Hey Quad staters!!! The Second Annual Dirty Car meet is in the planning stages! Offer your input! Make new friends! See Dirrrrrty Yarii!


Last year, a group of us met the weekend after Christmas in the overflow/commuter lot at the Palisades Center- Was really nice meeting/seeing all the folks from the summer meets, while not worrying about what the cars looked like- We even had guests from L.A.!

Since Christmas is on a Friday this year, I propose that we get together on Sunday, either the 27th of Dec., or the 2nd of January, in the same spot. This is an open plan- if anyone has anything better in terms of location or dates, let's hear it!

I'll start the RUMOR- Come see Crashy!!---RUMOR


Some pics from last year:

For someone who doesn't know, where is the Palisades Center? Is that the Palisades Mall?

Yep- that's the place- The overflow lot is nearest the Home depot, but on the other side of the beltway (the road that goes around the shopping center)

I might consider coming up depending on the weather. I know on the 26th I have family obligations. No clue about anything on the 27th. As for the 2nd, not sure if anything is going on yet.

My Mom-in-law passed away suddenly on Friday afternoon- if this is going to happen on the 26th/27th, I don't think I'm going to attend.

I do hope that this carries on though- it is good for all of us to meet and hang out and get to know each other. hopefully, i will see you all soon, whether at a meet, or an autocross event

Gonna hafta pass this time, multiple reasons. The 8th is our anniversary. The car needs to go in the shop (heater control box no longer functioning properly as I have hot air blowing from vents when the heater is turned on, but cold air from the floor).

Come to the Second Annual Dirty Car Meet!! See and meet other Micro Image/ Yaris World members and their Dirrrrrrty rides!

The overflow lot is across from the Home Depot. Please PM or call Goggles Pisano/ Bobselectric @ 914-494-2325

We were thinking about trophies, but Treyz has winterized his ride and isn't coming, so why bother (LOL). You don't need to wash your car, (some of us do though ;-) ), just come and hang out! Dress WARM!!!- we are outside in an open lot!!

It was a beautiful day on the frozen tundra of the overflow lot at the Palisades Mall in Nyack, NY. Not just the FIVE Yaris from last year, but SIX YARiI and an XD braved the cold for the second annual Dirty Car meet. Even the females of the species showed up, with the Yarii males. Maybe it was the attractiveness of the modified Yarii, or maybe it was the proximity to the mall- we'll never know.
Grazing was encouraged at the local TGIFridays, where a SEVENTH Yarii joined the herd. All in all, a spectacular showing for the Northeast Yaris group!

I wasn't going to encourage you to desert your ride in the commuter lot- wouldn't want to feel responsible. Anyway, the meet isn't about the cars per se- it was more about hanging with like minded yarii nuts- we only stayed outside for about 2 hours- then went into Fridays and chowed on some grindage.

Spoke with Yarold and RacerfreakXXX mostly at the restaurant- I think Garm should expect some orders for 23mm sway bars! B-)

Not sure of their current prices (and I can't access their site while at work), but check out Clark Color Labs (http://www.clarkcolor.com). I've had enlargements done through them a few years ago. The prints came back looking excellent! And at that time they were decent on their prices.

Check out Elco-Color Labs. I use them quite a bit for large prints (I've had them print from 20x30 up to 30x48). They only charge $9.95 for a 20x30 and 30x48 is only $24. They do an awesome job and their shipping charges are very reasonable.
