We are meeting on the 22nd day of the month of August in Dayton Ohio. The current plan is to meet up at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum at approxiamtely 10:00am to 10:30am. We are going on a tour of the museum and afterwards crusing over to Sbarros pizza that is about 12 miles away. Afterwards we're going to look for a parking lot at Wright State University to have a quick photoshoot. We will probably be done around 3:00pm If anyone has any questions just pm me.

hmm... dayton isn't that far of a drive. I might have to go

[ChinoCharles]

I want to go but I'm trying to take it easy on my car... I don't think I'm going to make it.

[N2scouting]

Sounds like a good time. I will be their. FYI, the National Museum of the United States Air Force is the largest aviation museum on the planet. Admission is free and its open everyday except major holidays. Exhibits include every aircraft the airforce has ever used from the Wright "B" flyer to the B-2 Stealth Bomber. We are scheduled to recieve one of the space shuttles after the fleet is retired in 2010. There is a huge gift shop, IMAX theater, and cafeteria (pricey food). If you are a super aviation fanatic, you can research aircraft in the library upstairs by appointment. I have used this service for a scale model aircraft I built. Don't forget to visit the presidential aircraft annex. Several presidential aircraft are on display as well as a walk through tour of the plane that brought JFK's body home from Dallas.

ill keep it in mind though

[JumpmanYaris]

I might just be going since I been wanting to go to the AFA museum

[Qmobile]

^^ plus you get to chill out with your fellow yarii fans/drivers

[JumpmanYaris]

have to see if this is a good notice ahead of time

[Greenthunder]

Jumpman I'll add you to the list

thebarber, if you do plan to come on down let me know and I'll add you to the list :thumbup:

[Qmobile]

seems we have the potential of having a good sized meet, not that that's a bad thing of course

[detroiter]

Depending on my work, which I think I'll probably have the day off, I might come on out. I forget how far it is from me since it's been years of going to Dayton/Wright Patterson. I want to say it's some 4-4 1/2 hour drive. How long is the meet expected to last for?

[JumpmanYaris]

I would say from 10am till 3pm maybe a lil later i think:

Hey, are any of you attending, boosted? I've not seen a boosted Yaris in real life yet...

[IllusionX]

jesus christ... this is a ~3000km road trip for me if i go... tempting, really tempting..

[ChinoCharles]

If anyone from Canada comes, I'll come. I can't miss that. Screw my engine. :laugh:

[IllusionX]

man.. you are in OH, and you don't want to go ??

i cannot confirm. As i don't have income to cover the expense of a 3days road trip

[ChinoCharles]

I want to go. I SHOULDN'T drive that far until I get this thing tuned, but I'd make an exception.

[Greenthunder]

jesus christ... this is a ~3000km road trip for me if i go... tempting, really tempting..

Do it, you know you want to come on down

[CtrlAltDefeat]

It'd be great to have you there, Chino, but I don't blame you at all for not wanting to stress your car... we all love our cars (obviously :biggrin: )

[Qmobile]

[JumpmanYaris]

Am i the only one with a sedan?

[mikenacarato]

hmm... dayton isn't that far of a drive. I might have to go

ill meet up with you and cruise with you...IF i can get that day off work.
It is around a 4.5-5 hour drive for me so if anyone knows of a good place to stay thats relatively cheap..or free lol that would be great. i dont like driving 11-12 hours in one day.

[Qmobile]

Am i the only one with a sedan?

looks like your the only oddball......but that's not exactly a bad thing

[RHDVIPbB]

Am i the only one with a sedan?

You are now. I am unable to go guys. Sad too since its ony a 2 hour drive for me. I have family issues to attend to.

[mikenacarato]

well i tried to find someone to work for me..its a no go. :(

[JumpmanYaris]

looks like your the only oddball......but that's not exactly a bad thing

No shit I was the only one at IA untill RHDVIPbB got there on Saturday so just 2 sedans. And now he aint going so I guess ill be the only one :iono:

[Qmobile]

dont take it hard man the very first meet we organized we only had one sedan...........ah those days of old

[Greenthunder]

List has been updated!

[toad]

Am i the only one with a sedan?

my wife drives the sedan, but i'm pretty sure she's got things going on that day. i should pull her car behind mine just to piss-off the 'you can't tow with the yaris crowd':tongue: anyways, i drive the liftback, but have always liked the styling of the sedan(maybe better?) when it's been modded(like yours has!). i'm excited to see your sedan in person - our sedan is stock except for a yakima roof rack and pennzoil platinum motor oil. it might lead to inspiration!

[JumpmanYaris]

dont take it hard man the very first meet we organized we only had one sedan...........ah those days of old

Oh am really not complaining it just sux lol

[JumpmanYaris]

Any of u guys knows how to install a cold air intake? if yes ill take it with me so we have something to mess with

[Qmobile]

I can take a wack at it.........whicth one you got? I think it's just a matter of unscrewing this and transfer it to that as far as I understand it

[Qmobile]

Oh am really not complaining it just sux lol

well just think you have the extra door for cosmetic reasons :laugh::clap::bellyroll:..............don't kill me next weekend

[JumpmanYaris]

Well i actually do like the sedan more and thats why i got it but most ppl lean more towards the HB

[JumpmanYaris]

I can take a wack at it.........whicth one you got? I think it's just a matter of unscrewing this and transfer it to that as far as I understand it

Its the one from Garm

[Qmobile]

yeah acaully I'm not against 4 doors I kinda like the 5 door, I mite have considered one if it was availble when I got mine. Just my first car was a 2dr hatch..............my project car is a 2dr sedan................so I like smaller models again I not TOTALLY against sedans just something about a sedan just seems too big to me. The S sedan I think is pretty nice looking.

[JumpmanYaris]

My wife liked the HB as well thats why i got her one for her B-Day

[Greenthunder]

I can take a wack at it.........whicth one you got? I think it's just a matter of unscrewing this and transfer it to that as far as I understand it

He'll probably need a tuner also, I know a lot of cars now require a tune after some aftermarket parts are installed

[CtrlAltDefeat]

He'll probably need a tuner also, I know a lot of cars now require a tune after some aftermarket parts are installed

For the most part, from my understanding, there's no way to tune a Yaris with the stock engine management... It learns from all it's sensors after running with the mods on for a little while. It's a good thing with some mods, but a real PITA when it tries to compensate for other mods and "undo" them...

[JumpmanYaris]

I guess Tools its all whats needed

[N2scouting]

I live about 5 miles north of the Air Force museum. We could use my tools and driveway if you wish.

[JumpmanYaris]

got to know how to install it

[JumpmanYaris]

tI live about 5 miles north of the Air Force museum. We could use my tools and driveway if you wish.

but i guess we can all drive there and have a party to' right ? lol

[Greenthunder]

I updated the list :thumbup: Less than a week to go!

[Qmobile]

wow looks like this meet could be a big one!! 12 or 13 peeps with 10-11 of them w/yarii, we gonna have our own lil Yarii army down in Dayton

[DandiDani]

#9 and #12(jumpmanyaris) are the same person. so i guess we only got 12. i hope everyone shows up. not everyone showed up at the meet in TN.

[toad]

sounds like a plan! anybody else in the area(or just passing thru) want to head out with us?

[JumpmanYaris]

I would but its out of my way or I think so

[kac]

Oh dose anybody got a camera they're bringin' or could(stupid question I know)? How would anybody like my number incase you lost or anything?

I'm bringin' a camera for sure, and I'm sure other guys are.... Sent ya a PM for the phone number.

[Qmobile]

So we got:

Yarii

2-Polar White(maybe)
2-Blazing Blue
2-Black(one of each)
3-Meteorite Metallic

did I miss anybody or get a color wrong?
================================================
Mustangs

1-Screaming Yellow GT

Coming down to Wright Pat. AFB/Museum if I got it all right..........think I did

[toad]

just bringing the liftback - which is polar white, by the way :smile:

[ellenbetty]

My Mom is considering being my co-driver for the trip. She is worried that I have not fully gotten over the MI I had 17 months ago. Given my allergy to perfumed products, all it takes for me to have to avoid the group is someone wearing too much aftershave.

To the guy with the sedan, stay home. A group photo of nothing but Yaris liftbacks would look wild. (Just kidding, just park a little off to the side. :laugh: ).

[Greenthunder]

I'll be sure to put my Mustang right in the middle to disrupt the pics :p

[JumpmanYaris]

Yeah ill put my sedan right in the middle to mess the pic at least its a yaris ^ you have a Mustang lol so thats a little more wierd hehehe. still love for all car lovers idc what kinda of car it is i like all cars

[Qmobile]

well it's like this the first meet Mr.GT had a Protege........import yes.............lil closer than a 'stang to a yarii

[ellenbetty]

I'll be sure to put my Mustang right in the middle to disrupt the pics :p

With all the Yarises with tow hooks already installed, we should be able to move some thing as ugly, so sorry un-Japanese, as a Mustang. :laugh:

[N2scouting]

The parking lot at the National museum of the United States Air Force is pretty big. Do you have a certain location in the lot we are going to meet in? May I suggest meeting in the shelter at the South West corner of the Memorial area. Then we could decide where to park all the cars together. I have attached a link to an aerial view of the parking lot.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=39.778727,-84.113678&spn=0.002836,0.006958&t=h&z=18>

Also, what is the address of the Sbarros we are going to? Thanks for the info.

[2009BBPliftback]

I'm going to be staying at a hotel in Dayton on Friday if anyone is interested in meeting up on Friday send me a PM! Why does posting from my blackberry have to be so difficult

[Greenthunder]

Sbarro's address- 2727 N Fairfield Rd, Dayton, OH‎

I'm also going to update the list. Sorry for counting you twice Jumpman :redface:

Oh, I'd be down for tying all the Yarii to the rear of my car and having a tug of war. Bet you all a thousand bucks I would win too :P

[CtrlAltDefeat]

I would take that bet :wink:

[ellenbetty]

I got the address 1100 Spaatz Rd, Dayton, OH from the Internet as the address of the USAF museum. Photo (VIA Microsoft, VIA USGS) shows this address is near one of the three parking lots at the USAF museum. Right turn Clyde. :laugh: 2 rights from 1100 Spaatz Rd and you are at this parking lot. ssuming that this address is correct and the USAF lets us drive to that address, and the parking lot is accessable to us civilians, how about using the back of this parking lot for the group meet?

Please reference my location, location, location post. The area you have marked is not a parking lot. The opposite end of the museum has a gazebo type shelter we can use a reference/meeting point.

[ellenbetty]

I did read all the posts. Rather vague directions from my point of view. I was living in Maryland 18 months ago. I have been to Dayton just once in my life using my navigation system. Nothing in the directions posted stuck in my mind as a usable address that can be fed into a navigation system.

The location marked in the over head photo by the driving direction software is 1100 Spaatz Rd. I do not remember any one giving a different address to enter in to a navigation system to get to the USAF museum. The parking lot I am talking about is 2 right turns from 1100 Spaatz Rd. You need to re-read my post. You can see several vehicles parked at the parking lot, 2 right turns from 1100 Spaatz Rd.

The gazebo type shelter you are taking about I cannot identify from the over head photo. I cannot even guess from satellite photos where this gazebo type shelter is.

Plus I think the idea of trying to find a empty parking lot at Wright State University for the photo op is a bad idea. Too vague a location for any one not living in Dayton to find.

The reason I am suggesting the far end of the third USAF museum parking lot is that the far end of the parking lot is empty in the satellite photos. If empty on Saturday, it would make a good location for the vehicles to park together.

[N2scouting]

To all members attending the meet. Please see the above site for driving directions. please use the google maps sat view to see the gazebo at the SW corner of the museum memorial park.

Here are the GPS coordinates for the gazebo 39.778971 -84.113141

Why dont we just meet at Sbarro first and we can all head out from there?

[ellenbetty]

Clearly you do not know how most automobile navigation systems work. You put in country, state, city and street address. You tell the unit which type of road you want to drive, off road, quickest roads, most direct roads, most fuel economical roads, most scenic roads. The unit then figures out which roads to take. I am not using a military grade GPS navigation system. That address would be OK if I was programming a JDAM bomb or a cruise missle. :laugh:

There may be some high end hiking GPS system that double as a automobile navigation system that accept input on the screen of both GPS grid points and street addressing systems, but I do not think that can be done on most automobile navigation systems.

Well i got 3 a tomtom the one in dash and my cell has GPS as well so about getting lost is not what i am worry about

[ellenbetty]

Well i got 3 a tomtom the one in dash and my cell has GPS as well so about getting lost is not what i am worry about

So what does that have any thing to do with this discussion? My Blackberry also has built in GPS with automotive navigation software. I have a Garmin GPS StreetPilot 7200 with updated maps in my first Yaris. I have a Garmin nuvi 255WT with up to date maps in my second Yaris. I even have a basic Garmin etrex for hiking.

The official address of the National Museum of the United States Air Force is 1100 Spaatz Street, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433. Even the Official Web Site for the National Museum of the USAF uses driving directions generated by MapQuest. To quote "The entrance to the museum is on the right." Just as I described in my post. Just as the photograph I posted shows.

[Qmobile]

Ok Ok peeps lets not get on each other's case(at least before the meet).........I'm planning on using the site's directions and then HOPEFULLY I'll be find this gazebo DESPITE have a MioMap GPS. Way I see it you get there via however then HOPEFULLY someone will be 'round to ask where the gazebo OR be able to see some yarii(the plural of Yaris FYI) around......I mean 'round here you just don't see a big group of yarii........off the dealer's lot. So in conclusion lets just chill ok? ok thank you for your co-opperation

[kac]

Yeah, I'm just gonna try and get close. I've got a couple guys' phone number to harass if I can't find where I'm goin...

[Qmobile]

aight so I just got word that GT won't be joining us...........upsettting I know this is to everyone. But anywho tomorrow is the day guys!!

[ellenbetty]

So in conclusion lets just chill ok? ok thank you for your co-opperation

That is just fine with me. I did learn that my Garmin nuvi will accept GPS grid data in the three different formats including the one provided. My Garmin Street Pilot will not accept GPS input. The Garmin StreetPilot came with software that will create driving directions using GPS N HH.MM.SS W HH.MM.SS format and a USB cable to upload driving directions.

How ever the question of where the best place to park is for a group car photo is mute at this point. With my Mom in the hospital with heart problems, I cannot worry her by driving a 6 hour 18 minute round trip by myself, compounded with 4 hours of walking around a flight museum. Plus I would rather be near in case my Mom needs me to bring something to the hospital. Which reminds me, I forgot to take my Mom her hand lotion today, so I will have to take the hand lotion to the hospital tomorrow.

Besides if this Yaris meet is just a bunch of guys :eyebulge: over intake mods, noise making mods and forced induction without catalytic converters, then I am out of place any way.

[Qmobile]

If you mean that this is to meet up and see each others mods, customization ect. and just basically hang out............then yes that's exactly what's basically gonna go down tomorrow. Fact that's what normally happens with a meet at least all the ones I've been to that's what we've done. I mean if you think of any/all of the sections on this site and put cars/faces to usernames and add real-time talking rather than posting, add a location, date and time put all together and what have you got dun dun dun DONE: a meet.

I mean is all gonna be fun and all but if your gonna be a downer/party pooper then I at least don't want you there, I'm not tryin to start trouble or anything I'm just saying the way things work around here. My case and point out of all of the people that have shown interest in this meet ,asside from Chino, I bet I've been around here the longest since I was here BEFORE the hack/shut down....I think I join in Nov. 2007 a few week before I even picked up my then brand new car. Again not trying to make waves, get cocky or anything but it's the way it is

[DandiDani]

hopefully i will learn something new tomorrow.:biggrin:looking forward to it!

[Qmobile]

^^^ that's the spirit DandiDani!!! can't wait to meet cha as welll as everyboy else that shows up :thumbsup:

[N2scouting]

Here are the coordinates for the Gazebo in the memorial park area. This is a different fomat than the one I listed before. N 39 46.7385 W 84 06.78894
If you search these coords on google maps the sat view will place a green arrow on the Gazebo. The arrow will be in the lower left corner of the sat view, just zoom in on it. Ignore the big red "A" marker, that is for the Air force base. The museum is lower and to the left on the opening view. Looking forward to seeing everyone. If anyone needs a contact cell phone number or needs any assistance please PM me.

[Qmobile]

Yeah I think we're gonna be meeting @said gazebo for a lil meet 'n greet then we'll go into in the museum as a group

[DandiDani]

:thumbup:

[N2scouting]

FYI : The Sbarros at the given address is located inside the Fairfield Commons Mall in the food court.

[ellenbetty]

Looking at mods is one thing. Breathing fumes from a boosted vehicle without a catalytic converter is some thing entirely different. Suffering from asthma I do not want to get with in a 30 feet of a running vehicle without a catalytic converter. While I would like to test drive in a boosted Yaris with a catalytic converter, (after market large catalytic converters are legal in 49 states), I have zero interest in test driving a boosted Yaris without a catalytic converter. I would also like to test drive a Yaris with enlarged air intake with a enlarged exhaust system with a catalytic converter. Plus I would like to test drive a Yaris with larger the OE tires and larger that OE rims. Looking is less educational than test driving.

[Qmobile]

I don't think anybody's boosted so no worries ellenbetty

Well Good luck test driving one of the Yaris because I know for a fact u aint driving my car I am pretty damn sure no one is gonna let u drive their car either sorry but thats how it is so ya just "looking" would be the perfect term.

I wouldnt want u there if u r gonna bitch all day and yes its all about the cars
and as much as I dont want to say it then Yes u should stay home then. I agree with Qmobile if ur really sick like u make it seem then for ur safety stay.

Well what do u know you learn something new every day huh

I hope I didnt sound mean or anything just my 2 cents

did i just read GreenThunder is not going??????

Well I would not let someone drive my vehicle without a valid driver's license, proof of comprehensive insurance coverage, and passing a breatherizer test. So I would not blame someone from letting someone they have just met test drive their vehicle. But once you get to know someone, some might agree to permitting a test drive or a ride along.

You are right. But I am worst I wont even let Dani drive my sedan Helll no lol Drive ur own Yaris woman

[Qmobile]

Well Good luck test driving one of the Yaris because I know for a fact u aint driving my car I am pretty damn sure no one is gonna let u drive their car either sorry but thats how it is so ya just "looking" would be the perfect term.

I wouldnt want u there if u r gonna bitch all day and yes its all about the cars
and as much as I dont want to say it then Yes u should stay home then. I agree with Qmobile if ur really sick like u make it seem then for ur safety stay.

Well what do u know you learn something new every day huh

I hope I didnt sound mean or anything just my 2 cents

did i just read GreenThunder is not going??????

THANK YOU!!!:clap: I would've said something similar but I decided to hold my tounge. I don't feel as bad now!!! I knew I could've been the only one who thought that way. Yeah GT has to work OT. And the only way anybody's ridin' around in my car is if I'm with them.........I'm sorta protective of it.

[Qmobile]

Well c u guys and gals tomorrow, I've got a early mornin' if I'm gonna give the car a bath before I leave.

So later,
Q

sorry bout the crappy quality you would think it being 2009 and all one could get a phone that takes good pictures!

Anyone interested in a scan guage lol? 110 shipped hope we can meet again sometime.. Phil B.

[toad]

awww man! i should have stayed long enough for that picture by the plane! it was fun meeting everyone and like phil said, the museum was VERY cool! i would like to thank qmobile and n2scouting for hosting this get-together and greenthunder for organizing it(sorry you couldn't make it). let's see....8 or 9 yarii(i can't remember), 5 states represented, 1 interesting venue - not too bad for a bunch of midwesterners :smile:

[CtrlAltDefeat]

Well I got back at about 7:45. Charles and I stayed after until 5:00 and explored the museum some more... This was a great meet! :thumbup: It was great meeting everybody. It would have been nice if it could have been longer to tell the truth. Sorry GT couldn't be there... Charles has all the high quality pics on his camera so he'll let me know when hes got them on his server and the link. In the meantime I have to load my pics onto this pc still, so when i get them, i'll post what I have. I should have them in a few minutes :smile:

[Qmobile]

Q checkin in! Ounce I got back to the "stompin' grounds"('bout 2 hours) I linked up with GT at a HUGE local car show that was today 2 and we hung out for a lil.

And your welcome everybody!! This was the best meet I've been to yet!! And hey, if any of you are in my neck of the woods at anytime look me up. I'm kind of a quiet guy if you did'nt pick that one up, I do most of my talking via internet. Huge shout out to Jim(N2) for being such a great host/tour guide/witch-wayer:clap: I wish my ride was a lil cleaner but the car wash I was planning on stopping at was closed(I did'nt know a 24 hour wash closed). Oh btw Danielle did you learn anything? So........ok........yeah geuss talk to you guys later

Peace,
Q

[kac]

JUST NOW got home... A Lot of drivin. it was a good time for sure!

[CtrlAltDefeat]

Well pretty much all of the good pictures were taken by Charles (so you can use them for personal use but he wants a cut of the profits if you make any money off of them lol) Here are a few choice pix of the cars and a few of the group...

[CtrlAltDefeat]

more...

[CtrlAltDefeat]

jumpman's lonely sedan lol Very nice mods...

[CtrlAltDefeat]

well that's it for now... Charles will give me the link to the higher res gallery when he gets it set up. I gotta get to sleep. Great meet every one! Maybe this should become an annual event? just a thought...

[Greenthunder]

Thanks Toad, I'm glad you guys had fun :w00t:

It sucks for me since I wasn't able to make it at the last minute :thumbdown::thumbdown:

N2scouting, I apologize for not getting your email, Qmobile filled me in on how the meet went and I would like to give you a round of applause for helping out :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:


well that's it for now... Charles will give me the link to the higher res gallery when he gets it set up. I gotta get to sleep. Great meet every one! Maybe this should become an annual event? just a thought...

CtrlAltDefeat, that is a great idea, maye we could move the date up and start planning for an entire weekend of stuff to do in Dayton. I'm just throwing that idea out there for everyone to mull over.

Again I would like to say that I'm glad you guys had a good time in Dayton and the meet was a success. I would have rather hung out with you guys then working OT but it happens.

[DevilGirl]

Sounds like it was a blast!! Too bad I couldn't make it out there (Dayton's just a lil too far for me.... more then the entire length of PA away)... Maybe something a lil closer next time? :)

[JumpmanYaris]

Well Iam ready to go back to the museum to see the rest that I didnt get to see

[JTDBT903]

I've been waiting for some pictures to see! Thanks.
Needed more Sedan showings. That black one is looking good, as all the LBs.
If it were closer than the 4+ hours I would have made it (not that mine is anything to look at yet) Mini Cooper 16's and custom homemade lower grille.

I've always wanted to see the museum also, could've killed 2 birds but oh well.

Maybe somewhere near Lake Erie/Cleveland next year.......

[Qmobile]

I thought it was funny that when we were going to eat the sedan was last in the line at first, but seriously it's a clean ride OJ. I think a annual event is also a great idea!!!

[CtrlAltDefeat]

Charles sez:

It was fun going out to the meet even though I'm not a Yaris owner. I think they are cool little cars. Often underestimated and have tons of potential. Everyone there was great. n2scouting did a great job as tour guide. He obviously knows his stuff when it comes to planes and I'm sure everyone learned a few things from him.

It gave me a good chance to break in my new camera as well. It was my first time using a DSLR rather than a DSLR want to be. I think many of the shots came out great. Out of ~550 shots I had maybe 30 that were really blurry. Then I went through an deleted several duplicates. I've never photographed a group of cars before so I wasn't sure what to do beyond what I did.

The full gallery with over 400 shots total:
http://tda.ath.cx/gallery2/main.php/v/OtherCars/yaris/2009-08-22/

Yes, it is slow. I'm using server hardware from 1999 and running through a standard cable connection. But I don't have to deal with anyone else's hosting rules, limitations, or crappy image compression (like photobucket).

Car shots are on pages 12-16
go straight to Page 12 (http://tda.ath.cx/gallery2/main.php/v/OtherCars/yaris/2009-08-22/?g2_page=11)

I'd be up for going to another Yaris meet. This has encouraged me to actually go to a Saturn meet if they ever have one somewhat locally. (I drive a lowered 2000 Saturn SL2)

Nice meeting you guys

[JumpmanYaris]

Well heading back home back to reality

[JumpmanYaris]

I am home now ready to look at some pictures!

[Qmobile]

Just checked out Charles's pics and was very impressed you do good work man!! I like the one with one of my eyelids, the back of mine and even some of the sedan ones.

[JumpmanYaris]

[ChinoCharles]
