Huntsvilles, AL meet May 26

[02MP5iiZM]

This is basically what Zodiac posted a little bit ago, I just changed a little.
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123668906

We'll be welcoming the Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia Mazda drivers to our area.

Details that we are sticking to right now is that it will take place May 26th, which is a Saturday and be held at 2pm CST. We normally wait atleast 30 minutes on any stragglers that could be caught up in traffic. We had 1 person who was lost when he got caught at a light. I don't want that to happen again.
Zodiac's cell phone number is (256) 541-0137
and mine is (865) 805-1531. They're both Verizon. Depending on the crowd, Zodiac is having the existing members who have shown at both meets bring 2 way radios for communication purposes.
Daniel is a Mazdaspeed3 owner on the "other" mazda3 forums. He gave a good idea about eating at Crickets, a locally owned mom&pop wing place here in Huntsville. They have a parking lot that should accommodate our cars for "dinner" The area for photos will have to be searched out and Zodiac will get back to you guys on this. Once Zodiac is able to drive around again he'll be looking at all the parks in the area.

I welcome any Mazda Enthusiast and anyone else who would like to take part in our meet!

In Brief:
Where: Huntsville, AL Possibly Sam's Club on US-72
When: May 26th, 2007 Saturday
Time: 2pm CST
Eat: Crickets
Events: Movie @ Rave Theater (from my understanding...)
Pictures: After movie
Bring: two-way radios, money for food and gas, you, your mazda, and any other mazda enthusiast!

Any other questions, ask Zodiac or me.
Tell EVERYONE!

I am working on putting my car back together, still waiting on my bearings for the LSD, but they will hopefully be here tomorrow and I can get mostly back together over the weekend, at least get the tranny back in, if so I will try to make it to this and try to get some folks to ride out there from the Atlanta area. I was looking at a map, and the way google told me to travel seems a little outa the way. Has me go up to Chat, then down to hunt, do you know of a more direct route, there are plenty of smaller roads that I am sure can't be that bad to travel on through there. When I get home to the GPS I was gonna map out a route that went through Rome, Ga. it is nearly in line between here and hunt.

i'm out of the huntsville area too. zodiac and i are pretty good friends, so i can get in touch with him and help him out with the pic locations. do we want to shoot pics before the movie, knowing that after the movie, it'll be dark outside?? anyways, i'm definitely gonna be there. my cell is (256) 541-0730 (T-Mobile). if you need directions in town, call me too. 02MP5iiZM, thanks for posting this on the Mazda Meets & Events pages. Hopefully we'll get a bigger turn out than we expected. if we want wings, buffalo wild wings or beauregards are great too, and closer to the movie theater. anyways, keep this thread going strong guys.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile, health took a turn for the worse, and I just had surgery on my wrist Monday. Here are the new details if you could please update them 02Mp5 =)

Next meet will take place at Huntsville, only to be fair. Very Happy

Here is the address for the theatre:

Rave Motion Pictures Valley Bend
1485 Four Mile Road South East, Huntsville, AL 35802

and the site you can get tickets:
www.movietickets.com

Just put in the zip, select May 26, 2007 show times and get the pirates tickets for 2:45pm.

If we want to get good seats, we should enter the Rave about 15-20mins before the movie starts. One hour before showtime would be reasonable (13:30ish), just enough time for greetings/socialization/picture taking.

Run time for the movie is around 2hrs 45mins so I'd guess that we wont get out until 17:30ish, probably a good thing because it should be relatively cooler at that time. Post-movie plans could be a group cruise around town, and then to the dinner location were we can socialize/take pictures for a while.

If you're in TN and want to caravan down, we can meet in Murfreesboro and take hwy 231 down. It's scenic and faster. Here's the roll call.

I think that's about it.

My name is Glenn, my cellphone is Verizone (256)541-5127

sonuva!.....why is it i always end up with crap to do on the days of the meets!(rant)

[02MP5iiZM]

I'm sorry. We'll probably have another one soon. : )

[thisangel_6]

sounds like fun; just joined the forum.
I like in Pensacola, Florida. Just 30 minutes away from Mobile, alabama.

but the meet is on my birthday so I dont think I can make it, but I would definitly try for the next. (:

[dugger_8]

Wow this is turning out to be larger then I expected! Oh and the movie is Pirates of the Carribean: worlds end. Sorry for my spelling mistakes! and dang that's a lot of mazdas in that pic!

[thisangel_6]

you guys should definitly come down to our weekly meets; its absolutely huge.

there are just a few mazda's but the the turn outs from everywhere are really great.

[dugger_8]

Pensacola is too far for me, lol.

[speedi3]

Pensacola is too far for me, lol.

If you hear about any meeting in the Nashville area lem'me know. Also I'm looking for a dyno in our area.

I won't make the 5/26 in Huntsville, But DAMN thats close.

Dude you NEED to go to this!!! EVERYONE should go to this. lol

[02MP5iiZM]

okay, i know this is probably illegal in some way.. lol but I got the tickets for the movie, and I really don't want to see it now. I'll probably go with chris and his guys and detail our cars. SOOO.. *drum roll* if anyone wants them, you can get them for $5, I paid $7 for them. tell all the people that are going and want to see this movie. because I rather give them to someone for cheap then just waste $7.

[02kllrb]

where do you plan to detail your car at?

[speedi3]

ANd how much are your charging? j/k unless you gone do it..

[02MP5iiZM]

Chris and the guy [and his girl] are getting a hotel, and while everyone is at the movie we are going to detail our car there. or one of those self car washing places.
Do you need a movie ticket for the movie they are going to?? : )

[02MP5iiZM]

just $5

[02MP5iiZM]

speedi3 are you going with us?
me, Chris and dugger8 are meeting in Nashville at 9 am
to go to Huntsville, Al
it's not too far from Nashville, just 2 or so hours.

Keep me posted on where to meet. I may be. Right now I'm supposed to be headed to a family reunion but its still up in the air.

We can get to Huntsville in way less than 2 (drive2) !!!

[02MP5iiZM]

less than 2, then that's more incentive to go!!!

We try to switch from TN to Al every other meet. June's will be in TN, July in AL, etc. I may have to move the TN meet location since we are getting fairly large quickly. It may move to Murfreesboro so we can use MTSU's parking lots. We can discuss it at the Huntsville meet.

[02kllrb]

oh please, i've made it to nashville in an hour and 15 mins! but i wasnt speeding?!:D which hotel are you staying at??

should we do a headcount, or just expect a large crowd?

i was thinking of doing somewhat of a scenic drive with a couple of corners on it, if the movie deal falls threw. i'm up for anything. as long as we get to hang out and talk cars or whatever.

[dugger_8]

I was referring to FL as a long way away, lol.

[speedi3]

Can make this one. Wife says so.. But I will make the next.

Make sure you guys take pictures. Sounds like it will be quite a few there.

[02MP5iiZM]

wait a typo? so you cant go?

[mazduh.]

Niceeee :thumbup:

I posted my pictures in the other thread.

[02kllrb]

which thread? I wanna see!

[sok07]

Nice to see some new faces at this meet. Hopefully it'll continue to grow come the TN meet next month, and I look forward to seeing you all again. I guess I'll remember all of your names down at the next meet, the only names that stuck in my head were Ashlee, Chris, and the people I already know from the 'other' forums. The rest of you, I forgot. LOL :D

I wish we weren't strapped for time for most of the meet, but nonetheless the photoshoots and cruise-in from Fayetteville to Huntsville was fun.

[mazduh.]

Daniel, I got your IM on AIM, THANKS!!!!

(bowdown)

[speedi3]

Nice job... Let me know about the TN meet! Hey anyone got a recommendation for tint? I want someone with good quality. thanks!

[02MP5iiZM]

where are you in tennessee? there this good place off I-140 [Pellissippi] 15% is good. but I rather have 5% now that I have 15%

[speedi3]

Nashville. I think I want to do what ever is legal. Not too dark. I've heard that 35% is good. What is legal in TN?

[02MP5iiZM]

35% is legal. but it's WAYYYYY too light.

[Shift2xlr8]

There are a few places up here in Clarksville that do good work, try SunScreen off of Fort Campbell Blvd/41A.

Chris

[speedi3]

Done. I'll give them a shot... i've had other recommendations but damn if they don't return phone calls or present themselves ligit...

I'll see if i can't get closer 20% I just don't want it too dark that A.) it attracts unecessary attention (five-0)... I get enough of that just driving regular... B.) so that i can still see at night!

Also.

What is the name of the powdercoater in Middle TN? I need to get these factory rims done ASAP.

thanks!

[dugger_8]

I've had 20% on all my cars since I started driving. I've never had a problem, *knocks on wood*.

[Shift2xlr8]

hey new guy....come down here to Clarksville, we have a guy that owns Hard Shell Powder Coating...he is really good and charges next to nothing to powder coat anything.

Chris

[speedi3]

Cool. I will try and schedule my tint and wheels on the same day... Make one trip up. thanks for the info.

I'll PM you my contact info to get the specifics.

[Shift2xlr8]

I'll PM you my contact info to get the specifics.

The wheels will probably take longer than a day so I would plan on riding around on stock wheels or find a cheap set of rims to ride around on for a few days, you can pay more to have them done sooner but just call the guy, I think you can find him if you search him on yahoo or google. Its called Hard Shell Powder Coating.

Chris

[speedi3]

What is the word on the next meet? Its almost the end of june and I haven't heard a thing!!!

[Shift2xlr8]

Look through the TN section more, its in here.
