Albany 2006

[Rayz]

Who’s going to Albany 2006?
I’m bored and ready to do it again. :)

[tenspeed]

I'm planning on it. I have some tricks up my sleeve.

[rabidpanda69]

I'd like to, but I have a feeling I'll still be too poor to make that kind of a trip. :(

[Bouchie11982]

i think there is thread about this already in the Club ECM discussion...could someone possibly merge this http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=50
to the right thread????

[sunrunner_pei]

Katie, only ClubECM members can see the ClubECM section. The thread in there is specifically for planning of the meet, not discussing who will be going. ;)

[evlhamstr]

i want to go. maybe a trail of us michigan folk can all make the trip together, in our own GA's of course but thatd be sweet drivin down the highway with all GAS

[redhotdj]

Pucci

[Sweet98GA]

[ga5speed02]

ok i plan on going. i missed the past 2 years and should be shot dead for that. ok if i win this lawsuit i am MOST DEF going :)

[sunrunner_pei]

Lawsuit?

[ga5speed02]

back in augest 2003 i was rear ended by a tractor trailer during work in a work truck. i lost my work comp case(no idea how) and only got 4 grand. i paid off some bills. but my 6 hearnited disks are still there and so is the pinched nerve in my neck. oh yea i am 27 and starting to devlop arthrites(sp) in my cervical spine.

but i want to go to an albany meet, so i guess i will have to start saving up now, hahah

[sunrunner_pei]

Damn Mike, that sucks Bud. But I hope you can make it to Albany either way. :toast:

[ga5speed02]

hey thanks. me to. i want to meet so many people that i talk to everyday. i think it will be real cool

[ga5speed02]

any ideas for potential dates?

[Big Joe]

Mike, dates will prolly be up toward the end of january.

[ga5speed02]

awesome thanks joe

[LordRayden]

Count me in! I saw the pictures of the '03-05 meets and it looks like everyone had a great time, and it looks fun. This will be my 1st meet, I'll take a week and a half of leave in 06 on the week of the event to see me aunt in NY after the event, it'll be awesome, can't wait 2 meet everyone!

Now I'm just waiting on some dates

Hopefully I'll have my supercharger by then (gotta save up $3500.00, this years tax return should help)

I should have some pictures of my car posted by the end of this month

[Y2KGPGT]

I might make the trip.

[Big Joe]

What is that like a 15 min ride for you....... lol

[Pucci]

Sarcasm isnt heard very well on a computer.

As for me......I might make the trip.

Pucci

[Night Wolf]

well, may not :(

*IF* it falls on either my Spring or Summer break... which both are only about 10 days long, then I can make it.

Otherwise I can't.

Since both of my cars that are registered will be in FL, I'll have to drive up which would take 2 days, then drive back.

Once we get the dates, I'll have to see.....

[Big Joe]

Well rick what dates are you off maybe the meet will actually fall on them.

[thomas uzarski]

I'll be there for some runs down the track.

[ManktheTank19]

I will probably make it if all my projects are done by then

[Big Joe]

Too many pre 99 people coming this year. That means I wont get a trophy by default lol.........Guys dont come it sucks :lol:

[Bouchie11982]

ill vote for you Joe ;)

[ga5speed02]

ill vote for ya, if i die of exhaust fumes while watching family guy. :lol:
i hope i can go more than anything

[RocketFast321]

I'm trying hard this year, but i can never save up money. I need a big time job :(

[ga5speed02]

sell a kidny on ebay :lol: thats what i might have to do

[replica9000]

I was lucky to get the week off last year, hopefully this year I can be there again.

[Bouchie11982]

yea same here because summer class at college are now looking good, but i just hope ill be out in time for Albany :(

[92CamaroRS]

ill be in summer school, but im gonna tell them im gonna be gone for a week, like it or not, im gonna be gone!

[Night Wolf]

Spring break - 3/13-3/20

Summer break - 7/24-7/31

those 2 last dates are the day I gotta be in class.

Yeah, one of the few downsides to a tech. school :(

Since I would want/have to drive up, it'll take about 1.5 days each way.... that will be taking away from the time spent there....

then of course, this would be my whole vacation... so I would have to decide GAOC meet, spend the ~week back at home visiting friends/family etc... or go off and do my own thing for a week somewhere... drive to Key West, Miami, or maybe make a trip out to stay with my aunt/uncle/cousin in Texas.....

It all depends on the date... *IF* the GAOC meet falls right in with my breaks, yeah, I'll go. I don't own a Grand Am, and I have been to the last/first 3 meets... without a Grand Am... and it really does mean alot to me.

If the dates to not line up.... maybe if it is an off-peak time I could fly up for the weekend only.... off peak I think I can get round trip for like $180, that isn't too bad.... but then I would have to see about getting around... my Oldsmobile is in NY, but not registered, I don't think I can swap plates from the Caddy for the weekend.... so the only other option would be to borrow my fathers spare vehicle..... 1988 full size Ford Bronco.... sweet truck, and it'll get me around :) maybe run it at LVD :)

Actually, really, if I did come up for the weekend, I am sure my friend Chris with the 1.8T Jetta would love to hang out and do this for the weekend, I will just tell him ahead of time so he can get the time off from work.

So after all that rambling.... if it lines up with either of my breaks, I'll drive the Caddy (most likely '93) up to NY.... if it is on a weekend, and it works for me and my friend then I'll fly up.... I would fly right into Albany too, that is neat :)

So I guess it'll work out... I want to make sure it works out! can't miss the 4th GAOC meet over something trival....like living 1,500 miles away! :)

[SCGA1]

Well, since I have a brand new ride, there is no excuse this time. My car should be lowered, have a free-flow exhaust and cone filter by that time.:)

[blackgt2k]

Im down, gonna have some new things as well...

[roksoc]

sweet ride Keith. I will deffinetly try to make it this time, last time my car was trashed so it wasnt going anywhere but now I got the car back to normal and I got some dough saved up so a trip to albany it is!!!

If your gonna go you might as well come up with me and a few others. We follow each other and since ur in nyc you cant be more then like 15 min from me, give or take. So yeah if you wanna do that it would be cool.

Yeah that sounds great!

[Aaron96]

Count me in, Just need the date and time.

[Bouchie11982]

the date and time should be annouced sometime in january or february...hopefully

[nineteen88ga]

I'd say I'm down for going, but we know what happened to me lats year haha

[RickHigginsHtbr]

count me in for now, we'll see what happens

[gicts]

you've got a nice size group growing here, I might have to see what Albany is all about!

[Bouchie11982]

you've been here for almost 2 yrs and u've never been to albany ryan? ur missing out!!!

[gicts]

lol I guess it's a must then!

[Bouchie11982]

yea we go to strip bars and just party wild like its 1999 and we play frisby in the back of the hotel...yea ur missing out!














ok the first couple things we dont actually do, but play frisby in the back of the hotel...drunk...pretty fun and funNY actually :) hope you go!

[gicts]

any idea on a date? It's going to be a little drive but I bet I talk a buddy into tagging along and driving a bit

[Bouchie11982]

umm...we DID decide on a date but then had to reject it for some reason. im sure they'll be posting about it soon, for they are busy pple as well.

[gicts]

hehe 13 hours... sounds like it would be a great time though. Would it be sometime around May-July? I will prolly be free just about the entire time, except Indy 500 weekend :D

[Big Joe]

Mid july is a good guess ryan, right now the dates are still up in the air though.

[gicts]

that works!

[InsaneSkippy]

So yah, looks like there was A LOT of beer pong last year... Interesting.. I hope there's just as much this year :brows:

[92CamaroRS]

I'm sure there will be, but don't count on playing, Paula wont stand for it.

[Big Joe]

Heh beer pong is a staple at any GA meet I've ever been at. Weather it be in a small hotel room on a desk, In someones kitchen, or in a conferance room at a hotel. Yes I've done all that at least once lol.

As far as that goes, I turn 21 in May :D

[Y2KGPGT]

The dates will be up shortly. We are working out the details (track,park) right now.

[Night Wolf]

Ah gosh...

with money being really tight and all, I think the only way I will be able to make it, is if it lines up with my summer break... maybe not all of it, but atleast a couple days....

Summer break - 7/24-7/31

It sucks. Thats part of being in a tech school. What would happen is, I would fly up, once i get to NY, I would get my Oldsmobile on the road (bring the plates up when I go up) and drive that around, and to Albany etc.... but then that car is coming back to Florida... which means I need to leave 2-3 days before the 31st. I will do the drive in 2 days, MAYBE stright thru, depends how I feel, the Olds if comfy enough that shouldn't be a problem.

I am unsure if I am going up to NY for Summer break, if any of the GAOC club lines up, then I'll definitly go... otherwise the trip may wait. But money for the plane ticket there, then for my expense while in NY, then for the gas back (figured about $100 with the Olds) is going to be hard enough to come by... but if the meet lines up, like I said atleast for 2+ days, then I *WILL* be there :)

But for the reason that next time I am in NY the Olds will be coming down to FL, I will not be driving up, as the Olds will not be able to come down here if I do that :)

[03grandam]

hmmmm im like 30 min from albany so maybe i might be able to make it this year, last year i was new. I really want to see what some of you have done with your GA's. Cant wait.

[ottawagagt]

Im definitly there this year. I had lots of fun last year! Even though everyone made fun of the way i talk eh! (i might have to bring a canadian crew with me)
I miss my GA sooooo much! I cant wait to see everyones cars. No one up here has a nice GA so im having withdrawl!
I just ordered a new car. I think that most of you might not approve (yes i bought an import) but im super excited about it. It gets delivered in May so the meet will probably be the first road trip in it! Cant wait to see everyone and there cars!

Craig

[Bouchie11982]

well we are happy you are still coming up Craig!!! cant wait to see the new car :) :bounce:

Make sure you disconnect your GF's alarm next time she has to open up, that'll seal the deal :D

Estimated percent of marriages ending in divorce: 50%
Estimated percent of GAOC Meets ending in divorce: 0%

Average number of Custom GA's at a wedding in Mexico: 0
Average number of Custom GA's at the GAOC meet: 35+

Chance that something you will drink in Mexico will make you get sick: 65%
Chance that something you will drink at GAOC Albany will make you sick: 67% (ok, forget that one)

You can't deny the facts, you would be much better off coming to the meet.

What can I say, every once in a while I say something entertaining. :)

[ga5speed02]

ok i am 80% sure i am going now. my boys girl knows i dont have a lot of money and today said "hey if you cant, you cant. mark will be upset but what can you do"
nice her and i dont see eye to eye on things and i dont think she wants me there anyway. plus its 170 a night for the hotel(food, drink, tips included) and if i go it would be for 3 days 2 nights plus airfair and i need to buy a passport. or spend like 69 (splitting the room ofcorse)for 4 nights at albany plus food and gas and tolls. ill prolly spend like 200 bucks anyway. im sure my g/f will want to pitch in for gas and stuff so i just need to tell my boy i cant go. im not good at saying no. i suck at that kinda stuff. i dont know how to tell a friend of 11 years that i cant make his wedding

Give me his phone number, I'll tell him :D

Seriously, it would help if you threw him the best bachelor party ever before he left ;) I find it helps a lot if you wait for him to be piss-drunk and have a couple of strippers on his lap before you break the news...

[ga5speed02]

thanks for the offer Joe :) thanks for the dates katie :)

[InsaneSkippy]

Does anyone know if there will be a place to wash my car? This is my frist time going so I'm not sure how things work.

[JMILLS]

The tradition for some is to take their cars to Hoffman's Full Service car wash, they do a great job. As for detailing, that goes on 24 hours a day int he parking lot, or wherever we are, lol

[Big Joe]

Yeah, car washing and detailing pretty much goes on for the length of the meet.

[Bouchie11982]

yea don't worry Kyle, we gotcha covered! just follow us and we'll show ya the car wash to go to that WONT discolor your black pieces in your car

[krissyb22]

my boyfriend and i went last year but we didn't stay. I want to go this year but we are like shy people. So I want to get to know some people before we go so that way we know people when we get there

[Big Joe]

Ct meet is a great way to get to know people before the albany meet :D

[Bouchie11982]

sure is :) The CT meet is the first weekend of June 2-4th.

[redhotdj]

ya its a good place to meet other grand am owners and to get use to the fun and games that will take place in albany

you dont have to worry about being shy all the members are real nice and friendly
:lots:

[krissyb22]

I know its a lot of fun. We went the first year they had it at albany and we had a blast. but when we went this past year we only went to the track and then back to the hotel but since we weren't there from the beginning it was awkward. No one talked to us and everytime we asked people what was going on they would just walk away from us. So we went back home. So I was hoping that this year we can get to know people before the meet. So this doesn't happen again

[Bouchie11982]

was it the black grand am with the centered hood scoop?
also Kristen i sent you a PM, not sure if you got it :)

[Big Joe]

You guys obviously didnt come talk to me cause I talk to everyone, maybe you were scared to approch me cause I was holding a baseball bat, but dont let that scare you the next time :D

Kelly is working on the list. :)

[1999grandamse]

I hear the words "beer" and "drunk" a lot when Albany is mentioned.
Is this event friendly to those under 21, or even those who don't drink?
I want to go, but my Mom would not allow me to if this is all that happens, especially since it will be expensive.

BTW: what is beer pong?

'cause we will buy you the beer :P he he

I have never been to Albany, but from what I hear its alot of fun, but fun dosent mean you gotta get loaded, gettin loaded costs money, not everyone has that money :)

Just make sure Paula knows your under 21 and you won't have the chance to have a single beer the entire time.

[pre_16365]

everyone sitting in the parking lot at night, bs'ing and drinking some beers....... one of the best part about going to albany.

[Gimli]

Actually, except for myself three years ago I'm not aware of anyone ever getting really loaded. There is drinking going on, some people get pretty darn drunk but for most in attendance it's not a major priority.

We, as the Club, will not tolerate anything that is obviously illegal and/or dangerous anyways. Our first and foremost priority is everyone's safety and enjoyment. We did have the cops bust us out of a parking lot two years ago, not because we were violent, too noisy or drunk in public but because the morons closing the restaurant in front of the hotel didn't like 20+ people sitting down and chatting in their parking lot. We moved back to the hotel property and everything was fine. All the empty beer bottle were even tightly packed in (and around) the one trash can outside the hotel in the morning :D

If it helps, you can get in touch with either me, Shawn, Kelly or John and we'll give you our phone number for your mom to call and enquire about the meet. It's been done before, with pretty good success.

[JMILLS]

Actually the Albany events for the most part are booze-free. During the day there is much too much driving around for people to be drinking (I hope!). The only drinking happens in the evening when everyone is sitting around the campfire (minus the whole campfire thing) and it is a very mellow thing. I have been every year (except the first lil' albany meet) and I don't drink much but I still have a blast.

[Bouchie11982]

if ANYONE needs a ride...i'll be the designated driver (i'll probably be the only one )
