Long Beach Area Anyone?

[eii]

Anyone from the long beach, lakewood, cerritos area or anywhere else close by? I have yet so see any other Yaris around here with any mods. Maybe some of them are YW members in disguise? I did however hear a Yaris on norwalk and del amo across from artesia high with a modded exhaust. Possibly a white sedan with tints.

Anyways it just seems a bit lonely around here, lol. Just curious to know the near by locals. Maybe we can set up a meet sometime.

[03Z33]

There's a pretty decent group of 5 or more modded Yarii in the HB area. I'm sure a few in LBC too... I'm usually in the Belmont shore and Sunset/Seal beach areas at least twice a weak.

Check out this thread for a meet coming up soon:

Hey eii- We're all here, but we're like Bigfoot- we are sneaky and are rarely spotted...lol I live in Lakewood (Del Amo/Palo Verde) and drive around the city frequently and go to the L.A. Fitness on Carson/Cherry. Where you at??

[eii]

Dude, I'm between los coyotes and palo verde on carson near heartwell golf course! I actually recently moved in the Lakewood literally a block away from my old house in LB. I go down Del Amo and Palo Verde tons. I must've seen you before! What color is your Yaris? Are you the guy going down del amo with the exhaust?! Lol, so excited and full of energy drinks and energy bars.

This guy was asking where I lived in LB before the wipe, but I wasnt able to answer him back. He hasnt re-registered since the wipe, but his name was siray_eigger. Might have registered with another nick.

[natethegreat38]

Mine is a white hatch... you may have seen me, but I don't drive up Palo Verde all that much- mostly down Del Amo. We need to see how many other Yarii there are in our immediate area and have mini meets in the small parking lot at Del Amo/PV (where the optomotrist/Sudsy Dog is) lol! That would be fun...(and local).

[cali yaris]

pick a nite and a spot, and let's meet up in Long Beach.

Lol, definitely. Then hopefully by the end of Nov I can show off my new intake mani to you guys :drool:

[natethegreat38]

I know that they are already planning the meet at SpeedZone, but did you want to have smaller meets? You and I can start it up. What nights are good for you? Thursday nights are usually good for me

Did you want to get a bunch of peeps together, or are you up for driving all the way to LB for a mini meet?

I'm gonna try to go to other meets as well, but having local meets would be really cool too. Thursdays are super perfect for me. Lets hope others will find this thread soon.

[natethegreat38]

yeah! We'll just have to keep bumping it to keep it alive!

[eii]

pick a nite and a spot, and let's meet up in Long Beach.

I'm not sure where we would meet as of now. Maybe we'll wait till we get more people to post in on this.

[natethegreat38]

Between dvlnblkdrs being in HB and Malaya being in Torrance, I think halfpint, eii and I are more or less in the middle of everybody. Can everybody meet up on Thursday? For those of you that can, I am thinking either Cerritos Mall or Long Beach Town Center...
What say you???

[dvlnblkdrs]

[natethegreat38]

[natethegreat38]

jill, 1/2 pint...can you guys make it tomorrow night to LBTC??

[dvlnblkdrs]

[natethegreat38]

LBTC (Long Beach Town Center) is located off the 605. Directions from HB: Take the 405 N, to the 605 N, Exit Lincoln/ Carson, Take a left at the exit (onto Carson) and it is on the left hand side. Lets meet in the Wal-Mart gas station parking lot- there usually aren't any cars parked around there and the lighting is quite good...

[03Z33]

I'll try to make it out also.

[dvlnblkdrs]

sounds great..just dont look at my ugly chrome lug nuts.. black ones are ordered.. lol

[cali yaris]

[superskunk'd]

[natethegreat38]

Naw!!! All are welcome!! Let's just get together and talk about cars, or anything at all! I am inviting other friends too. You guys should tell your friends to come if they have an interest in cars...

Happens to me all the time. It epically helps when you fall asleep while driving at one end of a long road and make it to the other end without crashing. My mind and body just remember how to get there. This has happened twice.

No way dude, this is dangerous!! but i do believe what u've said tho, i had this experience once but my fd was driving, he managed turns and made sure the car was inside of the same lane, but end up found out that he fall asleep, how amazing tho

[darthbauer]

It happened when I worked for Auto Trader. I would stay up for most of the day and then pick up my magazines at 11pm and then take till about 2pm the next day to get them all out. If I crashed that would have been one hell of a mess as they were in the back of a open bed pick up truck.

[Malaya1221]

If you are interested, holla at your boy!
