View Full Version : Cobalt and Redline Meet, Nov 4th in Howell and Brighton
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-24-2005, 05:46 PM Hey everyone, trying to set up a meet on Friday, Nov 4th. As far as where, thats still up in the air, we got some pretty good possible locations though. Pretty much the plan is to meet in either Howell or Brighton around 4pm, then we'll cruise down Grand River to whichever city we don't start it.
PM me if you have any good ideas as far as where to go, or leave me a message on AIM
Now who is up for it!

tvhsgurl 10-25-2005, 12:32 PM If I have the gas money to make it down there...Cause I will be in Rochester hills that morning at Oakland Unversity but I still have to come back to Flint to pick up my son at my moms after noonish so it depends on gas and my money situation and I will be there ok...

NGalaxyTimmyo 10-26-2005, 04:48 PM Sweet, I posted this on the Redline Forums as well. Hopefully we'll get a couple people out there ready to drive.
Waylin22 10-26-2005, 06:57 PM Sweet, I posted this on the Redline Forums as well. Hopefully we'll get a couple people out there ready to drive.
Good idea! keep us posted on that :cssNET:

Waylin22 10-26-2005, 10:05 PM Are the people on the Red line forum going to PM you and have u relay us?, if infact they can make it.
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-27-2005, 01:50 AM I sent out a couple of PMs for confirmation over at the Redline forums. I'll post everyone who's going on this one as well as their forums.
mcphatty 10-27-2005, 02:45 AM sweet, i'm getting excited
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-27-2005, 01:40 PM I've been checking on the weather too. The past few days it said 30% chance of rain. Today it says 0% with a high of 55. Hopefully it stays that way/gets a little warmer. I was almost worried about rain for a bit. Now all I have to do is get the car...
Waylin22 10-27-2005, 08:37 PM Weather men are usually wrong though...on the day of our 1st meet they said it was going to rain and it turned out it was partly cloudy...remember that sneaky? lol...Im getting excited, man this is going to be fun!! :beer:
Waylin22 10-27-2005, 08:39 PM Ok, kinda weird question...but i have no reason to keep my emblems after i debadged my car...does neone want my old emblems, if so i can bring them to the meet on the 4th if anyone is interrested.
mcphatty 10-27-2005, 09:39 PM if you took the SS emblem off of the dash trim, i want it to the max.
TMRRedline 10-28-2005, 07:39 AM You guys can count me in too. Just became a user of CobaltSS.net.
mcphatty 10-28-2005, 10:57 AM welcome to the site!
TMRRedline 10-28-2005, 11:13 AM Thanks. I will try to post for as much as possible but I do own a Redline.
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-28-2005, 01:21 PM That doesn't matter much! Theres quite a few redline guys here that post all the time, whether they have something to say or not! :lol:
Welcome to the site!
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-28-2005, 01:37 PM :cool: So far the list is pretty good. I've looked over the threads and my messages, and I think here is the list so far, as well as which board they're on. If your name isn't on the list, and you can make it, PM me or leave a message here. Same if I included you and you can't.
I will be getting directions soon posted. Oh yea, I'll also PM you all with my #, just incase you get lost, or something happens. One week to go!

NGalaxyTimmyo 10-29-2005, 02:22 PM Alright, still getting this double checked, but for now here are the meet locations.
We'll be meeting at Meijier at 3883 E Grand River Howell , MI 48843 (517) 552-6600
At around 4PM
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/NGalaxyTimmyo/xml.gif

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/NGalaxyTimmyo/4363af7e-0029e-0622b-4e8ea398.gif

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a79/NGalaxyTimmyo/CA07ILEP.gif
Waylin22 10-29-2005, 07:35 PM I will prolly be the 1st one there, i get out of class at 2 so it would be pointless for me to drive a 1/2 hr back to my house just to leave again, so if i am the first one there ill park out in the end so yall can see me.
mcphatty 10-29-2005, 09:34 PM i'll meet you there at 2 if you want.. i live out in brighton, so its not that far of a drive, if you want, we can come back to my house to waste some time and play halo or something

hmmm, i would like to attend but 4p, me having to work. and then drive to howell through rush hour traffic is almost impossible.
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-30-2005, 04:09 AM hmmm, i would like to attend but 4p, me having to work. and then drive to howell through rush hour traffic is almost impossible.
What time do you work till? If you work in the morning hours you could meet up with us later on.
tvhsgurl 10-30-2005, 12:30 PM Can we get one of ur guys number so that way if we cant meet up at 4pm we can find out where you are located and so fourth thanks...
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-30-2005, 01:27 PM I've sent everyone on here my number in a pm. If for some reason you didn't get it sent me a message.
ericsean 10-31-2005, 09:45 AM I'm really bad with planning for stuff. Sorry sneaky for last weekend. :mad: I'm gonna try really hard to make it to this one, but I can't make any promises. I get out of class at 2 as well, and assuming I can make it I will leave right from there ( UofM - Dearborn ).
pmerritt 10-31-2005, 12:10 PM i get off at 4:30 but i may be able to get off a little earlier if i work something out with the boss.

I live right around the block from UofM D. It shouldn't take more then an hour to get there from here. I will probably be leaving from Wayne State around 2:45 to 3
SSpartan 10-31-2005, 01:46 PM I live in east lansing and maybe ill come check out my chevy brothers. :cssNET:
oaklandmr 10-31-2005, 02:34 PM Ill be there with the gf but im not sure what time. lol
mcphatty 10-31-2005, 03:55 PM I live in east lansing and maybe ill come check out my chevy brothers. :cssNET:
you should definatley come out! i'm out in east lansing quite often, usually over by grand river/collingwood area. I've never seen ya though, so you should come out.
NGalaxyTimmyo 10-31-2005, 04:06 PM I live in east lansing and maybe ill come check out my chevy brothers. :cssNET:
You should! I look forward to seeing everyone who'll be able to make it. :cssNET:
tvhsgurl 10-31-2005, 05:54 PM Yea I will be there...but I wont be there til the bf gets out of work
NGalaxyTimmyo 11-01-2005, 01:36 AM Alright everyone. I've got a rough time outline for the meet. This way people who may not make it at 4 have a rough idea of where we will be, and so I can make reservations at chilis, at least let them know how many people are going. I figure I'll make it for 20-25, since theres about 14 people going now, plus some are bringing friends. Anyways.... Time frame
I figure everyone will be getting to meijer around 4pm. We'll stay there till 5:30. This will give everyone time to get to meet everyone, check out the cars, get some pictures in, as well as give time for the straglers to join :) . We'll start the cruise at 5:30 then. It's about a 15-20 minute drive to where we will be eating. Reservations at chili's will be at 6.
Alright, Hope everyone can still make it. PM me/message me/AIM me/call me if any questions or suggestions!
oaklandmr 11-01-2005, 10:04 AM We can be there by 530...i hope.
sneaky 11-01-2005, 10:12 AM Hopefully everyone will still be available... I don't get out of work I found out till 8-9pm :rolleyes: May not make it but would be willing to meet up with someone after the meet if it doesn't last that long.
mcphatty 11-01-2005, 12:06 PM i cant stress enough how important it will be to go the speed limit on most of the cruise, grand river is the main road between howell and brighton, other than I-96 and it is pretty well covered by the police. aside from going the speed limit, we're going to stick out like a sore thumb with 10+ cars that just look like they're up to no good. so, keep your head on straight and please dont do anything stupid.
http://cobaltss.net/gallery/files/2/4/4/6/cops.gif
the areas marked in red are commonly patroled by the howell police, and the michigan state police, so just keep your eyes out.
tvhsgurl 11-01-2005, 12:21 PM Yea we will be there just not at 4pm we hope to make it by 5:30.

I was going to say something similar on friday before we left, but I guess the sooner the better. I agree completely. Last thing we need is everyone thinking the cobalt and redline is always up to no good.
NGalaxyTimmyo 11-01-2005, 12:38 PM mcphatty just informed me that the location of the meijers isn't that far. He gave me a new map from google showing where it is.
the red mark is the new location. the green one is where mapquest said it was

SSpartan 11-01-2005, 02:29 PM I used to live on collingwood. Now im on abbott. I have a Silver SS. let me know next time u come to E L and ill buy you a shot. I am very interested in this meet though. I used to be in a car club back in the day and ive missed out on alot of the new ideas and techniques. even though im only 25 im old school back in 1996 i used to have a 428 whp camaro that my dad and i built when i was 16. it had alot of time money and love into it and it got ripped off and cleaned out by a car thief ring. i found it 3 hours later choppped to bits. i havent driven a fast car since. I now am in love with my Cobalt SS. I want to get back in this new mod community and make some friends. ill try and make it down but im broke as hell so well see.

patathSS 11-01-2005, 09:42 PM Hey SSpartan-
I am Definitely old enough to drink but I have to agree with you about the start time. I work till 4:30 so I don't think I am going to make it since it will be hell on I-96 coming from Lansing and heading to Brighton.
mcphatty 11-01-2005, 11:35 PM 96 isnt too bad between lansing and howell, all the traffic starts at brighton.. hopefully we'll get to see you guys there though!

NGalaxyTimmyo 11-03-2005, 12:36 PM Alright everyone. It's almost here now. Tomorrow at 4 pm. Once again if you have any questions, feel free to call me. I will be working from 3pm-3:30am. I check my phone around 7ish when I go on break, and will call anyone back if you leave me a message. My phone is off at work, so I won't know if you called unless I get a message. If you haven't got my number, pm me and I will pm you back around 4am, when I get home from work tonight. If you can't make it to meijer by 5, I'd recomend calling, to see where we're at. Depending on how things go, we may or may not be ready to leave. I have Chili's # on my phone. They told me to call about 2-3 hours in advance, and they would get ready for us.
Can't wait. Planning to get up pretty early (at least pretty early after working so late) to get my car ready. She'll be nice and shiny.
-Tim
SSpartan 11-03-2005, 04:23 PM iwant to come but the time is killing me. I cant make it there by 5. I really wanted to go but maybe next time.
For all those guys in EL lets meet tonite. Thursday. Im up fer whatever.
p.s. I know an isolated spot of road where i "heard" that a cobalt "similar" to mine was speeding.
was that too subtle?
:cssNET: :usa:
mcphatty 11-03-2005, 05:51 PM still waiting for you to call me sspartan, im having a couple of friends over tonight if you'd like to join us we'd be more than happy to accomodate

NGalaxyTimmyo 11-05-2005, 12:36 AM The meet was awsome. Everything turned out great. Can't wait for the next one. A few of the guys there had some good ideas, but I'll leave it to them to post those. Got a couple of pics I'll be posting tomorrow. Thanks again everyone who made it, and hope to see you next time to those who didn't.
