Would you like to elaborate on that? Pabs I understand you live near Biffs so its easy for you to make those meets. The rest of us have to drive at least 30 to 45 minutes just to meet up. I'm sure the same thing goes for the Castroville meets. You really wouldn't prefer driving down this way because the distance but I would because its only 10 minutes away. As for the Saturday monthly meets we never got the word out in advance really. To be honest I didn't even think about it until I saw your post the day of the meet! Just need to plan a little better for the next one. The size of the club has not grown by any means in the past few months of getting it up and running again. We have not really gone out there and tried to recruit members either! It does suck that there are so few of us here because it does make it difficult to do things. I totally agree. If we had more members than more would show up. So lets work on getting the word out. I know I've seen a couple of nice 3rd gens in the area lately but have no way of letting them know about us. What we did when I was in the UFBA(Utah F-Body) was made flyers. I have the next few days off and I'll see if I can get a few made. Ill post them on here and we can vote on the best one. Then we can all print them off and start handing them out or placing them on windshields of cars to get the word out.

I never mentioned Biff's at all, the only thing I said is obvious (to me at least) It's the "monthly meet" thread and only 1 person posted....so this was not aimed at you Eric.
Morbital and I had a chat yesterday where the only "active" member's are you, morb and me and that's what's sad only 3-5 ppl are intrested in their car enough to try and get together with other 3rd gen owner's.
Ppl need to get involved, I see 3rd gen's all the time and I've invited them over to biff's to hang out but what does that say of us if there are NO 3rd gen's out there (example this friday) We need to make this monthly meet a "priority" biff's and castroville are secondary.

So just because people can't afford the gas it takes to drive across san antonio to meet up, that makes them uninterested in their car?? I'm sorry i was in school and had no time to work, to make money, to pay for gas, to drive 40 something miles in a car that gets MAYBE 6 mpg. I'm also sorry that all my extra time was/is spent trying to fix my car so that maybe, just maybe i can drive it that far without anything breaking. Didn't realize that made me undedicated, I'm truly sorry.

I dint post this so ppl could get butt hurt I never pissed in anyone's cereal it was a general statement and you could have all the reason's in the world not to make it but in the end your NOT making it....not saying your not intrested in your car.
I used to work 90+ hour's and still had time to meet in my other club, I've also been broke and unemployed and still made the meet's maybe not all the time but as often as I could. Ive been a member here for a little under a year and so far I've only met 3 member's.
But really this thread is to bring 3rd gen owner's together...not to piss them off....but if you still feel that Im calling ppl out well then prove me wrong and show up.

This monthly meet was just bad timing all the way around.
We need to share phone numbers so we can keep in contact via text, that seemed to work really well last time when we met at Wing Stop that one time.

I'd love to prove you wrong. but i don't have the money or patience for it. maybe you'd see it differently if you lived way out here instead of in the middle of everything. Its true ive only been to one meet but i just dont have the extra money it takes right now. maybe sometime in the future.

Ok ok, pabs lay off the kid I have met him he is cool. Cmon he likes third gens he is in high school (not like the other Honda lovers) he does some posts, and he went from auto to stick! I've seen posting for the last year or so. I know I can't make every meet I work nights 4 weeks, and days only two. Saturdays would be a good day like I had posted before but it never got going, no Saturday meets in Sa. I've also had my car broken for six months and just Now got on the road. Im going to try and make Castroville as I can so that's my vote. This place is also far from but I like the drive and I like flying bye all the old muscle cars on the way there. It's a third gen, with a t56 and 411 gears. We here to stay so everyone might as well put up with us!!!!!!!

I never even pointed him out he just took it upon himself to say something :s I dont know you so I have nothing against you like I stated before it was a GENERAL statement....
We can do the meet's saturday that's fine with me so is the 3rd saturday of each month good?
And once In a while instead of meeting in a restaurant we should meet at someone's house that way we can wrench on our car's and help other ppl work on their's....Im not great with the tool's but I can hold a flashlight like it's cool.
