Poll: NorCal Meet Location...

[Kioshi]

Please vote for next location of NorCal meet....

NorCal members~

[JustAnotherAsian]

voted... and was oddly redirected to some oil-change thread. what a friggin odd and random glitch.

[BDD]

same here... took me to http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, I got the glitch as well.

As far as the location, I voted for the storage facility because I'm sure the pics that I can take there will be awesome. Also, Salmon Falls, although a fun road to cruise on, will most likely be too far for all of the NorCal folks.

[JustAnotherAsian]

i just did storage facility because that's so fucking random and potentially awesome for photography.

[contraband831]

as long as i am available i will attend any of these places, but a fun run would be great. it would need to be somewhat closer to get a good turn out.

[contraband831]

I got the glitch too

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i just did storage facility because that's so fucking random and potentially awesome for photography.

LMAO.

voted... and was oddly redirected to some oil-change thread. what a friggin odd and random glitch.


Same thing happened to me.

[Kioshi]

ok....i made this thread, and my very first poll thread, and i get the freakin glitch, wtf?!

ANyway, i voted for Salmon Falls, cruise/run...it just seems fun and cool to get us in a straight line together ( all 13 of us, maybe) for a nice easy drive....

Can we have picks of this storage facility computerlove87?? Not to be mean or anything, but when the word "storage facility" pops in my mind, i picture this abandon rusted old massive shed look-alike....dont ask me why :P

Thats why i voted away from the majority lol....

EDIT: 2nd vote for Salmon Falls is by a member a forum member whom I dont know if he/she is from NorCal~

[Kaotic Lazagna]

LMAO at the edit comment.

Anywho, old, rusted buildings makes for an awesome HDR pic. :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Some pics with cars in front of a storage building and/or parking structure:

You're the photographer, I'll leave the location up to you then:tongue:

Ok, I'll wait 1 more week then I'm setting up a date for this meet, meet arrangements/list/etc. will be in another thread....

EDIT: OMG....wow...nevermind, storage facility IT IS!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

HAHAHAHAHA.

[JustAnotherAsian]

holy crap. if this is going to happen at "storage facilty", after august 8, and with a photographer or two, i'm already 75% down.

maybe we can have time for individual photoshoots? i'll buy in-n-out for a decent batch of photos! *wink@kaotic&guy* haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

:wink: :biggrin:

[tomato]

Where in Mill Valley is it located? Is it the one that's on the side of the freeway by Strawberry?

[ztrack157]

I'm down for one closer to sac. Time and time again these meets start in one location then migrate to the bay area. I think it would be fair to have one more this way for a change.

[MiniTRD]

Hey guys -
new here, in fact this is my first post!

I just bought a 2009 Polar White 3dr Hatch Type S with manual transmission and "TRD package" - TRD springs, struts, shocks, TRD exhaust, TRD swaybar, TRD Sport 18" wheels. It will have basically every TRD accessory available as that is my theme! Even the license plate reads MINI TRD. pics will be posted soon.

Some of you may know my old scion tC - TRD TC (http://carsponsors.com/trdtc) from various car shows, Scikotics events, or cruises. Well, a deer along Sunrise Blvd shortened its life (http://rcinfo.us/cia/mods) and now I have a Yaris to replace it.

Since I am in Sacramento, I voted for Sac! Anyhow, I will try and make it wherever you end up. Hey Laz, it's Clark, Chuck's friend. He says hi and that you never call anymore. Ooops, enough off-topic!


See you soon!

Oh snaps, CLARK! Since when did you get a Yaris? That's awesome, man. You gotta get the Netz and Vitz emblems from Garm (Cali Yaris).

hahahaha, I never call anymore. I don't really call anyone. hahaha. I mainly communicate in person or online. hahaha.

[Gideon]

I chose Sacramento as well. I don't mind driving down to the bay area, but I've done it more times this year than I really needed to. And ztrack is pretty far away, so if he could come to a meet in Sacramento I think it's worth it to have a different member be able to show up to a meet. :tongue:

MiniTRD - man that sucks! Looks like it's right after you cross the American River. I wouldn't think you'd have deer around that area, I would figure the traffic would scare them away.

[MiniTRD]

well according to the CHP it happens quite often there at the river - in fact there's a deer crossing sign on the other side of the road!

the main thing is that I walked away from it. and now I have a Yaris!!!:w00t:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

How much did you get for the tC? Were you able to reuse some stuff from it? I know you had so much stuff in it. hehehe.

[Kioshi]

Holding off on a few more days.

To those wanting the Sacramento cruise/run...... How long is the trail, how long would you be willing to do the cruise, and how many can make it if i post up a date 3 weeks in advance for you guys? AND i mean dead serious on showing up~~ no flakes..

If you guys can be committed to the cruise run and not run off after an hour or so, then it may be worth it for us Bay Area folks to come up there..... (excludes Kaotic)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

LMAO. I'm in the Bay Area when this cruise will take place. hahaha. So I'll be heading up there too. Just letting you know now, I won't be able to make it if it takes place August 9-12.

Anywho, the cruise itself has two variation. The shorter one is 26.8 miles and about 48 minutes. http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=US-50+W&daddr=38.743373,-121.05423+to:I-80+E&hl=en&geocode=FXrMTQIdipvI-A%3B%3BFRieUQIdGpjI-A&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&sll=38.894239,-121.206665&sspn=0.549384,1.234589&ie=UTF8&z=10

This lot is about a third way through the shorter route, and probably a only a 1/4 way through the longer route.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Bump.

There was also another cruising road near SF that ended at a golf course. I have to ask one of my buddies where it's at tho as I have forgotten the name of the road.

[JustAnotherAsian]

ooh, sac in the lead.

i'd be down for that too if i'm available.

[MiniTRD]

Just let me know the time and place . . . I'll be there!


oh - here's a pic of the new car!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Looking nice, Clark. I want to drive it! hahahaha.

[computerlove87]

Hi guys, I am the one who offered the storage facility in Mill Valley, if it wins, I need at least 1 wk to get ready. Anyway, in case we do decide to meet there, it is 799 redwood highway Mill Valley, CA. For those who know the area, It is the green/brown facility (not public storage) right behind the Arco gas station and goodman's lumber. It is right across the freeway from In/out burger and Strawberry shopping center.

[advocate]

It's a shame the Sacramento meet can't be a lot sooner because I'm in Folsom right now at a buddy's place as I write. Unfortunately, I won't be staying too much longer. I voted for Mercado because I'm not sure if I could make the drive up to Sacramento area again and then drive another 50 miles. Money is a bit tight since I'm going on vacation and really need to save every penny I can. I leave for Hawaii around August 15th.

Well if you want to meet up with my car I work pretty much every day in Folsom, just right off of East Bidwell. :laugh:

Oh, yeah, I think I know where it is. Pretty easy to get to.

I hope I don't have to work when you guys schedule the meet. I'm sorry I missed you all last time. My car is completely stock though, so it may not be of interest to any of you. :iono: Still, one more Yaris on the lot :headbang:

[cali yaris]

Since I was raised in Marin, I voted for the storage facility - got the glitch too.

I voted because I'd like to drive up for this meet. :smile:

[contraband831]

Manual transmission FTW!! :w00t::headbang:

Welcome to the forum!

[computerlove87]

I am working out the date for the meet in Mill-Valley. I can probably do it maybe the weekend of Aug 15th or 16th, or the weekend after that.

It has to be a Firday night, Saturday any time after 11AM or Sunday any time after 11AM. So what times work best for everyone?

[tomato]

A word of warning: 101 North, and 580 on Friday night absolutely, positively suck.

Saturday eve, a bit early so you can get in some good pics? Plus that gives us time to wash the cars :smile:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Friday, the 14th should be okay for me. But in order to get good pictures, we should have it no later than late afternoon oppose to evening. I hope I'm not too tired by then since I'll be in SoCal from the 9th-12th, and the 12th is my birthday, so I'm bound to be doing something that day too. 13th a rest day, and 14th would be prep and meet day. LOL.

I forgot about that, but ur right, 101 SUCKS on weekday evenings. So we should probably do it Sat or Sun after 11AM.

Also, Aug 15/16 or Aug 22/23?

[Kioshi]

I'll let computerlove87 organize this meet ;)

FYI, friday afternoons, evenings, regardless of traffic or not, I can do.

I can't do weekends unless the official date is told to me 3 weeks in advance....work conflicts...

And Garm makin the drive up from SoCal?! hooo....ly... shiii~

[Kaotic Lazagna]

We can always head there before the evening.

[advocate]

So the Marin garage officially won the vote for location? Sounds easily doable for me.

BRB gotta get some last minute mods in before the meet!

And I work weekends like Kioshi so the sooner we pick a date the better so I can tell my boss what's up.

Yeah, that's best. Early afternoon is usually pretty clear. I'd be coming from Oakland too. (I moved to Oakland).

I definitely need Saturday morning free to wash my car, though, poor thing gets unbelievably dirty in Oakland, sitting by the BART TRACKS and freeway all day :cry:

Wait for GARM , he has parts for ya :wink:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

If it's the weekend of the 29th, I won't be able to go. I start class on the 31, and will probably have some hw to do before then...dang nursing program...

[Kioshi]

Computerlove, so whats the official date for this meet?

Thanks for puttin the (advance meet date) out there for us people who work weekends tomato, really appreciate that :) And dont worry about being stock, as long as we have lots of people there we're fine, mingling w/ many new people is a lot better than viewing modded Yaris cars, with the exception of Garm's car :P

ztrack - If you participated more in the NorCal meet threads that we had on here, maybe Sacramento meet would've been in consideration and/or would be 98% possible.... there's only two people on here from that area w/ Yaris cars that i know participate in these threads....and thats Kaotic and Gideon. Majority over rules dude~~

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahahaha, that's democracy for ya. hahaha.

[cali yaris]

14-15-16 bad for me, sorry -- 21-22-23 or 28-29-30

[MiniTRD]

my Yaris is only a couple of weeks old and I am on this forum from Sacramento! :biggrin:

Not many Sacramento area people, but ask Laz - I'm usually at every meet or carshow. I used to have a Scion tC - http://www.carsponsors.com/trdtc


so let's set a date and I am there - Fridays are bad for me because I have my CIA meets that night, but I can always make an exception!

[computerlove87]

3 weeks from now is also fine, honestly I can do anything friday night saturday or sunday at any time (2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, anything) so I will let you guys decide and once u decide I will set it. K? :)

LMAO, so who is making the decisions now?

[computerlove87]

LMAO, so who is making the decisions now?

Should we set up another poll? I am fine with anything, so its up to evryone else who has a tight weekend schedule. :iono:

[tomato]

OK, we all want to see Cali Yaris, right, so why don't we set it for 3 weeks from now, (so Yoshi can come too) : SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, late a.m. / early p.m. , in Marin County

(not too early so we have time to at least hose our cars down before hitting the road! lol!)

BTW, Is anyone bringing let's say Yaris world stickers, or cards to distribute or sell?

I won't be able to stay long (sure hope I don't get dragged into working over the week-end GRRRRRRRR!!), but I"d love to add my little red tomato to your group pics and meet ya all.

[tomato]

Looks like we need an other poll with dates and time and do it "open" so you can see who is voting for what date. That'll give you a better idea.

I just noticed that Lasagna can't come on the last we of august. Looks like we really need a poll with dates and times because it's hard to follow in thread format.

Can anyone set the poll or only the person who started the thread?

[Kioshi]

Computerlove, you gotta call the shots on this meet now, your leading it hehe (unless you want me to set some dates in mind?)

I cant edit the poll, so a new thread is the only option now~

Thread starter w/ new poll needs to consider the availability posted on here carefully so we dont have errors in the new thread poll....

And, MiniTRD, i was hinting at more of the Sac users on this forum w/ more post counts, I'm sure you'll make it out...you seem dedicated bro!

[MiniTRD]

no harm, no foul - just trying to rep for Sacramento!

Let me know whatever I can do to help.:w00t:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Hey Clark, you can help by letting me drive your LB after you get the sway bar installed. LOL. j/k.

Since Garm cannot make it on the weekends in August, why not have it on a weekday? Again, last week of August for me would be really iffy.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Okay, since there is no date, and no one is stepping up to the plate, how about August 24 or 25, Monday or Tuesday, respectively? Garm can't make it on the weekends, and this should be enough time to get a day off, and before school starts.

[Kioshi]

You can drive mine Kaotic, BUT only if you order a sway bar right after the meet... :P

I root for a Friday afternoon meet after 11:30am is fine.....
I don't need 3 weeks advancement for a Friday...

EDIT: I can do a Tuesday/Thursday (anytime), and Friday after 11am...

Here's to make it simple for computerlove or who ever starts new thread w/ poll....

Kaotic: before the 21st of August...
Garm:any day except 14, 15, 16 and weekends
Kioshi: Tuesday/Thursday (anytime), and Friday after 11am

Add your schedule times you can make it, so we can work something out asap~

[MiniTRD]

just let me know when - asap please. I should be able to make any time.

[Kioshi]

I'll wait tomorrow till 3-4pm before i step in and take over this meet....

So anyone who wants in, get on it yo~~~

[tomato]

Kaotic: before the 21st of August...
Garm:any day except 14, 15, 16 and weekends
Kioshi: Tuesday/Thursday (anytime), and Friday after 11am
Tomato: Sat, Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to ... late afternoon/early evening.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I think we should pick a date and just see who can go. Delaying it will only give less time to those who need to get the day off.

[JustAnotherAsian]

Kaotic: before the 21st of August...
Garm: any day except 14, 15, 16 and weekends

man. i'm the oddball. haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, I'm thinking 14, 15, 16 is too soon for a lot of people. I'm still thinking the 24th or the 25th would be best.

[cali yaris]

Garm: any day except 14, 15, 16 and weekends

where did the "and weekends" come from? I listed the following two weekends as possible for me?

[Kioshi]

Someone said you weren't able to on weekends in august...lol
Well, then could you repost the correct dates you are available? thanks...

[cali yaris]

here was my post, I can see how someone might think that:

14-15-16 bad for me, sorry -- 21-22-23 or 28-29-30

What I meant was not the 14,15 or 16th, too soon, but a later weekend might work for me.

But seriously guys, don't pick a date on my account, my car is not completely tuned and reliable yet, and I would maybe have to come up in the tC.

Ok, here we go again:

Tomato is OK with later week-end as well (not on labor day WE though)
Saturday any time (11:00 am to early evening) or Sunday morning/ afternoon

I drive stock, though, but if you need a spot of red for the pictures :smile:

OK......no one has stepped in...... fine >_>.....

This is what I came up with, reading people's posts on here

-----I'm leaning hot towards the 28th and 29th. I think others and I would still have time to request one of those days off because the 17th-23rd work schedule has not been posted up as of TODAY...

If it is the 28th, Friday, I want it late afternoon, early evening time.
If it is the 29th, Saturday, I want it afternoon mainly....

TAKE YOUR PICK GUYS.....in the new thread (damn i hope there's no glitch again~~)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Woops. Totally misinterpreted your post, Garm.

Anywho, 28 and 29th are out for me. Sorry.

[JustAnotherAsian]

Anywho, 28 and 29th are out for me. Sorry.
