I'm game, sounds like a plan.

RaineMan

Ya know what I'm thinkin would be really cool? If all the Cobalts could meet up somewhere close to the mall then we can all cruise in and make an entrance together.
There's another shopping center with a Toys R Us and some other crap right across the street from the mall... we could do a little rendezvous there at about 1:00 then head across to the mall.

What y'all think?

RaineMan

Also... here's a small map of the mall and surroundings... the area I'd like us to meet in is in the red square....

Hey man, I live in Durham at Southpoint. If you want to meet up & cruise down there on the 18th let me know.

That would work for me. Just let me know where exactly you want to meet at Southpoint.

We could meet at the Sears Auto service center behind the mall off of Rennaissance Parkway. Rennaissance Parkway is the street that runs behind the mall. The Sears Auto place is back near the movie Theatre. It will take us ~2 hrs to get to Concord Mills. If we met there a little before 11:00 that should give us enough time. I think I saw your car about a month ago at the Wendys in Apex off of HWY. 64. Is that the store you manage at? By the way, I've got a black ss/sc so it should be easy to spot me on Saturday.

Deaf_Dog
02-11-2006, 05:27 PM
Sears Auto works for me and yes that is the Wendy's I work at off of 64 in Apex.

Counting you there should be 7 Cobalts...

The list I've got....

1) SilverStreak
2) Jayson k12
3) NCSU Wolf
4) SimplexIce
5) Deaf Dog
6) MOD Money (hopefully)
7) Dman

There will probably be 10+ J-bodies... it's their local "tuners" club and they've said Cobalts are welcome... so I figured a little meet 'n' greet... get to know some of the local GM tuners... etc... etc... etc...

I look forward to seeing everyone there!


Hopefully it won't be raining...

Jaysonk12
02-15-2006, 08:03 PM
Like Deaf Dog said, he & I are meeting at the Sears Auto behind Southpoint Mall a little before 11AM & heading out from there. Anyone passing by that way should definately meet up with us.

RaineMan
02-15-2006, 10:55 PM
Thanks for the quick replies guys! I passed the word... so next update I get I'll post up here.

Dman

hey, checking weather dot COM it looks like the weather for saturday MIGHT be a little messy...snow rain mix? someone make sure to bring a camera and or vid camera

Deaf_Dog
02-16-2006, 10:50 AM
I'm bringing my digital with me. Rechecked the weather, 60% chance of rain but I have a feeling that everything will work out for us.

Dman
02-16-2006, 11:32 AM
yeah, the local forcasts are looking better (less ice)...still rainy lookin though

RaineMan
02-16-2006, 12:02 PM
Yeah... we're prolly gonna get a little wet.... but ah well... that's why I want us to meet again in April... better weather... it seems to rain every weekend here in the winter...

Deaf_Dog
02-17-2006, 09:57 AM
Now it's a rain/snow mix with a 70% chance. Looks like I'm not gonna bother washing my car like I planned to.

Dman
02-17-2006, 10:06 AM
they change the forecast again?

i was gonna wash mine to, everytime i'm about to it rains...:-/

RaineMan
02-17-2006, 11:05 AM
Yeah.... what can I say... winter weather sucks... it's been really nice here all week... clear and in the 60's... so ofcourse it's gonna rain on the weekend... it rains here about every 5 days...

so... hopefully it'll be warm and sunny on April 29th...

Dman
02-17-2006, 11:07 AM
just as long as everyone is still gonna go, my friend with his gto is gonna come...

RaineMan
02-17-2006, 11:10 AM
I haven't heard of anyone backing out yet... it's right down the road for me... so I don't care if it's wet or not...

RaineMan
02-17-2006, 11:39 AM
Just thought about this.... if any of y'all that are coming need my cell number... gimme a PM and I'll send it to ya... incase you need directions or anything...

I'll post up another map of the general area tonite... so make sure to check here in the mornin before you hit the road!

C'y'all tomorrow.

NCSU Wolf
02-17-2006, 03:50 PM
i am going to charlotte tonight, so i will assume its a green light for toys-r-us at 1! look forward to meeting yall :twothumbs

Dman
02-18-2006, 12:05 AM
okso, toys r us at 1...waiting on that new map and number...ill check back in the morning...

RaineMan
02-18-2006, 12:53 AM
Okay... maps I could find suck... so we'll go for a good ol' text description

If you're coming down I-85 it's exit #49 same exit as Charlotte Motor Speedway (Lowes Motor Speedway) whatever... toys 'r' us is in a shopping center across the street from the mall... there's a Chick Filet... Red Lobster... Jared Jewlers... all that in the same shopping center... Toys 'R' Us is in the back... I don't think you can miss it... if you get off of I-85 it'll be on the right side of the road...

if you get really confused just swing over to the mall and we'll find you there.

I'll probably wait around Toys 'R' Us until 1:30 at the latest... then head over... b/c I don't want to miss all the guys at the mall...

I know some of y'all are coming from a long way off... I hope you'll remember to give yourself some extra time in-route b/c the weather is probably gonna be on the icky side... so traffic will be moving slower.

I'll be up at 9:00 in the morning to check my messages one more time on here... so again... if you want my cell number just incase... drop me a PM and I'll gladly send it to you.

Hope to see y'all tomorrow.... dress warmly... bring rain gear and cameras! I'll have my 5 megapixel camera with me... so I'll get pictures.

Have a good evening....

Well.... just thought I'd post up tonite and officially close this thread.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone that showed up... we had a great turn out overall I think... dispite the weather being nasty...

Deaf Dog, Jayson k12, Dman, NCSU Wolf, Simplex Ice, and myself made 6 Cobalts.

There were 11 j-bodies.... so 17 cars total... very impressive... for a cold, rainy saturday...

It was good to meet y'all and I do hope to see more of everyone once the weather turns warmer.

There were a lot of folks taking pictures at the meet... so I'll gather 'em all together and get a thread going this coming week with all the shots.

For those of you who joined "Street Visions" we (I suppose I can say we now) have a small forum HERE (http://domesticdisturbance.hyperboards.com/index.php) which should be growing with all the new members and submissions.

Again, thanks a lot for showing up, and I hope to see all of you in April!
