hey hongkongnerdboy, i did not put you on the list becuase you told me you had crashed your car. maybe you can get a ride with another member?

ya i didnt put some people that i know are active on the forums. i just people that log on every once in a while but do not reply to any posts or topics.
I remember when i first started on the site i got to the toyota fest 2007 and i saw two members from 6gc arrive 2 min after i parked my car. they asked me if i had checked the meet/event discussion topics and i had no clue what they talking about becuase i had only joined the site a month priorer to attending toyota fest.

So maybe if we can message those people on the list i posted we can get more members to show up at the meet?

[BonzaiCelica]

I liked Autobacs as much as the next guy, but it's no mystery why they went out of business. It was just an attraction for car enthusiasts and nobody really bought anything because the prices are so darn expensive there. I would like I feel like I contributed a little bit buy purchasing a radio from them and having them install it , but sad to hear what has happened to it. How do you know it's owned by Mexicans now? Did their inventory of large chrome rims and other various chrome parts for Honda Civics increase?

Hmm it's weird watching a SoCal meet being put together and me not being a part of it . It was a little over a year ago when the SoCal crew was booming, but then everyone just started leaving, crashing/selling/parting their Celicas, or just simply dropped off the face of the 6gc map. I hope this meet turns out really well for you guys because most of the people posting here are Celicas I've never seen before, so please take pictures .

[99Celica]

any updates? If it's gonna be on the weekend I've gotta try to get the day off in advance

[BonzaiCelica]

ya i bought radios for my car there, some tires, speaker, i contributed to the place a little. but yes i agree not really a place to buy from just to hang out and watch best motoring vids and to have meets like you said. yes i asked an employee why the name changed. she said it was owned by mexicans now and that they did not let the employees choose the name of the store. So their family chose the name. And yes there are 24 inch rims and grills, an engine from a chevy sitting on display.

ya hopefully we can get something going. Im still waiting for people to tell me when they are available i have weekends off. So 99 celica i dont know what else to say. people aren't putting forth any input as to what we should do or letting me know what days they are available. So i guess we will just have to wait it out...

You should try to contact Random Stranger. We were supposed to get a meet together around this time, but my schedule got too busy. However, I still have something planned for later this year..

[windowlicker]

the new owner of autobac/autotoyz is the same guy that owns the company "matirx" that make a lot of cheap/ebay quality parts. heard this from a reliable source that supplies them with goods. the store was really lacking in selection last weekend and the car show wasn't really that great either. prices are still pretty much unchanged from when it was autobacs. looks like they just need time to kinda get things running right and make changes in some spots to make it a successful business.


i'm still up for a more organized celica meet though.

[dlx742]

i'd be down for a socal meet. just give me a few weeks notice so i can get off work and i'll be there

[BonzaiCelica]

Im still waiting on people to give me notice so that we can plan on getting something organized. people keep on asking if its going down or when are we doing this, but no one puts the days that they are available. So theres not much i can do....

[xs94st]

I say saturday august 1st.

Cuz I get paid that friday, its a month in advance, and I can request it off.

Everyone just put dates of weekends that you are available, then we can get a concensus of a weekend we can all agree upon.

[k-weaver]

I'm in Santa Barbara county and i'm totally down for a meet as long as a good group of people go. I'll be on vacation starting 07/18 and would prefer to do it then. Otherwise weekends work best since I always have those off. We should totally do this...

People start posting your days so we can get somthin going!!!

[windowlicker]

weekends in august werk for me.
