a post up there tonight.

[skateswitch97]

yeah i might be up for a meet, maybe in atlanta or something? or hey commerce (atlanta dragyway) should be opening back up soon..

[lilniemo]

Dragway sounds like fun. I put a post up on teamsega.com and so far no posts. Toss some ideas out there as far as dates go. Like I said I've got military orders from 20 Feb - 10 March then they are sending me to Texas from April 10-18. Other than that I'm game for a meet anytime. I just picked up my new ride today so I'm ready to get to work on the mods and show her off! :)

[nathan_w1]

Here's the schedule for Atlanta Dragway. http://atlantadragway.com/apcm/templates/schedule.asp?articleid=9321&zoneid=38&navsource=2006%20Schedule

Opening night is going to be a very, very busy night. So if we wanted to run our cars, it would be hard to get many runs in. Not that I don't want to go race, but its not fun waiting forever to only run once.

Oh yeah, team sega doesn't have as many members as this site, so it may take longer to get some replys.

[skateswitch97]

i think we should wait a week or two, opening night will be backed, but when we go if we get there right at 6 we can get alot of runs in before everything really gets going at about 7, after that you get about 1 run in each session

[nathan_w1]

Anyone want to set a date?

[lilniemo]

Yeah let's do that. I'll be back from Texas prolly late on the 19th of April, so I'm definetly game for any day after that. Suggestions anyone?? How about Saturday, April 22nd? Yay or nay?

**had to edit the post, I just checked the Atlanta Dragway website, they are having a car show that day. Here's the link:

http://www.yearone.com/Events/TYOE/Activity+Information/Car+Show/default.aspx

Keep in mind, I'm just throwing ideas out there - give me some feedback and let me know. My ride is completely stock at this point, not sure if it's ready for a show yet.

[nathan_w1]

That is an awsome car show. I went last year at to the events at Road Atlanta. Tons of sweet cars, celebrities from the show Overhaulin', Speed Channel and the show Horse Power. Not really a good place for us to have a meet but still a good show. My opinion is that we don't do it that weekend, at least not there.

[lilniemo]

That's cool - let me know what sounds good.

[nathan_w1]

what is your schedule like in March?

[lilniemo]

I'll be back on March 10th then just work every day until 3:30 p.m. - weekends too.

[nathan_w1]

Well I pretty flexable, so whenever you think you can I most likely can be there. The only time I know for sure I can't is March 19th. I'm going to the NASCAR race.

[skateswitch97]

sorry ive been out of it but i just got my bored tb put in and my cat back piping will be done tomorrow so as long as you let me know a week or so in advance im good to go, ireally wanna see if my quarter mile time drops, cold air, bored tb and 2.25 inch bat back hopefully it should, i think just losing the ram air i ran last time will help

[skateswitch97]

ill be at the track tomorrow night the 16th just so you guys know

[lilniemo]

I'm broke or else I'd come out too. I've got $100 until next week :(

So are we all going to meet up or what? Time is a wasting and I just found out I'm getting laid off from work on April 7 so my mod plans have literally gone down the drain. Guess I'll be having a stock GT for a little longer than I had planned.

[nathan_w1]

Can anyone commit to a date? Anyone want to throw one out there? Do we want to meet at the track or somewhere else?

[skateswitch97]

i need alittle time now too, im gonna be busy plus im going to have headers withing a month so i dont want to go until i get them, arr i have to get my returns back to get new brakes before i go to the track also, i dont know, maybe sooner, you gouys wanna set a day in the summer? or maybe may, idk ill try to keep up with this thread

[nathan_w1]

Summer is good with me

[BiGSHUN]

pretty much any weekend is good for me...

[-grandamfan99-]

there yall are... new atl guy here, l'ville to be exact, wuts the deal goin on? i got a possible meeting spot idea thats fun and a good place to show ur cars... ne1 who lives above atlanta might have heard of the gainsville strip? its kinda like the panama city strip during spring break and me and my buds go every weekend starting from this time till summer ends... its a blast and there has been sumtimes thousands of people there ridin sum of the nicest cars in ga in a strip like enviornment... girls cars and cops who could ask for more? gimme a holler back if interested, like i said its open friday and saturday nights every weekend, till sumtimes 5 am :P and its a cool place to hang.... ttyl

[nathan_w1]

Are you talking about Gainesville Georga as a cruise place? If you are, its a joke and NOTHING like Panama.

[lilniemo]

So are we all going to sit around here and talk about meeting up or are we actually going to do it? I've actually gotten into a wreck and totalled out my '00 GT and gotten an '03 SC/T to replace it and we still haven't set a date. Who's in, where are we meeting, and when? Let's roll people.

[nathan_w1]

I'm in. Do we want to meet at Atlanta Dragway, or since most of us live in the Altanta area we could meet somewhere in Gwinnett or around the Mall Of Georgia. What about the weekend of May 20th?

[lilniemo]

I'm going to be up in Indiana that weekend, but I'm game for the weekend before.

[nathan_w1]

So May 13th then? I'll have to check my work schedule to see if I'm off, unless we want to meet after 2pm. I'm thinking somewhere around the mall of Ga would be a good meeting place.

[lilniemo]

That sounds good to me. I'll probably have to work until 2pm myself - anybody else up for the 13th? Let's get a definite place and time down. I'm logging off for the night, gotta get up way before the crack of dawn for work.

[nathan_w1]

I found out that I'm off that Saturday, so I'm good to go on the 13th.

[AndThereWasGreg]

I'd be willing to meet up at the mall of Ga since I am not too familiar with the area out that way.

[nathan_w1]

Yeah, I'm thinking the Mall of Georgia would be the best place since most everyone lives closer to the mall than they do Commerce. So are we setting a date of May 13th?

[AndThereWasGreg]

Sounds good to me.

[lilniemo]

Ditto - I'm in Woodstock and I can get to the Mall of Georgia, but anything else out that way would require directions. I'll be out of town 'til Sunday night this week, so I prolly won't be back on until then. Who else is in?

[nathan_w1]

Ok, so we agreed on Saturday May 13th. What time, and where at the mall do we want to meet? I'm thinking sometime in the afternoon.

[AndThereWasGreg]

Around 2ish? and in the "Dicks" parking lot? haha

[lilniemo]

Sounds good, weather permitting . . . who else is in besides the 3 of us?

[nathan_w1]

2 is good.

[AndThereWasGreg]

Damn, I forgot I have something I have to do until about 4. Is there anyway we can move it til around 5? I'd really like to go. Either that or maybe that Sun. at 2 oclock the 14th. What do yall say?

[nathan_w1]

Thats fine with me I reckon. That will give me more time to clean my car anyway.

[lilniemo]

LIVE from South Carolina- yeah I said I wouldn't log in but I have found a way!!! Soooooooo Sunday is good, is that what we're doing?

[AndThereWasGreg]

May 14th at 2:00 pm @ the Mall of Ga in the "Dicks" parking lot. Sound good guys?

[lilniemo]

sounds good to me

[nathan_w1]

Yep

[nathan_w1]

I just realized that May 14th is Mother's Day. So there's no way that I can make it that day.

[lilniemo]

ughhhhhhhhhhhh - ok, time for a new date

[AndThereWasGreg]

Dang it.

[nathan_w1]

We could either do the next Saturday or Sunday afternoon which would be the 20th or 21st.

[AndThereWasGreg]

Well def not the 20th cause i turn 21 on the 19th lol and well i wont be driving for a day or so lol

[lilniemo]

well first off - happy early birthday!!

sooooooo let's shoot for june. i've got to go to my base for drill the 3 & 4 and my birthday is the 10th (woo hoo, #24 i'm gettin so old!!) so i'll be out of town for that - other than that i'm good - what's everyone else's schedule of you know that far in advance.

[nathan_w1]

My birthday is June 25th, so the 24th and 25th I can't make it. Just about any other time than that I can most likely make it.

[AndThereWasGreg]

I say we try and do it May 21st.

[lilniemo]

*lol* okay - so we all have birthdays within like a month of each other. so as of right now we are looking at the 17th or 18th of June - what do you guys think?? ehhhhhh - or the 21st of May, sorry just read that post!

[nathan_w1]

I'm cool with May 21st. What time?

[lilniemo]

I dunno, you guys pick - doesn't really matter to me.

[nathan_w1]

3?

[lilniemo]

that'll work for me ~

[StreetWK]

[lilniemo]

i'm in the reserves and stationed at charleston afb, but i'm only there once a month for drill.

[nathan_w1]

So is this set? May 21st at 3 in the "Dicks" parking lot at the Mall of Georgia? I guess we should meet towards the back of the parking lot so we will have some room to park.

[AndThereWasGreg]

I Agree with Nathan

[lilniemo]

Sounds good to me. I'll do my best to find the place - may take me awhile since I haven't been there before!

[nathan_w1]

It's easy to find. Just turn into the mall from highway 20 and keep going around and you will see it. If you want I can PM you my cell phone number in case you get lost.

[lilniemo]

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. If you see a 219 area code come up then it's me. I looked directions up on mapquest, looks like it shouldn't be too hard to get to. Now let's hope the weather will be good!

[nathan_w1]

Ok, so now that we have a set date and time how many people can we expect?

[lilniemo]

Well I'm still in for now, but I just found out tonight my mom's in the hospital up north in Indiana. My dad said she was having chest pains so they took her to the ER and they admitted her. I guess they are doing some tests and what not right now so ehhhhhhhhh. If things don't get better I'll probably be heading back up there, but I will keep you guys posted.

[nathan_w1]

So are we still on for this weekend?

[lilniemo]

i'm still in - my mom's doing better :)

[AndThereWasGreg]

I am also still in.

[nathan_w1]

sweet!

[lilniemo]

yeah, about time! hopefully the weather will hold out!

[lilniemo]

Hey Greg, were you anywhere near Marietta Wednesday afternooon? I saw a black SC/T behind me in my rearview as I was heading home from work.

[nathan_w1]

Laura, can you PM me your cell phone number?

[pepmyser]

Hey i need help my fiances 2003 grand am security light blinks and it wont turn on? any ideas

[AndThereWasGreg]

Nope, sorry I was at work still haha

[lilniemo]

[AndThereWasGreg]

Yea, I am still in. What about Nathan?

[lilniemo]

I don't know, but I'm ready for some sleep *lol*

[AndThereWasGreg]

You are still in right? Did he give you his #?

[lilniemo]

yeah shit, i forgot lol - i'll send him a text and see if he's still going
gimme a sec

[lilniemo]

Yeah, he's in . . . so lemme get going - see you guys at 3-ish

[AndThereWasGreg]

[lilniemo]

Hey here are the pix I took - have at them . . .

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e375/lilniemo/GAsMay06001.jpg

These first two turned out pretty good - had to shoot at an angle to get all of three of them . . .

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e375/lilniemo/GAsMay06002.jpg



http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e375/lilniemo/GAsMay06003.jpg

Don't know how the BMW got in the pic^


http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e375/lilniemo/GAsMay06004.jpg

Should've gotten a shot more head on, but ehhhhh it turned out

[AndThereWasGreg]

The pictures look great. Nice work heh

[nathan_w1]

Those are some shiny grand ams. nice pictures

[lilniemo]

i think we need to recruit some more ga owners, bigger meet next time - you guys in?

[AndThereWasGreg]

Yea, I'm in.

[-grandamfan99-]

where did you guys meet up at?

[lilniemo]

Mall of Georgia - it was just the three of us - we've been trying to get a group together for a few months so we were finally like, let's just do this! We are looking to recruit some more fellow GA owners from GA to get a another meet going.

[nathan_w1]

I'm in.

[-grandamfan99-]

id be willing, im hoping this will be during a weekend cause im a mad worker during the week :P, give me a time and ill see what i can do

[lilniemo]

Definitely a weekend thing ~ we met up on a Sunday afternoon last time - so if you're in that makes 4 . . . we still need to recruit more GA owners

[-grandamfan99-]

well go ahead and count me in... it would be nice to get a local grand am meeting going on, course i dont have the gt you guys have :( but i love my baby, lets get a date and time planned. Im available all weekends anytime (dont like to clutter my free time) so whenever you guys feel is a good time it'll be ok here

[lilniemo]

Sounds good to me, my next two weekends are booked. I've got to go to South Carolina for drill this weekend then I'm heading home to Indiana the following weekend to see the family and celebrate my birthday, but after that I'm good to go. Let's get some more people and set a date!

[-grandamfan99-]

well in the case i forget * heaven forbid* happy future b-day and have fun with the family, i always love going to ohio to see mine :D, soon as i spot more georgia peps ill call them out. Nathan and greg are already in right?

[lilniemo]

Yeah they are in - we had a pretty good spot last time - we could've definitely fit quite a few more GA's where we parked. Thanks for the happy b'day ~ I honestly don't feel like it's been a year already since I hit 23, it feels like when I hit 21 the world just stopped turning age wise *lol*

[-grandamfan99-]

dont ruin my upcoming lol... big 21 in a month yay, now ill be able to legally do wut i have been doing since i was 14 :P

[lilniemo]

So when do we want to do this meet? All of my weekends are open execpt the first two in July (one I'm going home and the other I have drill).

In other news, for my b'day my folks paid to get my windows tinted (and I must say the contrast w/the tint & the silver paint looks awesome!) and my boyfriend bought me the stage 3 cold air intake from doctorspeed.com (not installed yet, going to do it the 4th of July weekend) . . . anyway, throw out some dates for the meet!

[-grandamfan99-]

hmm here's a few... any weekend, just make it in a week advanced atleast so i can clear the schedule. If you have either greg or nathans number or can pm them ask them when would be good, just give me a date and ill just pop in :D

[lilniemo]

So what do you all think about the 24th or 25th of July? Give's us time to recruit some more people for the meet. Give me a yay or nay ~

[nathan_w1]

Works for me.

[AndThereWasGreg]

sounds good im in for the 25th this time

[lilniemo]

I'm a dumbass - I was looking at June when I posted those dates.

So the dates should've been the weekends of 22/23 or 29/30 of July ~ let me know what weekend works for you all and also how blind, errr blonde, I am for looking at the wrong month.

[nathan_w1]

So is this thing still on for one of those dates? We should do it later in the day so maybe it won't be so hot.

[AndThereWasGreg]

I agree.

[nathan_w1]

So what weekend are we doing this?

[lilniemo]

sorry guys, things have been hectic for me between a pending layoff at work and my dad (had heart surgery in april & now he's having issues w/the new veins) . . . soooooooo, ehhhh!

anyway, let me know what's going on ~ i'm off next weekend, even if i work i'll be done by 2:30 . . . let me know what works for you guys and who else is in ~ laura

[nathan_w1]

I have to work next weekend too, but I'll be done by 2:30 also. I say we meet later so it won't be too hot.

[lilniemo]

That's cool so that makes 2 of us - who else is in? I'm gonna send a message to a guy in Hiram, he left a message on my cardomain site and said next time we did a mini-meet to let him know.

[greystorm]

Hey Guys ! Its me Todd from Hiram/Dallas
Sat 29th in the afternoon will be good for me
Sunday would be bad cause I have to go to Ft Gordon for AT for 2 weeks. I look forward to seeing you guys.

[lilniemo]

So what day works for everyone? I'm good either day after 2:30.

[lilniemo]

This weekend: meet or no? All in favor say "aye" and which day.

[nathan_w1]

I'm in. What time Saturday do we want to meet?

[lilniemo]

Anytime after it starts to cool off I'm game - up to you guys, just throw out a time and I will be there. I'll actually be ON time since I know how long it takes to get there.

*edit* I just checked the forecast and they are calling for rain this weekend - 40% on Saturday and 50% on Sunday. So I guess it's weather permitting ~

[nathan_w1]

If you think the weather is going to get bad, just give me a call and we can decide if we want to meet or not. What if we meet where we did last time say around 6:30?

[lilniemo]

Sounds good to me. Saturday, 6:30pm @ Mall of Georgia (more specifically the back of the parking lot in front of Dick's Sporting Goods). :agree:

[nathan_w1]

How many people are gonna be there?

[lilniemo]

so far just me, you, and todd (the one from hiram) - i'm going to pm greg to see if he's in and grandamfan99 as well.

[lilniemo]

Looks like some rain is going to be hitting here soon so I guess the meet is off. I'll be at my base next weekend, we'll have to come up with a new date.

[nathan_w1]

I think we missed out on a good oprotunity, after the rain cleared it was sunny and cool about the time we would have been meeting. Oh well, maybe next time.

[AndThereWasGreg]

I was going to go up there. My net was down and I also installed my cold air intake yesterday so i was ready haha

[amerpwr]

used to be buford here but now stationed in minot afb. north dakota my ga will prolly be driving around buford area soon cuz its still at home gettin fixed and my dad is puttin on my parts so hell be drivin it around after the bodykit is put on and its painted

[lilniemo]

Eric - Man I feel for ya up there at Minot, I haven't been stationed there myself but I've had a few friends who have and I heard it gets pretty darn cold. Good luck with that and the Grand Am :)


Nathan & Greg - It was nice hanging out with you guys for that mini-meet awhile back, but I'm getting laid off from work and moving back to Indiana at the end of September. Good luck with the GA's and take it easy ~
