I think you're right, sure looks that way.

Does anyone know how long it woud take me to get to Sacramento (in traffic) if I leave SF aroud 5:30 p.m.? I think it might be pushing it a little, but I'm willing to try.

(I don't park in SF exactly, so technically I'd be leaving Emeryville around 5:30 p.m)

Anyone else leaving from the East Bay? What time are you planning on leaving?

Kioshi · 10-12-2009, 08:33 PM

How fast are you willing to drive tomato?

From SF it should be 1 hour and 35 mins. It took me from Fremont about 2 hours through no traffic cruising 70+

I'll plan on leaving around 5pm and I will be taking 680 Interstate (closest to me) which the traffic through that place will have me arriving close to 8pm~ish >_<...

THAT'S IF I COME, I'm maybe for now...

We have quite a few members in CIA, but not everyone shows up all the time (including myself). Expect at least 8-10 CIA members, but since this is more of a party, expect more than that to show.

How fast? Why I *always* follow the speed limit, don't you?

Seriously, I imagine it's going to be stop and go for the most part seeing that it's Friday night?

Put me down as a maybe, too. I don't like Friday eve anything because of the !$@#$#@ Friday traffic , but I'll make an effort if it's going to be the last 2009 meet

advocate · 10-13-2009, 03:13 AM

Slightly random: Tomato go to bed!!!! I know I am. It's late. Plenty of work to be done tomorrow.

*tomato* · 10-13-2009, 04:00 AM

Can't sleep

I follow the flow of the freeway, whatever 95% is doing, I do...

It will be stop and go in some parts, but once you hit Vallejo, its easy, long, and boring sailing from there >_>

Same here~~

jrjrdinh · 10-15-2009, 04:24 AM

Can I come even though I don't own a Yaris? I'm in San Jose. I"m quite interested in Yaris and also what parts your put in it, maybe similar to a Prius?

advocate · 10-15-2009, 08:00 AM

A Prius is a hybrid / gasoline mix and not likely to share parts with the yaris at all. I can't say for sure but at least that's the feeling I get.

cali yaris · 10-15-2009, 11:21 AM

^True, but the Prius does have the same block.

jrjrdinh · 10-15-2009, 01:12 PM

That's what my car looks like. So does that mean I can come to the gatherings for yaris? haha.

The reason why I'm so interested is because I can't find any Prius gatherings so I can't meet with any other drivers. You guys look very active and I think Yaris and Prius are almost the same, they save some gas and are small cars.

*tomato* · 10-15-2009, 01:20 PM

hahaha!! the Prius is huge compared to the Yaris LB :)

Personally, I think it'd be great if you hung out with us, but it'd be better if you sent a PM to Clark (mini TRD) directly because he's having it at his house so he's kind of in charge of that one.

Welcome to the forum by the way :) and nice pictures!

This is Clark, by the way

thank you! I'm not sure if I'll make it to the Sacramento one because I get off work at 9:00pm, meaning two hour drive thats 11:00pm :(

But I'm interested in attending the next meet! When do you think another one will happen?

If i take my glasses off and stand back a distance the front looks kinda like a yaris

*tomato* · 10-15-2009, 02:08 PM

^ True! I get them confused when I look into the rearview mirror!

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
