Dude what? lol your such a party pooper man... the group has spoken.

RoundUp · Post by **RoundUp** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 12:51 am

I voted for the 24th. If we pick the 17th we will need to get our plans set in stone before July.

A lot of people take their vacations then. It may be difficult to get a hold of people (including the folks at security) if we have any changes. I just want to make sure a bunch of security guards don't show up and kick us out for trespassing.

I think that a kick off at the GM Canada Headquarters, fun run/ car rally followed by a huge BBQ would be great.Lets get an organized planning meeting in place. IE who wants to hook up for coffee and shoot the $$## for a few hours???

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 11:46 pm

While we are at the headquarters, we'll pester them for Super Charger Info! heh. Sounds like this will be a pretty awsome meet, I'm getting hungru for bbq already.

If anyone is interested, we could meet on the Saturday and then take in the molson indy on the sunday. I have gone the past few years and it is amazing.

ZedTim · Post by **ZedTim** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 2:27 pm

I was thinking that we would kick things off at GM and end at the park and then we cook up a storm...of course people can stay over and then attack the Indy on the Sunday but at the same time there is the car show here on the Sunday, can see how a car show should be lolT

trocar · Post by **trocar** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 11:38 pm

whatever works and gets the best interest and attention is where my vote will be. I am really looking forward to getting a group together and having a great time. Hind sight is 20/20 meaning that if we all went to the indy, we would not be hanging about as a group of vibers, so I would like to see if there is a Sunday event that we could have as an add on that would be centered around the cars that brought us together in the first place. Suggestions?????We should also think about talking to people at GM re:sponsors prizes and the like.Any other companies that anyone can think of that we might approach about sponsoring or having a rep available to answer questions. I was thinking about one of the performance shops in the area that carries stuff for the vibe/matrix.I know that is still early but if we can get some info out there then it is more we have time to contact people and let them know what is going on.

trocar · Post by **trocar** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 11:40 pm

Would anyone be interested in having time at the local race track for some lapping. If there is interest I will contact them and see wht I can set up. Another thought is that I have a contact that has an advanced driving school that we might be able to come see us and give a few pointers.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Tue Mar 09, 2004 12:59 am

Well the indy would be awsome having never gone to one before but my feelings would not be hurt if we found something for us Vibers to do together. Cause yeah at an indy... its going to be busy as hell around there and we would not be as a group for sure. I'm down for some laps at a track though lol

It'd be good to have the track solely for us Vibe/Matrix owners for a day!I believe someone's posted some rates at Shannonville in the link...http://www.matrixowners.com/mo...19765

I wanna see you guys speed around in your supercharged Trix heh.

trocar · Post by **trocar** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 10:52 am

If there is REAL interest in a track day. I'll get in touch with a freind who is a memeber of a small corvette club that are trying t oget a track day together. If we aget more people to share the expense, then it would be a bit more reasonable. I have been to days like this at shannonville an they were amazing!!!!!!(By real I mean people that are willing to commit 100% an throw a few $$ in advance to confirm they will be there.)I think that this would be a seperate event from the meet in the summer.

ZedTim · Post by **ZedTim** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 2:13 pm

Well so far it is looking like the 17th of July will be the annual Oshawa meet. and I would like to incorporate a car rally as well plans for this will be to follow and of course how it is going to work exactly

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 11:53 pm

Think we can get a GM rep to come discuss Vibe info, supercharger stuff and all that?

04BlkVibe · Post by **04BlkVibe** » Sun Mar 14, 2004 11:11 am

July 17 is good. Sounds like fun. Missed out last years event since I don't have a Vibe then...but I'm looking forward to it.

Big_Red · Post by **Big_Red** » Sun Mar 14, 2004 11:03 pm

Well some of you remember the C7 Performance cruise last fall. Well, I have asked them to help out with our meet, if we help them with theirs. Basically, what I was thinking....and it is entirely up to you guys/girls to agree or disagree, but we can either do the sponsorship or ask each car to donate $5 to participate if they wish. If they contribute more than $10 MADD should provide them with a tax receipt.

ZedTim · Post by **ZedTim** » Mon Mar 15, 2004 2:57 am

Very good Idea I'm sure I could swing that

Oops..just realized the plant shut down schedule...July 17 is not good. I believe the following weekend would be much better. Roundup: I nominate you for setting this up ... Thanks!

Thanks!Sorry guys I know it is the plant shut down but the plans are already in the making and that weekend has been booked for some "special visitors" I have coming

ZedTim · Post by **ZedTim** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 2:26 pm

Okay people looks like everything is going well here.... will have BBQ at the lake after car rally and some special guests to educate us on products (can't really say what just yet) and how they work.Thoughts?

trocar · Post by **trocar** » Tue Mar 30, 2004 6:28 am

Zed how are the plans comming, need any help yet or are we still to far away to get things arreaaly well pinned down?Has anyone been in touch with GM to get the clearance for the parking lot. I think that we should meet at the Head office parking lot this year. Any thoughts???

04BlkVibe · Post by **04BlkVibe** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 9:25 pm

Again: It would be close to impossible to plan anything that weekend (shut down weekend) and everyone important from the plant will be on vacation. Can we please postpone this by a week or so? Thoughts????

trocar · Post by **trocar** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 12:12 am

It really does not matter if Gm is shut down because we are just using their lot for a gathering place. I know that Zedtim has a guest hooked up for the day that should be interesting( Sorry not a SC Vibe) . From what I understand the plan is to have a meet and greet, then hit the road for a cruise or fun rally, followed by meeting up again by the lake for a BBQ / brag fest.So what GM is up to shoukd not interfere with our plans

ArcsVibe · Post by **ArcsVibe** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 11:53 pm

Keep us posted trocar please

No fear people I am still alive here!! been busy lately and so far all is a GO for the 17th of July looks like we are going to be having a fun day, a little pow wow get together leading into a car rally ending with a BBQ and a few guests at the end lets just keep our fingers crossed for the weather!

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sat Apr 24, 2004 11:23 pm

I'm getting worked up for this lol sounds like a lot of fun.Someone was saying GM has a car show this summer?

04BlkVibe · Post by **04BlkVibe** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 2:33 am

Okay...so what are the plans for July 17? What is the wish list of things/events that should occur? How many people is for sure coming down to this meet? Who are the special guests?

Big_Red · Post by **Big_Red** » Wed May 05, 2004 12:18 am

You know I'm in unless I am scheduled to work.

That weekend is the same weekend of DarkNights. I think we should have the meet there instead. Why? To show them aftermarket companies how many Vibes there are. As well, we all will be able to check out the cars at DarkNights.

Can you give more info about darknights, ie where is it being held and what is it???
