bzinn 1 · 05-24-2010, 10:30 PM

This is great.......I am looking forward to meeting all of you guys.....and I can speak for the Scion guys as well,they are really glad to have us along,this cruise started out as a small idea a few years back as something to kick off summer and get us out of the house........

I wont really have anything done yet for Egplant either,I got a huge stack of parts to install but nothing has 100% of the parts to install.....like the stereo,got deck,amp,wires,comps,but still gotta buy subs,and build pods and sub box......lol......my work never ends.

I will be bringing my chili to cook there and my Coleman stove so if anyone needs a stove to cook anything we got one......

See you guys there.......this is gonna be a fun day.

OH yes. Lookin' forward to the chili again!

sqcomp · 05-25-2010, 11:42 AM

bzinn...my friend, I COMPLETELY understand what you're saying with "my work never ends".

It's going to take me weeks to properly stage all the speakers in this car...That's before I set and build the final enclosures. After that it's time alignment for weeks I'm sure.

*Astroman* · 05-26-2010, 03:34 PM

Patiently waiting for the big day...

jhsouders · 05-26-2010, 05:39 PM

I just took a preliminary trip up to Johnston ridge yesterday, it was overcast and all, but overall i was a nice drive! Cant wait to meet up with all you guys. It will be the most Yaris' i have ever seen in one place!

I havent signed up yet but ill be there.

BTW, for anyone who is interested, ill post my mpg numbers for yesterday

Interstate speeds were 65-70mph

Hillsboro, OR to Castle Rock: 47.5mpg
Castle Rock to Johnston Ridge: 37..6 mpg
Johnston Ridge to Castle Rock: 68.5 mpg
Castle Rock to Hillsboro, OR: 44 mpg (i hit rush hour traffic on my way home :( .)

overall mpg was 48.95 for the trip. Any idea what you guys will get?

well, seeing as I have a 4 hr drive just to get to the meeting location before the drive.... i'm sure I will be doing 70-75mph... thus 35mpg would be my guess, then once I get there, maybe closer to 40mpg, but even then, got to keep up with the group, I don't plan on being the last one up the hill, nor do I plan to break ranks once we have our caravan set up.

*Astroman* · 05-26-2010, 11:55 PM

+1 on the caravan. I think seeing all of us Yarii in a line will probably be the sweetest thing ever, and make an awesome photo.

I'll have a 4.5 hour drive each way. I think last time I came in around 32-34mpg. I'm hoping for better this time. I'll have the new throttle body on and hopefully working by the cruise, dunno if that will have an effect or not.

*Astroman* · 05-31-2010, 08:15 AM

Bump, less than a week! New TB is on and kicking ass, lighting mods done (for now) and started cleaning the car.

sqcomp · 05-31-2010, 11:14 AM

I'm excited to meet some people who like the same type of cars...

Can't promise as I'll have a "clean" interior. We've still got major construction going on in the sound system arena.

bzinn 1 · 06-02-2010, 12:04 AM

gettign close guys.....this is gonna be a fun day......guess I will have to break down and clean the car the day before,this rain is gettgin stupid this year.......lol

talnlnky · 06-02-2010, 02:18 AM

yeah... really rainy this year... I wasn't much of a fan of a 6month long overcast/rain season to begin with.... raised in Spokane.. used to clear skies in the winter.... oh well... i'll get used to it... I hope

*Astroman* · 06-02-2010, 10:02 AM

Been rainy here too, glad the forcast is calling for it to be nice and clear for the weekend.

I moved here from Spokane in '98. I still miss the winter sunshine.

With the exception of 6 months in japan, I had lived in spokane for the first 25 years of my life. It's hard to give up a lifestyle which is so ingrained in your daily/yearly habits.... I miss sunshine, I miss the people (well, some of them) I miss the mountains all over... I'm going back next week to get married, and then at the end of the month for hoopfest... but honestly, I wish I was living there... but I'm signing papers today that will officially make me an officer for LCSO, so I'll be sticking around here for at least a few years. I do like the close proximity to the ocean!

Thirty-Nine · 06-03-2010, 11:57 AM

So, who all is coming up from Portland/Eugene/Salem? I was wondering about a caravan up to the event.

1. Thirty-Nine

darkmoon87 · 06-03-2010, 12:22 PM

OK. I am 80% sure I will be in for the meet. 5 1/2 hr drive down from Vancouver BC won't be fun cuz I have to wake up at 4AM at least...given that I will be hitting Seattle just in time for a hellish traffic jam.

Anyone who is going down from North via I-5 wanna cruise together perhaps?

God damn it's gonna be a long drive LOL....
There better be many sedans out there otherwise my car will become very lonely

sqcomp · 06-03-2010, 12:26 PM

I'm in Battleground. If we have a meeting point ip PDX I'll make it happen. There are plenty of points along the I-5 corridor to meet up. It WOULD be cool to take a "pre-cruise" picture at the Rose Garden...

...just planting the seed...
