**POSTPONED** 3rd Annual IS300 gathering @ Palisades Center in West Nyack, NY

[ElusiveIS]

Nice EMPTY parking lot!! :D

jturk3 (sorry, dont know your name).. how far from Palisades Mall? ;)

[whitetezza]

i remember that meet.. my one and only CL meet i went to..

[mikefate]

why dont we meet earlier so we dont have to stress on weather/darkness?

[ElusiveIS]

You got sun till 3pm!

[TSopranoIS300]

why dont we meet earlier so we dont have to stress on weather/darkness?

true, maybe lets push everything back an hour...and plan to meet at palisades @ 12pm ?

[ElusiveIS]

Well, decide now so we can update the threads. Might be too late now though.. hehe.

[ElusiveCBR600]

there's always gonna be peeps late. Noon is perfect if everyone can wake up :)

[TSopranoIS300]

Well, decide now so we can update the threads. Might be too late now though.. hehe.

I honestly dont want to be the one making that decision....I'll go whenever, rain or shine to be honest...:p

we can just leave it be for now or make it 12pm, no proble, and see what the weather is like sunday morning...and go from there...

[bran1093]

fuckin 40% change precip for sunday

[TSopranoIS300]

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?CityName=West+Nyack&state=NY&site=OKX

WEST NYACK, NY

Sunday: A chance of snow before 1pm, then a chance of rain and snow between 1pm and 2pm, then a chance of snow after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 34. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

I guess we'll see what happens, might need to postpone it till the following sat or sun....or just cancel it till spring....whatever everyone decides on

[TSopranoIS300]

maybe we should change it to saturday? i know its last min...but ZERO chance of any precip saturday..supposed to be sunny and nice....

[Gray Rider]

Marc, is it too late for Saturday??? Its better than Sundays' weather.

[TSopranoIS300]

Marc, is it too late for Saturday??? Its better than Sundays' weather.

I guess whatever everyone else wants to do...its so hard to tell what the weather sunday will be like...

Saturday is guarenteed sunshine and dry weather

[L Tone]

ehh im scared that if it'schanged to saturday a bunch of people will back out.. i'd still be down to go either day at whatever time though

[Gray Rider]

Well, we will get a better pic of Sundays weather tomorrow afternoon.





I game for Saturday if it's decided......I'm also game for Sunday as long as it does not snow till late pm.

[TSopranoIS300]

i agree...if anything, like Peter said on .net...maybe meet earlier, by like 11am or sooner....then people can head home with ample time to beat the weather...

[na_2door]

It's final get there around 10am. I'll be there at that time and i'll spread the word right now to the other forums.

[gLassdanse]

^ all business :)

[Gray Rider]

^^^ That's Peter for u.......SUNDAY it is.

[na_2door]

UPDATE FOR THE MEET:

Because of the weather looking like it'll take a turn for the worse for sunday NIGHT. The meet will be held earlier in the day at around 10am. This will give more then enough time for our little get together and + enough time to get home before the weather uncooperates.

Hopefully this doesn't change any of you from coming. See you all there!

[Dtrip77]

what time do we meet up at the stops????

[BrokeAZZWillie]

Nice EMPTY parking lot!! :D

jturk3 (sorry, dont know your name).. how far from Palisades Mall? ;)

his name is James;) he's an old skool member but then he like fell off the face of the .net along wif other members, but now he came back:cool:

[wenger828]

yea, whats the deal with the stops now?

[bran1093]

damn thats early as hell.. im so far down south :(

[BrokeAZZWillie]

wait wats happening here i've been sick since friday i dont feel like reading.....but from wat i see it gonna be earlier?

Peter, I dunno if you're either smoking a joint when you wrote that or you're an early ass person. It'll take me nearly 3 hours to get to where the meet location is. If the meet is at the spot at 10am, then I'm definitely out. I'm from way southern NJ (cherry hill.) I'll be out partying saturday night, there's no way imma wake up at 6am for a 3 hour drive car meet.

[ElusiveIS]

Damn, weather for Sunday looks really shitty. That sux. I know A LOT of people were looking forward to this meet. Oh well.

[ElusiveIS]

10am!? A few peeps will definitely be dropping off that list.. hehe.

[ElusiveIS]

what time do we meet up at the stops????

Stop 1 would probably be now 9am!

Stop 2 would be 10am! (Since its 5 mins away from Palisades)

:rolleyes:

[TSopranoIS300]

oh well..

lets just hope for the best....if not, maybe reschedule for next sunday or just forget it till spring...it sucks when the weather doesnt cooperate

lets wait and see sat night/early sun morning

[ElusiveIS]

^^ I agree.

[BrokeAZZWillie]

cool cherry hill then you could roll wif brandon for company ;) but in all seriousness if theres a chance it's gonna snow im not bringing my car i have very little thread on my tires wif uneven wear on nankangs :( im just gonna take the coupe and go hang out wif bitches:p

[illestaznskillz]

not that im complaining...but in my expierience...changing the time and making it that early, you will def lose sum playas

[ElusiveCBR600]

well, I just checked the weather.
Forcast saying sunny AM and 60% chance of rain/snow in the PM.
Of course, back on monday, the weather forcast said SUNNY with 10% chance of rain. Shit changes every day so by sunday, we could either

A) see rain/snow or freezing cold AM
B) no rain at all till monday

let's hope for the best and see what the weather will bring. Don't make any final decisions yet fellas. Peter's suggestion of 10am at the meet location is a "definite" OUT for me. There is no way imma wake up 6am on sunday, even if Brandon offers me a ride (truth is, I can't get up at 6am unless I get paid for that shit like work)

so keep your fingers crossed and hope it doesn't rain/snow or this thing will carry us to SPRING.

[Dtrip77]

^^^u have a good point... i had to request off from work for this day like a month and a half ago and i had to fight for it.....:mad: (retail sucks) and having to wake up even earlier then expected sucks too:( . so if it does start to rain/snow im probably out. as much as i was looking forward for this i rather be safe then sorry.....but if the weather holds up im still down if not SPRING time is around the corner....and down the street and a couple more turns...:rolleyes:

[mikefate]

saturday wotn work. me and brandon are going down to md. and eric has plans i think also. sunday is good. i say earlier the better. more time to BS and take pics, plus we can all head home hopefully before weather turns bad. i say me, brandon, eric and all the southern peeps meet at my house or erics house sunday at 9am. then head north on parkway from there. be up near marcus and the northern peeps by about 10am. then be at palisades by 11am.

and hopefully is some jackass flips his rx8 over i can get it on video this time!

hey not everyone can make every meet. there will be others..


on the other hand 10am is early for a meet but if you factor in the weather then whoever can meet will meet. I"ll probably be driving to this meet drunk anyway...

[wenger828]

im cool to go down earlier, just wanna know what time the stops are gunna be?

[TSopranoIS300]

honestly, just heard another forcast...and 12/1pm might be DRY, might not be good earlier in the morning actually...I dunno...forcast very confusing

[whitetezza]

fuck this... have a great time.. see ya next year....

too much indecisiveness, weather permitting or now. and with people on this board and on .net bitching and complaining about what to do, whats going on there....

its a fucking parking lot, we go get reaquainted, check each others cars out, take pics, go to the mall and have lunch as a group... nothing more nothing less....

just post pone till next year.... so people wont be afraid of the weather, the weekend christmas shoppers (even though we're in an isolated parking lot) and so we can have people come without their beater cars since this is and IS meet.

[gLassdanse]

people seem to have taken this to the next level i.e. ^ jus leave the plans alone i doubt it will rain or w/e and as long as your drive with caution everything will be fine.... theres no major storm in the forcast so from the time whatever happens starts everyone will be able to make it home..... everyone just needs to stop worrying lol... and i understand a few people are comin from further away and we should just leave it up to them to make their own judgement calls... but changing the plans every 15 mins is just gonna make people freak out and not come

[ElusiveCBR600]

Let's wait till saturday night and see the CORRECT forcast, the weather anchorrs are always wrong anyway.

[L Tone]

[TSopranoIS300]

tomorrow's weather looks fantastic....haha

and all the local places say that midday sunday should be nice and clearing skies high 40....and afternoon should be nice!!!

[jturk3]

his name is James;) he's an old skool member but then he like fell off the face of the .net along wif other members, but now he came back:cool:

im your .net mole. i poke my head up now and then.

[L Tone]

if it's going to be nicer around mid day or later should we just reinstate the original meet time?

[ElusiveCBR600]

Remembering the huge prelude meet I went last year about now at King Of Prussia (KOP), the weather was actually really nice but COLD. I remember nobody popped their hood open and just stood around for about 10 mins, then everybody scattered separate ways to eat. Was so gay....
I hope this sunday's meet, the weather would be in high 40s or low 50s at least and peeps would chill and check out cars a bit.
:2cents:

[SpectraIS3]

k, what the flip is going on ? meet/no meet? so confused right now....

anyone want breakfast at my house? thats what i was gonna do anyways :cool:

[SpectraIS3]

k....im a post whore, but the weather.com is hilarious. i dont know who types up there 'severe weather warnings'....but heres the summary.... from fri night:
.TWO ROUNDS OF WINTER WEATHER EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...(now we talk like its alcohol)..A WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE QUICKLY EAST FROM THE ROCKIES TONIGHT, REACHING THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. ENOUGH COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE FOR SNOW TO FALL LATE SATURDAY NIGHT IN MOST PLACES..
in other words..cant you just say snow?
i hate weather people. enjoy your weekend, i'll be drifting in vacant parking lots, rain/sleet/snow/hail/volcano.
-chris.

[MYIS300T]

Snow during the morning will taper off and give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon. High 39F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

[Dtrip77]

hmmmm?????????????
just gonna have to wait till sunday mourning.

[ElusiveCBR600]

seems like it will definitely snow down here in Southern NJ and West Nyack NY. 70% in the AM (as I predicted !!) not PM :)

However, my car is still has the car cover and won't open it until tomorrow to see what happens.

[SpectraIS3]

yea ...feeling the same way. mines heated in a garage right now. i dont mind the cold, but snow/rain-- screw that.

[illestaznskillz]

well IM FURIOUS!
its supposed to take at most, 2 weeks to fix my car, but since my accident on Nov 2, i havent drivin in it due to the slow claims and inspection processes of GEICO and the slow ass but professional people working at the shop. They closed early today without me knowing, so i cant pick up the car til monday. not even sure if the car is ready, it was being painted last night.

Therefore despite the "rain & snow"(which i only think will turn out to be a light drizzle) i will be rolling in on this meet in my TL...which, in my opinion, is more luxurious and has more power than our IS300s (STOCK) but no where near as fun of a drive. So i'm pissed, but im tryin to be optimistic here and hope to enjoy tomorrow's meet!

[ElusiveCBR600]

^ nice,
stock TL > stock IS300

[ElusiveIS]

^ read post # 316 :D

[ElusiveIS]

See you bishes there. I already told my girl I am bringing her to Palisades tomorrow so she can shop. So, I will be there...

[TSopranoIS300]

damn, should be interesting..

WEST NYACK, NY weather:

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?CityName=West+Nyack&state=NY&site=OKX

Overnight: Periods of snow, mainly after 4am. Low near 26. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Sunday: Periods of snow, possibly mixing with rain after noon, then gradually ending. High around 35. North wind between 3 and 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

HONESTLY, I'd advice people NOT to go, and lets just reschedule for NEXT SUNDAY DEC 11!!!!!!

[SophieSleeps]

Guys, don't go. It's not worth crashing your car.

You know how people drive at meets. This isn't a subaru meet. You guys don't do well in the snow.

I will not be making this one. I don't suggest you guys do either.

[AfternoonShift]

snowing here pretty good. just got home like 30 mins ago..and the roads were covered, didn't hit over 30mph... hehe wish my car was rwd would of had some fun on the empty roads =p they say 1-3 inches for my area. If i were u guys, i'd do it another weekend...

[whitetezza]

snowing really nice in the city right now..

guys i would advise not to go tomorrow because no matter how much snow falls little or a lot the people who do the paving and the salting do really crappy jobs especially since its the first major downfall of the season...


reschedule for next week or just hold off till spring... sitting around in the cold comparing intakes and front bumper lips isnt worth it...

[ElusiveCBR600]

well.. I was really looking forward to meet everyone. I just woke up to take a piss, it's 6:05am sunday and I just looked outside. I SEE FUCKING SNOW! SophieSleeps is right, you know how we drive at meets. It's pointless to drive in the snow or driving SLOW in snow covered highways, no fun :mad:
So far looks like alot of you are going to be out (many of you stated if you see snow, it's an automatic cancellation.) Perhaps the snow will met by noon, but how are you guys going to do this?
I see those who post around 3am, obviously will be sleeping until noon. So sleep tight fellas and let's do this meet another time?

I will be check this thread again around 9am. If most of you are going, I'll go.


I'll check you guys in a little bit, going back to sleep :D

[Gray Rider]

Just got up fellas, looked outside and it's snowing pretty good in my area.....I would take the advise of the others who posted before me. No go! :( Let's try again for another day.......

[Linner81]

Def do not go guys, I live about 15 mins from the mall Its 8am and it already looks like this. this is only gonna get worse....enrique, im still gonna try and make it to the shop right now bc its only 5 mins away to uninstall some things. now I really gotta get my snow tires on....

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/linner/P1010101.jpg

[MYIS300T]

WEll it is still snowing down here. Looks like about an inch and a half. Im not gonna chance it. Even if the snow melts soon, which since it is 25.f out,I do not think will happen, the road will still be wet and shitty cold, black ice will form everywhere.

If I step on the gas when the roads are dry my car goes sideways. Oh well I hope we can just resched for next weekend.

[SpectraIS3]

im sorry fellas....not in this weather though. maybe another weekend. hope everyone drives safe in this snow, dont be that stupid ;)
no, but really, drive safe.

[Dtrip77]

damn freakin snow :mad:......so i guess we should talk about the rescheduling
date.:(

[wenger828]

damn.. snows startin to go away now, i figure the more cars drive over the roads, the more the snow will just melt or whatever

[TRDSupraT78]

it stop snowing over here in CT im like 30m away from the mall. If there a good amount cars that still want to meet up im down to go

[GraphiteSportDesign]

The snow has stopped here, the roads will be pretty much clear, I'm still down to go, I wonder who else is.

[wenger828]

i'm down to go as well. it stopped snowing, and the roads are just wet. i dont think its gunna snow anymore.

[GraphiteSportDesign]

If anyone going has any extra stock lugnuts, please bring them, because I need them to put on my winter wheels! lol

[wenger828]

ok, im heading to vaux hall now then haha, if i dont see anyone, then whatever. but other than that, see you guys there!

[na_2door]

Um .... yea i just looked outside. Sorry wenger im not gonna make it.

[bran1093]

sry guys not gonne be there either... roads are icy here

[GraphiteSportDesign]

Local roads aren't the best, but highways should be fine.

[TSopranoIS300]

told ya all so....

hopefully next weekend weather is better....

[TRDSupraT78]

So lets do the meet next sunday

[ElusiveIS]

I went to sleep around 2am.. and it started SNOWING already in my area. I was hoping it would be cleaned up by now, but, nope.. roads are still covered in snow. :sigh: Oh well.. can't help that.

Meet is POSTPONED to next Sunday (12/11).

[romyo247]

c u guys next sunday

[Dtrip77]

sucks i can't go cause of work....guess i'll have to wait till the next meet in spring.

[jturk3]

Wont be going today or anytime soon. I work weekends and work a 12 hour shift. I cant give up that money anytime soon. Asking off is like emptying my wallet.

[GraphiteSportDesign]

Does anyone know if I can safely use tuner lugs, one on each wheel, on the stock wheels? I'm still missing 4 stock lugs for my winter wheels.

[ElusiveIS]

^^ Really sorry for those who requested today off. I was really looking forward to today too. :( We'll plan another meet in advance (spring time) and hopefully you guys can make that.

[ElusiveIS]

Does anyone know if I can safely use tuner lugs, one on each wheel, on the stock wheels? I'm still missing 4 stock lugs for my winter wheels.

Dave, I do not see why not. Just make sure it catches onto the wheel.

[wenger828]

hahha and i made my way down to vaux hall, forget about it. took exit 139 south to get back north to kenilworth, road weren't even plowed, then got lost tryin to get back on parkway north cuz i was concentrating too hard on controlling the car haha. thank god the rims i swapped out with my stocks came with all seasons.

[TSopranoIS300]

why didnt you put on the winters tires/stock rims I sold to you?!?!? ;)

[ElusiveCBR600]

Next saturday is my company Christmas Holiday dinner :D What does that have to do with next week's postponed car meet? Well, it's OPEN BAR, which means imma get fucked up (James would do the same if he goes to a dinner with open bar) so, chances are, imma miss the meet.

[L Tone]

yeah unfortunately... i probably wont be able to make the meet either anymore :(

[wenger828]

too lazy. haha
