Nick, if you need/want someone to go with you to this meeting (you said Thursday, but I'm assuming you mean Friday/today?), I'm more than willing to go. I am planning to arrive in Pontiac around 4:00 PM today. That'd be sweet if we don't have to pay the $10.00, but than again it is for charity, so I don't mind either way.KITT222 wrote:Hmm... What you say makes sense. I emailed the person again, and I will actually meet with them in person Thursday to sort some things out, such as location, ask questions about the cruise night, etc... Admission to the night may be free for our group.
By the way... what's a cruise night?
A cruise night is essentially the same thing as a car show, except there are no awards. Everyone just hangs out, checks out cars, etc. It's a little more laid back than a show.
Holy blast from the past Batman! It'd be great to see you again Josh! It's been over 3 years now since our Chicagoland meet at Busse.tribalman wrote:decided to jump on the forum for the first time in a while and i see this. i just so happen to have vacation from work that ends on the 15th. 1h 30min drive, i just may head on down. what is the meetup location and what are the planned events?
Like I said, I just want to make sure that we will indeed all be parked together, otherwise... what's the point? Hopefully there is no miscommunication, etc. and it won't be a problem.KITT222 wrote:I believe the parking lot reserved for us is across the road from the Oakland museum.

We may do a trip to Starved Roack state park, participate in the Cruise Night, and will have dinner at Pontiac Family Kitchen.
Will do Tim ! Will you please bring your service manuals with you? I'd like to check them out in person and see whether they'd be worth buying or not. Thanks!tpollauf wrote:Nick & Carrie. PM me your cell numbers so I can contact you when I arrive. I'll probably be checking in to the Best Western around mid day Saturday. May be alone (wife is torn & undecided ) Let me know if there would be anything else before I head out.
So, I detailed the interiors of both Vibes and washed mine yesterday. I will be washing my mom's today. Than I will get my Vibe loaded up, get my stuff packed and I am hoping to leave Sandwich around 2:00 PM which will put me at the Best Western by about 4:00 PM. My mom and dad will be coming down tomorrow afternoon in my mom's Vibe.
I am bringing my Craftsman 154-piece mechanic's tool set with me in case anyone needs to do any work on their Vibe. I will also be bringing plenty of bottles of Ice Mountain water and a small cooler. I'll also be bringing bug spray and sunscreen, along with plenty of car cleaning products, including a small vaccuum that plugs into the cigaretter lighter. And last but not least, brand new Husky floor and cargo liners for any 2009-2010 Vibe owners who may be interested *hint hint*.
I'll see everyone later this afternoon and/or tomorrow! Vibe woo !
