well i might drive up there tonite to go with you to see if we can talk to the mall security, or maybe we just need to find another parking lot thats huge also but idk...

and tell him bout the headlights that i hate doing them, such a pain in the ass cuz the last set on me was bitter and wouldnt open up so i fucked up on them

WhiteSSBalt

haha yeah. Well worst comes to worst we just dip out early and go on our big ass cruise. But im hoping we can hangout at the mall for a bit and chit chat for awhile.

Jackalope

It'd be cool. Like I said I'm gonna TRY like hell to be there.

staying at the mall and maybe with a cruise in there still sounds pretty good. I can understand the parks issues. oh well.

WhiteSSBalt

Alright. At least I can talk to ya about M3s as I used to own one. I had a '97 E36 M3....silver w/ black leather. I had a Dinan CAI, EDM clear turn signal lenses and a Kenwood head unit in it. Wasn't much.........I had a UUC Motorwerks cat-back and shifter ordered for it but then I got into a fender bender........ended up canceling the order and selling the car shortly after I got it back. Then I ordered the SS. So essentially, I did the opposite of you. I sold the M3, got a 'balt. Your selling the 'balt, and getting an M3.

2fastSS

we need to find a unused parking lot, such as wal mart or so forth, and then when we get kicked from the mall... Go on the cruise then meet up at a certain time at the second spot i think that will be the best bet

WhiteSSBalt

or the other side of the mall........lol. Fair Oaks Mall parking lot is MASSSSIVE.

Yeah. Its all about seeing the car and talking with fellow owners.......the park was just a cool idea.....but it crashed and burned.

jigyflyuk07

there is a park near where i live that i know you can have places rented, ill go look into that. I might be wrong don't hold me to it.

and if we get kicked out of there, we can always have a big roll out to dulles mall again, haha.

WhiteSSBalt

I'd be down for Dulles Mall again. At least we know we wont get kicked out there, haha. Im looking forward to the cruise more than anything really.

hey man, there is this place. lake fairfax park. It's in the reston area. I know they have campsites, and they have like football fields, a nice big lake and stuff. Im not sure what the rule is there. But they do have quite a lot of parking.

WhiteSSBalt

Thing is, im still gonna have to get a permit from the county for all of us. I dont know how hard that will be considering im not even a resident in that county. But i'll look into it. If its easy and more importantly, free, to get the permit i'll try to set that up.

jigyflyuk07

alright i guess that all works.

NamedGobalt

Hey 2fast thanks for doin the tails for me.. Its appreciated.. If you get ballsy you can paint the headlights and ill take them.. But I understand you not wanting to mess up your headlights..

Hey WhiteSSBalt, try out a chevy dealership. I know the midwest meet was at a chevy dealership. Just tossing out some options.

WhiteSSBalt

All the chevy dealerships I know of around here are dicks. The dealership I bought my car at (Country Chevrolet) voided my warranty when I brought my car in for a broken wheel stud. They blamed my slotted rotors and 19"s for the broken wheel stud and made me pay for the new one + labor. Gay.

2fastSS

man whitessbalt, im a busy man haha....Right now i just got my tire fixed, now im going to park it put it on jack stands, take all 4 wheels off, go get the tires of the wheels to get my wheels powdercoated black...while their off im painting my calipers black also, and lowering my car, and putting on a new filter for the airbox, then hopefully put on my new headlights and be set for the meet....I hope everything turns out but we will see haha

CarySS/SC

i really wish we could do a park tho cuz football or soccer would be really fun or even basketball

Stouffer

Here is thought: http://www.dullesgolfcenter.com/view...383&page=10261

There is also a park on Braddock Rd about 10 min from the mall. Right near the intersection of Union Mill Rd and Braddock Rd. They have plenty of parking and batting cages and such to.

Let me see in sterling area there is Claude Moore Park right around the corner from Dulles Mall.

Walney Park off of 28 in Chantilly.

Let me know if you need more ideas.

If you are planning a beltway cruise there is a ton of stuff in the Alexandria area as well down towards Lorton and such

hey now i work at a dealership im not a dick

WhiteSSBalt

I hear my 2fast.....I gotta get two new rear tires bought and mounted before the meet.....and probally gonna throw some E3 spark plugs in next paycheck.

Ok.......looked at the links. The park idea is out b/c it requires a permit and typically ive found a large sum of to rent an area. Between work, my car and other details in my life, I just dont have the time to go to fairfax and try to get that permit....nor do I have the money to fund the renting. Originally I didn't think this meet was gonna blow up and be so crazy big and badass......but now that it has (which is awesome, dont get me wrong), the park idea has become too far out of reach. But the golfing center sounds like a maybe They have an online group application form......I dont think they'll require a permit...but we'll see about an up front fee for a group. Ill contact them and keep everyone posted.

Stouffer

My company has had some outings there. They don't require a permit unless you want to serve alcohol. Then we are responsible for getting an ABC permit. But I don't think we need to be drinking anyways as they are some youngins invovled.

WhiteSSBalt

Nice. Ill contact them tonight.

2fastSS

hell yeah im so down for this meet....

WhiteSSBalt

Ok, I submitted a quote request to that Dulles Golf Center place......I think it'll be pricey though. But we'll see......

Stouffer

And the location will work into the cruise the Namedgobalt was planning. I know he said he about cruising out to 28. This place is just past the Ferrari/Masserati Dealership, and the Carmax dealership.

Yeah I am not sure how much it cost us. I can look at some of the parks down here in Alexandria as well. I know some of the City parks and rec guys that I can try to contact and see what is up.
